Favorite line from the article:
"In terms of those who retested positive, the official party line is that they have not been proven to be infectious. That is not the same as saying they are not infectious," one of the Wuhan doctors who tested positive twice told NPR [...] "If they really are not infectious," the doctor said, "then there would be no need to take them back to the hospitals again."
So why are the asymptomatic cases required to quarantine under medical observation for 14 days but not counted?
- ceejayoz 7y ago"Not proven to be infectious" and "proven to not be infectious" aren't the same thing. Quarantine/observation is warranted for the first.
- nico_h 7y agoWell if you know they are infected, and are worried they might be infectious, _why not count them_ after all they _are_ occupying a bed.
