No, hold on. In many many instances, health officials have already sent people who *may* have been exposed home to their families for voluntary quarantine. In fact, they have already sent people with fevers home, even when there are others at home.
In this case, however, they've imposed a much more draconian rule, one that I believe--and I think most medical experts would believe--is unnecessary.
And regarding the 10 day thing, every report I've read says that symptoms will show up somewhere between 2 and 10 days.
If we adopt the kind of measures taken by the Taiwan government, pretty soon we'll simply be quarantining everyone--except for political leaders, I suspect.

It seems the nurses are being abused with this quarantine policy. And with no beds or food.....they may get sick even if they do not have SARS!
Thanks for the update.
BTW I checked out your website.....you have a beautiful family! Still keeping you all in my prayers.
