re: #65 ausador

What else was he supposed to do, go into a detention center or something? Exactly what is your objection to self-monitoring and isolation as long as the person reports any early symptoms?

Keep in mind that they are not contagious until they are symptomatic.

No, not a detention center at all; however, he has a live-in girlfriend who, if he does have the disease, could possibly contract it herself, along with any others he may have had any close contact with socially or professionally.

I just don’t think this is a disease you can be cavalier about. OTOH, I hope it’s something he actually doesn’t have.
