Problem with slide bustle and slide; no action or inspection by maintenance.  Possible contact with COVID-19 passenger in which no actions were taken by company to protect passenger and crew from possible virus contact.Suggestion - New overhaul of employee management actions.Ill passenger sat on the slide bustle in front galley for more than 5 minutes. I asked if a mechanic could look at the slide and bustle to make sure that they were intact but was ignored.  It was more important to get the flight out.
Flight Attendant reported possible exposure to COVID-19 and cited no action on the part of the company.  Flight Attendant also stated a reported slide bustle maintenance issue was also ignored.
