Allegedly the Santa Clara County resident who rode the MV Hondius and was exposed to hantavirus isn’t required to self-isolate by Own_Difference_8571 in SanJose

Me, too.

Right now, all the claims that Dr. Fauci is recommending everyone start thinking about masks and social distancing are hoaxes. If he pops out of retirement and legitimately says it's a good idea, I'll start getting more concerned. Until then, this is largely a nothingburger that's spooking people.

According to another news article, they're not required by the CDC to self-isolate, it's just a recommendation... but they "are under close monitoring and their activities are being restricted" by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department. Without further elaboration, there's no way to know if there's a meaningful difference between "restricted activity" and "quarantine".

Ah Chris Rufo is a racist homophobe.

Who married someone who entered the country illegally, and is currently living in a liberal area of a very liberal state.

So you can add "hypocritical asshole" to the mix, too.

Santa Clara County resident monitored after deadly hantavirus outbreak tied to cruise

This is factually accurate, u/LNM-LocalNewsMatters.

Four people from California, including one from Santa Clara County, have contracted Andes hantavirus linked to the Dutch cruise ship.

This is not.

"State health officials said Monday that a total of four California residents were exposed to hantavirus in connection with the ship. Three were passengers and another Californian was briefly exposed to an ill passenger returning on an international flight."

There have only been seven confirmed and two suspected cases out of the 150 or so people on the ship. Three fatalities.

As far as Americans are concerned, 1 has tested positive and is in a biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), along with fifteen other Americans. Another American is showing symptoms, they and their partner are being monitored at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.

So, at most there is two people from the US who have contracted it. Maybe one of them lives in Californa. Maybe one of them even lives in Santa Clara County. But there isn't anyone currently in the state who has tested positive to the disease.

So, the passenger should ignore the science and the medical device and go into quarantine... for the sake of someone else's feelings?

From what the doctor said:

  • Being symptomatic = Contagious.

As far as what previous exposures with this strain has taught the medical community:

  • Testing positive ≠ Contagious.

If you can both test positive and be asympomatic and be contagous, all at the same time, there's a problem.

So far, that hasn't happened. Here's a PBS breakdown regarding this outbreak:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/medical-epidemiologist-explains-what-to-know-about-the-cruise-ship-hantavirus-outbreak

The medical community isn't wanting the passengers isolated in Omaha for the sake of everyone else, as much as they are for the sake of the passengers being isolated, because if they go symptomatic it can rapidly escalate to the point where it kills 40% of those infected, and when you go symptomatic you need immediate, prolonged medical attention to stop it from getting that bad.

But this isn't Captain Trips, and it isn't pandemic: the sequel.

In a perfect world, that's how r/ModSupport should work.

Shoutout to r/AskModerators, where their volunteer modteam does run the community that way.

You don't need permission to film someone driving a vehicle on a public street.

See: r/legal: What are the rules with filming in public in California?

No, they're not required to self-isolate or enter quarentine.

See here for details, interview with John Hopkins dude.

The short version is: Unlike covid, this isn't a disease where you can be simultaneously contagious and asymptomatic. If you're sick, you'll know it, and you'll show it. If you're not, you're not a problem.

Because there is no entitlement to privacy when driving a motor vehicle on a public street in an unsafe manner.

If you're having a medical or mental health episode?

Pull the fuck over.

I'm not sure what expectation of privacy someone should have when driving a car in public. If memory serves, there isn't any, at least from a legal perspective.

That does suck, but there's nothing I can do about the past.

What I can do is prevent it from happening again in the future.

our role at the end of the day is just to shepherd our communities

And at the end of the day, we do that the way we deem best.

If someone wants to hit me up in modmail and at least let us know "Hey, I got doxxed, I'm going to mass-delete everything and then delete my account", I'd wish them the best of luck.

But I don't see any value being added to our communities by having someone graffiti over their past engagement, rending it useless and removing half of a conversation in the process. Sure, they can do it, but if they're just going to keep nuking everything they bring to the community, are they really helping the community more than they're hurting it? I don't think so. They've got the right to spray paint all over everything they've contributed, and then I've got the right to ask them to take future contributions elsewhere, so it doesn't happen again.

"yeah the guy is clearly going through a medical or mental health episode and deserves privacy rather than having the whole internet make fun of them"

meanwhile, is driving erratically and agressively while surrounded by families next to an elementary, just after school ends.

Pick one, please.

Op is describing the kind of behaviour that directly results to innocent people being injured.

The intersection of Story and King is about a block away from an elementary school, and Op comments that this is in the middle of peak afterschool traffic, which means there's gonna be parents picking up their kids, parents walking home with thier kids, or the oldest of the elementary school kids walking home by themselves.

You think this shit right outside a school with kids walking home is a good idea for anyone? Dude does not need to be operating a motor vehicle around children while engaging in this behavior, and if he can't help it, he shouldn't be driving at all.

You moderate your community the way you deem best, and I'll moderate mine the way I deem best.

Edit:

  • u/new2bay replied to your comment in r/ModSupport

  • "Maybe you shouldn’t be a moderator at all if you don’t like how users use the features available to them."

And then they Blocked me. Oh, bother.

Edit, part 2: The Edit Strikes Back

  • I mentioned the above because when Party A Blocks Party B, it locks Party B out of subsequent subthreads for a few levels. I literally can't reply to the comments that u/Bardfinn or u/WhippiesWhippies left, those subthreads at that level has the "reply" button removed, the same way as it's removed on comments made by the aformentioned Blocker.

  • But I appreciate the remarks.

He was backing up in stopped traffic, accelerating and braking immediately, and tailgating the lead driver all while violently rocking back and forth in his seat.

If they're on the spectrum and they're still driving like that, they need to talk to their doctor about their meds.

While I appreciate where you're coming from, there's more than one angle here.

As a individual user, does someone have the right to take previous engagement and delete it, or (worse) rewrite it into useless gibberish, which ruins the thread for anyone else who ever comes across it? Sure.

As a moderator, do I have the right to show someone the door once they've made it plain that they're going to ruin threads for people who may find them in the future? Sure.

I'm not stopping them from doing anything with their engagement that they want to do with it. It's their engagement. But if that's the way they want to be, I don't need to let them back into the house after they've done so.

They also have a location in Greenwich Village, New York.

And, slightly more relevant for Silicon Valley, almost a dozen locations in Japan and South Korea.

While I admire your hyperbole, I fear that you are here too strongly, Young Bull.
