As a side note, I believe it's Bruce Schneier who came up with the term "security theater".

From https://www.acc.org/latest-in-cardiology/journal-scans/2020/05/11/15/18/the-incubation-period-of-coronavirus-disease https://www.acc.org/latest-in-cardiology/journal-scans/2020/...: > 97.5% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 will exhibit symptoms by 11.5 days. > Monitoring people exposed to SARS-CoV-2 for 14 days for development of symptoms should be sufficient to identify 99% of cases or more. As far as I can tell, a 7 or 10 day quarantine would not catch 99% of infections, and there's no evidence to suggest it would.
