I don’t know that we are ever going to know exactly the nature of the contacts they had, whether they are cleared after quarantine or not, but one thing that I have been thinking is that surely the fiancé had sex with the deceased upon his arrival here, and before he became ill. We have been told about the continued viability of the virus in semen afterwards, but I doubt anyone knows about initial point of transferability prior to or upon showing symptoms.

Being symptomatic is regarded as virtually synonymous with being infectious, so if he was asymptomatic then likelihood of infecting others was low to nonexistent. We’ll see about the accuracy of that assumption, time will tell.

I read that she “slept in the same bed” and that might be enough for infection once his pores start to ooze the virus. My guess is she would be the mostly likely, then one of her daughter’s kids (toddlers).

Louise claims they weren’t, in so many words, intimate in any way, shape or form. That he slept in an other room and just listed a bridge for sale.
