We use WHO guidelines here, putting the passengers who were brought home in at least 42 days of quarantine. The US, though, now that is a different thing. Maybe they'll try injecting bleach, like "the greatest mind ever" suggested...

By the way, our media definitely do inform people that this is a human-to-human transferable virus. Although this was already clear when they mentioned the Andes strain a few days ago.

    The NEJM article says a possible 8 weeks transmissibility (in some cases).
    So even 42 days isn't enough.
    And many people couldn't even follow their short Covid quarantine at home.
    I don't believe they can all handle 6 weeks, and certainly not in a safe way if they are made to believe it's not easily transmitted.
    Their relatives will get it.
    Totally inadequate measures and wildly irresponsible for a virus with a 2.19R factor and 35-50% mortality.
