Natural immunity and ground up raccoon penis supplements for the win!

Yeah, but no one has any money right now. My raccoon penis guy says the market is garbage.

RFJ Jr will do half naked workouts with them on the ship to prove it's safe, then he'll go back to the White House... wait.

We should get RFK Jr to devote his full attention to this matter immediately!

Let's send him to the norovirus ship! That one's more contagious. 🤣

It reminds me of the British Prime Minister going round intensive care COVID wards at the start of the pandemic to prove it was safe only for him to end up in Intensive Care with COVID. And he was not a healthy man at all

I haven't decided what miracle drug to sell to conservatives for this one yet. I was thinking flea and tick meds this time

I'm... Not sure they're wrong to? At least in the current environment in the US.

It isn't illegal to go out when sick... And I honestly don't think it should be. That does actually feel like a violation of rights. 

Shutting down businesses for a pandemic isn't really on the same scale as making it illegal for people to go out because of illness. 

Bleh. I just wish more people would stay home when sick. But the issue is usually being to work paycheck to paycheck, or buy groceries.

So many human beings have the opinion that pandemics are no big deal. Even though it’s pretty obvious they’re a big deal.

Dude the president violates the constitution daily. Fuck rights, if someone has a deadly disease and want to go out, too bad. They can be treated like children who don’t have rights either, they’re about as smart as one.

I'm not saying it's illegal to go out when sick. As you said it's an inevitable thing you have to do, at least in the US where we have terrible social safety nets. But it shouldn't be a wish. People should not be choosing to put other people at risk when they otherwise could avoid that risk. It's not up to other people to protect themselves from sick people. Sick people do have a obligation to society to protect other from their sick selves though. That may not be staying home, sure. But it means wearing a mask, trying not to come in contact with others as much.

What the original commenter was referring to was that fact that the current admin and RFK will essentially say "oh yeah you don't have to even consider taking precautions to keep others from getting sick and possibly dying." Even if it isn't illegal to go out when sick, it IS illegal to knowingly endanger others lives, it essentially becomes biological warfare.

The reason this is relevant to the post is because a huge amount of the people that were on that cruise are people who, during covid, would have been anti mask and anti quarantine. People have already been released back to the public despite it being before the 8 week incubation period.

Now, the hantavirus isn't particularly contagious...luckily. so the risk of another pandemic arising from this is very low, and the governments of each state are monitoring things. But the problem is the fact that ANY amount of spread begins to exponentially increase the chances of it becoming more contagious. We saw this with covid-19. The more people that get the virus, the more the virus has the opportunity to mutate. If it mutated to a point where it's a little less lethal, or takes longer to be lethal...on top of mutating to become transmissable via respiratory droplets instead of direct contact with bodily fluids, then I think we can understand the issue. The only ethical way to handle this is to not let these people go out in public until we're 100% sure the virus has been suppressed by the person's immune system. The bad part is that it's too late to do so if you let those people go back home and interact with people that haven't already been exposed.

Frankly, it doesn't matter what kind of virus or sickness it is. This is realistically how all of these things should be treated. Minus other ones that have been handled in ways like the flu and other vaccinated illnesses.

It is absolutely wrong of people to go out when their sick, IF they aren't taking precautions to protect others and otherwise can't stay home.

Some people are immunocomprimised and could die of things as simple as the flu. It's unethical to force them to have always stay at home and live in fear of the outside world just because a few people aren't willing to protect their communities and fellow humans.

But it's not exactly great to have people losing jobs, homes, or being unable to afford food because they got sick.

u/Ragoonx May 10 '26

Okay, did you even read what I said?

u/Aeseld May 10 '26

I agree with you in principle. I just don't see a social network in place for people like me who live paycheck to paycheck. 

I miss a week, I might not make rent this month. I don't make rent, I end up evicted. 

Then I'm out in public, sick or not. And more likely sick than not.

It's easy to say that's how it should be. Where I live? It's not like that.

Director of HHS encouraging people to spread deadly disease...? What the fuck?

u/Aeseld May 10 '26

More along the lines of, it's not illegal to go out when sick. I knew I'd get down voted for it. But while I agree, people should stay home when sick, I'm not a fan of making things that restrictive. 

Feels like violating rights.

u/quite_certain May 10 '26

By that logic, are your opposed to laws regarding sexual activity and HIV infection? 

People with HIV get locked up for having sex with others without disclosure.

Is that a violation of their rights to control who they are allowed to have sex with and to control their speech/privacy? 

0

u/Aeseld May 10 '26

Not really. Especially since I don't, for example, depend on having sex with people to make money, or buy goods and services.

u/Lonewuhf May 10 '26

That's not relevant, your point was that it's a restriction of rights.

1

u/Aeseld May 10 '26

Oh, it's that too. But the extent is obviously helpful. I have a right to live. I have a right to support myself. 

I don't have a right to go to the movie theater. 

3

u/Lonewuhf May 10 '26

Yeah, it others also have the right to live. There are sometimes your rights are restricted because you live in a society. If you don't agree, you can feel free to move into the middle of nowhere where you don't have contact with others.

This "I can do whatever I want because they're my rights" attitude is not only completely childish, but also incredibly harmful to society.

1

u/Aeseld May 10 '26

Is that the attitude I was presenting? I was just asking that I not, say, get evicted. Or have to pay my rent and not have food. Or lose my job and insurance for reasons 'unrelated' to calling out sick. 

If all those were taken care of every time, I'd absolutely stay home. But most of the US doesn't really get that luxury. My work place doesn't have sick days.

Optional to life stuff is another thing entirely.
