Is this a HIPAA violation?
Here's the scenario.
Group Home setting. One of the clients contracts MRSA, the client is very physical and often touches people on a very regular basis. One of the staff from the Resident Group Home tell a friend who works at the same companies Group Home Day Program of the infection. The Friend has direct contact with the infected client at the Day Program. Is this a breach in HIPAA? Both people work for the same company, with the same client.
Is the company violating any laws by not informing it's employee's about a potential health risk.
Thank you.

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games9 years agoSell your sperm to a private party?
There's an ad in the paper looking for sperm for a lesbian couple. They are paying well and it will just be a job. They are not looking for a father nor child support. If I answer the ad what would I have to go through to ensure they don't try to get child support later in life? Would a simple signed agreement having me give up child rights and them child support be enough?

4 AnswersDancing9 years agoWhat is the Panthers' African Holocaust Monument for?
I was reading an article online and found a reference to that monument. I did a quick google search but ended up on a black supremacy website, talking alot of propaganda bs, but never anything on the actual monument. What it's for? Any history behind it?
My first thought was Jewish Black folk during WW2, but I didn't think there were many black jews in Germany-and I figured it's probably a bogus self pity statue-is it? This isn't a troll question.
2 AnswersOther - Education9 years agoDoes Math prove the existence of a God? Serious question.?
If you think of the Universe as being infinite, it would be safe to assume that somewhere out there a planet like earth exists. In fact an infinite amounts of planets like earth exist. And since infinity is a fun number to play with, let's say it's possible that their is another earth just like this one; down to every road, country and person. Because honestly in a Universe with infinite possibilities having a duplicate earth just comes down to a VERY VERY VERY small statistic.
Now in a universe that is infinite doesn't the existence of a god just become a statistical possibility? Not saying that any one religion is correct here, just asking a question. Because in a universe of infinite possibilities, somewhere out there an identical you and an identical me are eating at Burger King right now.
12 AnswersPhilosophy9 years agoI'm interested in buying a Mt/Trail bike anyone have any advice?
I'm starting to checkout various types of bicycle. I want something that I can go on dirt trails with as well as enjoy it on a paved bike path. I don't know anything about bikes. I am getting a bike rack for my car. I'm looking for good brands, buying advice, etc.
Bit of added info. The bike is going to be for a male. I am in good shape but I'm a BIG guy, standing at 6'5, and 230lbs. So smaller bikes won't work for me. I want to try to stay in the price range of about 200 or less. Thanks.

The article that I find the funniest gets the points.
