Peter, given the current state of knowledge, how do you differentiate between whether a positively tested person is contagious or not? It is better as a precautionary measure, all those who test positive are first put in quarantine. One knows someone is positive but one does not know the viral load. Furthermore, the example from South Dakota shows that one cannot rely on C19 positives not being contagious. The large numbers of infected people speak a different language than the scientific qualitative approach. Of course, you can now reply that the 240,000 people who tested positive will not infect others...
I also believe that governments will change their measures if the leading virologists give a slight all-clear. And as I said, perhaps it now indicates that the virus will lose its lethality. So if we are a bit patient, it could be better in spring.
