Question: Paragraph: "Even in a city repeatedly scarred by senseless fatal shootings -- a 10-year-old girl caught in the crossfire at a playground, a toddler struck by a bullet aimed at the wrong house -- this case stood out: A man driving his van in Milwaukee late on a Sunday afternoon struck and killed a 2-year-old boy who had darted into the street. He jumped out of the vehicle immediately and was grieving as he stood over the body. Moments later, a gunman, apparently enraged about the accident, shot the 40-year-old driver to death. But he also fatally wounded a 15-year-old, the toddler’s brother, who had rushed to the scene. Reacting to the incident, Mayor Tom Barrett linked increases in fatal and non-fatal shootings in Milwaukee with gun laws. In turn, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. criticized the mayor, saying Barrett was blaming concealed carry permit holders for more guns being on the street. Then, Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn, while speaking to reporters on April 14, 2015, two days after the accident and double-shooting, responded to the sheriff. ""We're the only place I know,"" Flynn said, referring to Wisconsin, ""where it's a misdemeanor to carry a gun illegally, but a felony for a second rap for carrying pot. Would you tell me how that makes sense? ""Second arrest for carrying pot is a felony. Second, third, fourth, 10th arrest for carrying a gun illegally is a misdemeanor. Is it any wonder these knuckleheads out there with guns aren't learning a lesson from getting locked up by us? ""​ Is Flynn right about the Wisconsin laws? Except for some clarification, yes. Marijuana Carrying marijuana -- for a second offense and subsequent offenses -- is, in fact, a felony crime. But that doesn't necessarily mean a felony charge will be filed. Prosecutors generally have discretion in charging. So, while someone with a clean criminal record who is caught a second time carrying a marijuana joint technically has committed a felony offense, a prosecutor might decide to only issue a ticket. It’s also worth noting that carrying marijuana can be a felony on a first offense -- if you’re carrying with the intent to deliver, for instance. (Coincidentally, the day before Flynn made his claim, state Rep. Melissa Sargent, D-Madison, announced she would introduce a bill to legalize marijuana in Wisconsin. With Republicans controlling both houses of the Legislature, the measure has virtually no chance of passing.) Guns Wisconsin legalized the concealed carry of guns and other weapons in 2011. Carrying a concealed gun without a state-issued concealed carry license is a misdemeanor, for the first offense and for any subsequent offenses. It’s worth noting that someone convicted of any misdemeanor on three separate occasions within five years can be sentenced to more time behind bars. So, someone convicted of carrying a concealed gun illegally could be punished more if they are also convicted of two other misdemeanors, whether gun-related or not, within five years. In addition, for certain people, carrying a gun is a felony on the first offense. That includes convicted felons and people who are subject to an injunction such as a domestic violence restraining order. Our rating Flynn said that in Wisconsin, a ""second arrest for carrying pot is a felony,"" but a second or subsequent arrest ""for carrying a gun illegally is a misdemeanor."" A second arrest for carrying marijuana is classified as a felony offense, although depending on the circumstances, only a ticket might be issued. And generally a first or subsequent offense for carrying a gun illegally is a misdemeanor -- although for some people, such as convicted felons, a first offense is a felony.

Question: Paragraph: A nurse extracts a vaccine in a file photo. Federal health officials said on Thursday the government has not conceded that vaccines cause autism even after a Georgia girl won federal compensation in a case arguing a vaccine led to her brain damage. REUTERS/Phil Klein  Hannah Poling, 9, had a rare mitochondrial disorder and a  federal court ruling said regular childhood vaccinations may  have contributed to some of her autism-like symptoms. She was  awarded compensation under the National Vaccine Injury  Compensation Program in a case that became public this week. Some activists who argue vaccines can trigger autism jumped  on the case as vindication of their cause. But Dr. Julie  Gerberding, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control  and Prevention, denied this. “Let me be very clear that (the) government has made  absolutely no statement about indicating that vaccines are a  cause of autism,” Gerberding told reporters in a telephone  briefing. “That is a complete mischaracterization of the findings of  the case, and a complete mischaracterization of any of the  science that we have at our disposal today. So I think we need  to set the record straight on that.”    The vaccine injury program is a no-fault system that has a  $2.5 billion fund built up from a 75-cent-per-dose tax on  vaccines. It was set up to ensure companies would not be afraid  to make vaccines, and to provide injured children an easier way  to seek compensation. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed by parents who argue  their children have autism caused by vaccines. The Institute of Medicine, an independent organization set  up to inform U.S. policy, has found there is no evidence that  vaccines can cause autism. Many recent studies have come to the  same conclusion. Some autism advocacy groups argue that a mercury-containing  preservative in vaccines called thimerosal can cause autism. Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain entered  the debate last week, saying there is “strong evidence” linking  autism to a thimerosal. Dr. Edwin Trevathan, director of the CDC’s National Center  on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, said the  Poling case did not demonstrate any link between vaccines and  autism. “I think it’s also worth noting that most children with  autism do not seem to have a mitochondrial problem,” he told  the briefing. “So this association between mitochondrial disorders and  autism is actually probably relatively rare. But the  association between mitochondrial disorders and severe brain  damage and dysfunction is one that is not as rare and is  actually quite important.”    Trevathan said it is not clear whether a fever caused by a  vaccine might further stress a child with such a condition,  causing autism-like symptoms. Autism can have relatively mild symptoms or can severely  disable a child by interfering with speech and behavior. No one  knows what causes it. The CDC estimates that about one in every 150 children has  autism or a related disorder such as Asperger’s syndrome —  560,000 people up to age 21 in the United States. “Our message to parents is that immunization is  life-saving. There’s absolutely nothing changed in the adamant  recommendations that we are making to get children vaccinated,”  Gerberding said. Claim: Still no autism-vaccine link, say health officials.

Answer: Federal health officials said on  Thursday the government has not conceded that vaccines cause  autism even after a Georgia girl won federal compensation in a  case arguing a vaccine led to her brain damage.


Question: Paragraph: During the COVID-19 coronavirus disease pandemic of 2020, many Americans first became acquainted with the phrase “social distancing,” a term referring to the practice of people avoiding gathering in groups and maintaining physical space between themselves in public settings (in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19). The words “isolation” and “quarantine” also saw an increase in usage during the pandemic, but although they are often used synonymously, they have distinctly different meanings, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explained on its website: Isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick. Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick. Thus, persons who have contracted COVID-19 and are staying at home in order to avoid spreading the illness to others are properly said to be self-isolating rather than self-quarantining. Nonetheless, the common use of “quarantine” during the pandemic got some people wondering where that word came from, a question one meme attempted to answer:  The explanation offered in this meme is largely correct, although in its brevity it omits some of the more interesting etymological background. The roots of “quarantine” lay in the multiple outbreaks of bubonic plague (popularly known as the “Black Death“) that hit Europe beginning in 1347 and killed an estimated one-third of the population. According to a 2002 article published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, city officials around the Mediterranean seaport of Ragusa mandated in 1377 that persons who sought to enter the city after traveling from plague areas must first remain in isolation for a 30-day period known as a “trentino” (from the Italian word “trenta,” meaning “thirty”): Claim: "The word ""quarantine"" stems from the Italian word for ""forty,"" representing the number of days persons potentially exposed to communicable diseases had to remain in isolation."

Answer:
Beginning in middle of the 14th century, repeated waves of plague swept across Europe. After arriving in southern Europe in 1347, plague spread rapidly, reaching England, Germany, and Russia by 1350. During this time, it is estimated that one-third of Europe’s population died. The profound impact of the epidemic led to the institution of extreme infection-control measures. For example, in 1374, Viscount Bernabo of Reggio, Italy, declared that every person with plague be taken out of the city into the fields, there to die or to recover.
