I will here simply point you to the countries which have had great success combating this epidemic, such as Singapore and Taiwan. They exercise strict quarantine of infected (note, not uninfected) individuals plus contact tracing.
- wool_gather 7y agoYes, and contact tracing involves testing people regardless of whether they have symptoms, and quarantining them if they test positive.
- ahelwer 7y agoYes, infected individuals are infected individuals. We are talking about asymptomatic spread. It can be difficult to tell whether you have symptoms or it's just a particularly bad pollen day. For this reason quarantining known-infected individuals is a good idea, rather than having them mill around until the very second they get a sore throat.
- wool_gather 7y agoOkay, I think we're agreeing...otherwise I really don't understand what your position is about asymptomatic people.
