"While the 21 day quarantine value currently used may have arose from reasonable interpretation of early outbreak data, this work suggests a reconsideration is in order and that 21 days may not be sufficiently protective to public health. . ."

“...and so, for the public good, we must postpone the midterm elections indefinitely.” There. Finished it.
I read that the latest is 42 days with 2% going beyond that. Better that we wait for the Center of Disease Redistribution to inform.

That study is from 2011!!
WHY THE HECK are they using 21-day quarantine?
Because it would inconvenience too many people and/or government officials.
This is the next phase in 0bama's implementation of the Cloward & Piven strategy. "Overwhelm the system, so you can replace it with your own."
obola would sit on a bus with them and kiss them on day 1, day 15 and day 21. What's more dangerous, Ebola or hussein kisses?
When I was searching for information on ebola, I noticed that one report recommended a 23 day quarantine period.
Generally, those immigrants who were approved spent from two to five hours at Ellis Island. Arrivals were asked 29 questions including name, occupation, and the amount of money carried. It was important to the American government that the new arrivals could support themselves and have money to get started. The average the government wanted the immigrants to have was between 18 and 25 dollars. Those with visible health problems or diseases were sent home or held in the island's hospital facilities for long periods of time.So, why aren't we doing this today?
because Obama is either a total idiot or trying to bring destruction upon the US.
The correct answer is yes ... to both questions !!
PING!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
