I wonder where they will make that?

In Reno County it appears some dumbass who was supposed to be self-quarantining didn't and is responsible for spreading it to four other people, possibly more, with additional test results pending.

I could fix that real quick.....just take them to jail and hold him in the infirmary until they have no more symptoms, or if they aren't too sick, just put them in solitary.

No

No

States, most likely, have the right to do that. I'm not saying it should happen, but police powers, especially in the face of a public health crisis, are left to the states.

Yep. I understand they could. Typhoid Mary is a great example of proper use of such an authority.

This person in Reno is an ass. Somewhere above voluntary quarantine, but less than prison is probably the correct response.

He should be restricted to the KU campus. After all they are the only university in the state with a medical program -- I distinctly remember them making that case in the not so distant past.

I meant county jail, not a prison. Charge them with a misdemeanor and force them to bail themselves out. NO personal recognizance bonds.

Seriously, if you had a loved one that was at risk and some goofball knowingly gave them a potentially fatal disease, how would you feel? People in this country seem to get confused about the concept of freedom and how it relates to personal responsibility. It's great to have freedom, but it's useless unless we, as a society, exercise personal responsibility as well. Freedom without personal responsibility is anarchy.

Personal Responsibility. From other opinions you've stated, I wouldn't think you would believe in that. We Agree on something. :)

I totally agree with the freedom/responsibility dichotomy. Because someone is a dangerous asshole does not necessitate jail time. As a worst case measure, house arrest should be sufficient.

What amount of the variability of increased cases is explained by increased testing, if you don't mind me asking? (Asking for R-Squared)

BTW -- You asked a very interesting question that I didn't think of when looking at this data.

Today's additional data points jumped R² over .70 at 0.70258.

Has anybody on here ever seen real (non-academic) data sets have that high of an R²?! I haven't. There are almost always too many variables to get two separate data sets to yield that type of determinant. That's eye popping.

So, I like to drive fast cars. Does that mean that if I drove recklessly and killed someone while showing off, that would just make me a dangerous asshole who did not deserve jail time? Just asking how far we go with that label.

Given your example, it would make you more than just a dangerous asshole.
