I heard a news report a few days ago that police were searching for a young woman who posted a message either on FaceBook or some such site that (1) she had the virus, and (2) she was out to infect other people. The U.S. Attorney General notified all state and local police that anyone who does this sort of thing or something similar be arrested for "terroristic threats."
Today, I read that police found the young woman and arrested her. She can be released on a $20K bail bond with the proviso that she go into a 21 day isolation period following her release. I imagine this must be a felony. I hope she is found guilty. Any 18 year old that would threaten to do something like this, whether or not she has the capacity to carry out the threat, is a waiting-to-become 40 year old three time loser whom the tax payers will have to pay to keep incarcerated for years and years and years. Even if someone like this manages to stay out of prison for most of his/her life, you can bet your last dollar that the tax payers still will end up supporting her and her illegitimate offspring for most if not all of their lives.
Problems with people like this seem to be generational. I wish I knew the answer as to how society could stop this vicious cycle. I screened a compelling programme on PBS recently entitled "Broken Places." The programme focused on how some very young children who exposed to extreme stress are physically forever changed by it. It tracked some of these young people over 20+ years. None of us would be surprised to find out that it is a cycle that repeats over and over again. The experts interviewed on the programme claimed if society could intervene at the start of a child's life, the cycle could be broken, and the cost would be minimal compared to what they cost us later in terms of arrests and the justice system, out of wedlock births, loss to GDP, etc.
Is it just me, or does it virtually always seem to be some trashy, uneducated, uncultured, low-life waste-of-space that does things like this?
It just keeps getting crazier by the day.....

More than half a million confirmed cases in the U.S. now, and at least 20,389 deaths. Every state is listed as a disaster area now.
