School canceled, health officials issue stern warning to Missouri family that broke coronavirus quarantine

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/school-cancelled-health-officials-issue-stern-warning-missouri/story?id=69484627

A family in Missouri broke health officials' self-quarantine instructions after two family members left their home despite a positive test for the novel coronavirus.

St. Louis County executive Dr. Sam Page revealed in a press conference that the family of an unidentified patient who recently tested presumptive positive for COVID-19 violated the county Health Department's instructions to isolate themselves at home.

According to Page, a woman called their coronavirus hotline on Thursday experiencing symptoms and has since tested positive for coronavirus.

Instead of heeding the health officials' guidance, the patient's father, according to Page, took his other daughter to a school function Saturday evening.


Really was it that important?

it isn't probably infected many more as a result of the family's selfishness.
now it's mandatory quarantine or they'll get jail time.

Hopefully the locals treat them like the dumb pieces of shit they are for as long as it takes for them to pack up and move because everyone hates them.

It says he took his daughter to a school function so I suspect this was a father trying to prevent his kid from being disappointed at having to miss something, but very irresponsible nonetheless

Hmm... Stay quarantined at home to prevent the spread of the disease, or ignore the quarantine to put countless lives at risk of illness and death? What a tough moral dilemma.

That part of Saint Louis is overwhelmingly white, wealthy, and conservative. This behavior is the exact sort of stereotype that Saint Louisans have of people from that area.

I don't understand the need for quarantines. By the time people have symptoms, they've already infected potentially hundreds of people.

To prevent another hundreds of people from getting infected.

Again, that person has already infected potentially hundreds of people. Each one of those people infects potentially hundreds of people. Having the original carrier in quarantine makes no sense when it has already spread that far.

There is a good chance that there are many thousands of carriers right now who do not know they are infecting people. Putting them in quarantine afterward doesn't make much sense - it only builds to the panic and hurts the economy substantially.

Given the nature of the virus, most people WILL EVENTUALLY get ill from it. The best we can do is isolate those who are more vulnerable to fatality (elders, people without good immune systems, etc) from the virus and keep life going as best as we can.

It is a flu - a very bad one though. Higher fatality rate and higher infection rate. That is why it is such a huge deal.

What part of stopping even more people from getting infected is so hard to understand?

The part where it would be such a minimal impact to the infection spread. Yes, one person may not get infected by this individual, but chances are they will get infected by someone else who interacted with the original individual.

So no one should wash their hands. Or cover their mouth, or anything cause people are already infecting people as well huh.
