It’s been said recently to not get tested within 4 days of exposure as it can produce a false negative. Under that scenario, some guidance would be quarantine until 5 days after presumed exposure (or if she gets symptoms), get a test, and continue to quarantine until she gets her results.

How about this: an ER or ICU doctor is much more likely to be a Republican than a poster in this thread. I might trust a Republican doctor to do day-to-day treatments, but I wouldn’t trust them to see the big picture when looking at the same information filtered through a partisan lens.
If you knew a doctor was a Fox News viewer, would you instantly have doubts about his views? Would you suspect that such a person might be biased toward minimizing the extent of the spread and effects?
You gotta wait 5-6 days after exposure
4 days after exposure has 40% false negative rate and sooner is even worse.

Would the guy really go to jail though? I feel like having coffee thrown in your face is reasonable cause to defend yourself and kick someones ass.
It’s a shame to see people in masks acting like complete pieces of shit. One on hand the people not wearing masks are killing people, on the other hand throwing coffee in their face isn’t going to fucking change them and is completely unacceptable.
Coffee throwers are extremely lucky maskless dude was cool. He didn’t hit the woman back at all and was just defending himself.

I’m pretty sure it’s assault to hit someone for revenge, but maybe not something that would be prosecuted. And, it’s honorable of the guy to hit the coffee thrower’s boyfriend and not to hit a woman. But, I really don’t think you get a free pass to hit the boyfriend of someone who throws coffee on you. The guy that got punched didn’t really do anything other than argue and be with a woman who throws coffee on people.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Except COVID, that shit will go home with you.

My other reaction to that thread was not fit for the Internet.
Yeah, that was the tough part of it for me.
Karen throws coffee at me. Victim starts beating Karen’s boyfriend.
Maybe we should get @skydiver8 or another female poster to weigh in on the whole “it’s honorable to hit the coffee thrower’s boyfriend and not hit a woman”, as it does seem a bit patriarchal.
If she is gonna throw the coffee, I think she fair game for at least a couple of blows. At least I think that is the legally correct position. Like the victim, I don’t think I could do it because of my natural “don’t hit a woman” reflex. Also, if one chooses to view it in purely pragmatic terms, it’s -EV.
I can’t imagine someone prosecuting this dude for bloodying up the boyfriend by saying “Well, his girlfriend threw the coffee, so if he punched her that would have been totally understandable, but instead he punched the innocent boyfriend instead”.
I thought the boyfriend also threw coffee.
Obviously it is.

Yes, that’s clear. My implication is that patriarchal is bad.
Yeah, I got that from your reply. And if he did, well, you probably can’t punch for revenge, but fuck that. I wouldn’t vote guilty on that jury. But, I think his gf got him into a fight he didn’t want.
Maybe we need to get a lawbro to weigh in too. I think if the boyfriend throws the coffee and he punches the boyfriend, he is just reacting to the assault.
It would be nice if had a cup of coffee handy to respond in kind, but I think a punch is within the realm of reasonable response, whereas, shooting him with his concealed weapon would not be.
Yeah, I reckon. I guess you could just say that you shouldn’t hit anyone who is not even in your league and that 180lb person should not be hitting that 110lb person whose only way of fighting is tearing a shirt. I’m old though, gonna take some work to get me off of “you don’t hit a woman”.
I’m pretty sure in most states you’re not allowed to assault someone because they assaulted you. If it’s ongoing you can defend yourself by assaulting them, and the degree to which it’s ongoing determines the degree to which you’re allowed to respond.
IANAL but I don’t think you get a payback punch if someone throws coffee on you. Like if someone sucker punches you and runs, I don’t think you’re allowed to chase them and hit them.
As for the jury verdict, well, I’m guessing YMMV.
I think the issue is whether or not the person continues to be a credible/imminent threat. Both the coffee thrower and the bf were trying to leave the scene at the time.
