SFist Blotter

Uh oh! Did you stop by the Jamba Juice on Lincoln Avenue in Willow Glen in San Jose any time during the first two weeks of August? An employee may have given you hepatitis A. Turns out one of the food handlers didn't realize she was sick and she might have given it to you if she didn't wash her hands properly. If you were at the JJ from August 9-16, get a shot. If you were there from August 1-8, watch for symptoms (diarrhea, fatigue, jaundice), because the shot won't work for you anymore. Jamba Juice says that the store has been thoroughly cleaned, no one has come down with symptoms, the chances of getting the disease are small, and if you do come down with hep A, they'll reimburse you. Hep A is fairly rare in San Jose -- there were only 25 cases last year and for this year, only 6.

Samson Wong, the editor of Asianweek, reports that a local Asian media group has rejected an apology from the San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation for screening Sixteen Candles in Dolores Park a few weeks ago, because of its negative portrayal of Asian-Americans. Wait, wasn't Samson Wong the person saying just a few months ago that people should be allowed to express whatever race-based beliefs they had and he didn't have a problem with that?

And sorry we forgot to get to this yesterday -- Rachel Gordon at the Chron reported that we're at an all-time high of 34 deaths on San Francisco traffic-related accidents this year, with three deaths just last week (one at Park Presidio and Balboa, one in the Castro, and one in SoMa near the Embarcadero). And your most dangerous intersections: Oak and Octavia, Gough and Market, Park Presidio and Fulton, 19th and Sloat, and Broadway and Van Ness. Step lively, folks.
