Yep, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if Patient A is infected on Day 1, then when he infects patient B on Day seven of his(A’s) illness, and then Patient B develops symptoms on Day 12 of his own exposure and infects Patient C who develops symptoms on Day 7 of his own exposure that it will just keep on like a chain of dominoes in so many different directions. Danger for many, many more days than just twenty one.
Why are those in power not smart enough to extrapolate this? Or are they, and maybe they want to toss the hoi polloi a bone just to make it look like they are making some effort to contain the spread of the disease.

They are smart enough IMO. They either don’t care or aren’t willing to expend any political capital to do anything.
They are lying. Pretty simple. And understandable. Otherwise, the guards would be shooting.
Your screen name made me remeber something that happened today. I was getting in my mandated swimming a mile this afternoon.
There was a skinny blind man at the pool with a girl who was also blind. He was teaching her how to swim in the pool, and count the laps and find the stairs etc.
Right as they finished and were getting ready to get out of the pool he coughed up a bunch of phlegm and spit it out onto the side of the pool where the suction takes it to the filtration system.
It made me want to vomit, and I really wanted to ask him if he had been traveling outside the country or around any one from Africa. The chlorine is pretty strong, so I am hoping that whatever he has was killed between the filter and the chlorine.
A lady was complaining about it, and said he had done it 15 times before I even came out and got in. So I figured, I was already exposed, and did my swim. Next time I go, I am going to complain to the management, but it unsupervised lap swim with no lifeguards, so he’d likely still do it anyway.
