I disagree. A quarantine gives time (15 days) for those who got infected just before the quarantine to fall out and self-identify - they get sick.
Laying siege to a virus is the only thing that works when a virus is out of control. Laying siege by quarantine. Which should have happened for HIV, but didn’t, and now there are 30 million HIV active cases in the world today, China being the largest concentration, and no end in sight. I left public nursing over HIV, when the emphasis was put on PC-guilting medical pros instead of quarantining gays, and never looked back. I’m still very much at peace with the decision to go private care, far far away from PC hospital politics and wacko activists in management. Who, like yourself, believed in letting HIV run it’s course and everybody would get herd immunity. Well, they did, and it didn’t. Just like H1N1. Quarantine is effective and proven. Herd immunity is wishful thinking more often than not.
It is way different to tell someone not to have unsafe sex versus telling someone to stay home for an indefinite period of time and they will lose their jobs and savings.
If people cannot even put on a condom, do you think they will quarantine themselves for months?
It is not going to work. People will disobey and the virus will still run its course.
