Seems like a worse thing than quoting B posts, which can get you banned now.
I get this but we should really be advocating for fewer bans, not more
Bans should be an extreme measure reserved for continued threats, targeted harassment, or doxxing
So what should be done about personal attacks like that?

What an eye-opener.
I mean I know these people exist but it's just a phenomena to see it live and in action I guess

I dunno, was someone banned just now? It seems like nobody did anything except for Joe saying "hey, quit it," and the whole thing just dissipated

I'm guessing your family holidays are quite different than ours, then. It's like walking on the ceiling sometimes.

Ok, thanks knee and bi_3 . just trying to figure out whether my wife isolating her and the kids from me (because I'm still working and around people) is the right thing to do or not. Its driving me crazy.

True story, the only person I know that had it is a friend who tested negative, but swears it was a false negative.

It's probably overly cautious but it is killing healthy people and what counts as an underlying condition is pretty flexible.

Though it probably depends on what kind of work you're doing. If my wife was a nurse I'd probably stay in the basement.

It's unlikely to be a big problem for healthy people, but you should still be away from your family as much as possible, and handwashing should go to 11.
Did you say you're working? Stop that last week.
