Infectious Disease - When you self-isolate at home, chances are that it is inadequate to prevent airborne covid spread.

metmom:" We’ve known this from the very start."
I remember very early on reading an article the cuomo was shocked to learn
that most Covid cases occurred in those who were most diligently self-isolating."
"The story very quickly disappeared down memory hole."

From the article):"Researchers have detected tiny airborne particles containing RNA from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19,
both inside and outside of rooms in which infected people were self-isolating at home.
This finding suggests that airborne transmission beyond the isolation rooms in homes may pose a risk of infection to other home occupants.
“We discovered that many did not strictly adhere to self-isolation, with eight of the 11 infected study participants reporting spending
from a few hours to 14 hours in the common room and five of 11 participants reporting spending time in other areas of the home,” Kipen said. "
“Our indoor air sampling data clearly demonstrated that measurable airborne SARS-CoV2 RNA was present in the air in the homes of most infected people,
not only in the isolation room, but, importantly, elsewhere in the home,” Kipen said. "

There were some articles very early on about how someone sick with Covid should self isolate at home.

It was beyond ridiculous. NO contact. Wipe down everything every time you touched it.

Put food on disposable containers and essentially have the person drop the garbage out the bedroom window to avoid being any trace of the plague, er, ah virus back into the house. And on and on.

Hospitals don’t even have those kind of infection control measures they were telling people to use.

So - according to this research the only way to stop the spread is to send the sick off to camps where they are isolated by 100’ in single open-air cages. Some will think that is a great idea. And toss the unvaccinated in there as well just to be safe.
