Quite true, which is why quarantine policies tend to be a mix of science and other factors. Was disappointed to read in this article (if true) that Dr Spencer in NYC "lied" about being self-quarantined at home instead of riding the subway, going bowling, etc. (I'd like to hear his side of the story, though, since this is the NY Post reporting)

According to the MSF protocol he was following, it was permissible for him to be out and about before he became symptomatic because he would not be contagious, so it wasn't purely a medical reason for not being honest up front about his movements, if he indeed tried to cover that up. Perhaps the backlash against Dr Nancy Snyderman weighed on his mind.

I read that the folks in Maine are freaking out about nurse Hickox returning there even though she's without any symptoms and already tested negative twice. I still need to read up on the legal aspects of her situation with the Maine authorities. Only scanned some headlines earlier.
