I wondered about that too. It's only a matter of time, one would think. A 21-day incubation period leaves too much room for error. Wish the TX health people quarantined the family "just in case."
Agree, I wish they had quarantined the family as well. Why didn’t they? My guesses are as follows:
1. to prevent panic in the U.S.
2. to protect the family from being ostracized...after all their names are now in the press
3. because they are functioning on the “hope” that the disease is not communicable when asymptomatic, this disturbs me in this context because while CDC seems certain it is the case, they are unable to explain how he contracted the disease in the first place.
