If I’m not ill after two weeks of quarantine, why should I stay in quarantine?

If it takes up to two weeks to show symptoms for coronavirus, why does everyone else have to suffer by staying in quarantine if they’re not ill. If, after 2 weeks of quarantine, you show symptoms of coronavirus, STAY HOME. If not, you hould be able to go out like normal right?

I just cant stay like this for months, i’m losing my mind

    Like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson said all this virus nonsense is just a Liberal hoax to try and make Trump look bad.  But it has backfired and Trump’s numbers are through the roof.  Watch Fox News if you want the truth about this hoax.

    'Patient one' in northern Italy was walking about infected and shedding virus for more than two weeks without knowing he was infected. It was only when he finally developed severe symptoms and went to hospital that he was tested and found to be infected. Tests to show if somebody has HAD the virus and recovered aren't yet widely available.

    What a whiny baby! The reason for staying in is because you could get it and spread it to a dozen other people making it worse. There are people that are carriers that have no symptoms and they can harm dozens of people by being out and about. We need to stop the virus from traveling and the only way is for everyone to stay in and stop the spread.

    In South Korea only people that TEST NEGATIVE are allowed outside. There, people you might meet up with outside cannot infect you. But, the USA and other countries do not have rigorous testing so you might go out and meet up with someone who does have the virus, and passes it to you. Then, its incubating, and before you get any symptoms you can pass it to others and they infect others. If everyone is out and about the disease is wild and many need hospitalization and many die.

    The problem if you are out is nobody knows who is outside and infected.

    Some places are on lock down, and others just social isolate.

    A Harris Poll survey showed almost everyone knows what to be doing, and many people are not doing it.

    because they are guidelines  not a 100% fact.........and this is not a scenario,  where gambling with predictions...has no risk and no ptential consequence.....we all have a responsibility to everyone else, starting with not trying to second guess the effects and nature  of a virus which still has plenty of secrets about it..

    You may not have the virus now but if you go out and carry on as normal you may still catch and spread the virus.

    You can be 100% asymptomatic and still be a carrier and spread the virus. Stay home. If you do go out, make sure you do NOT interact with anyone, keeping a good 2 meters (6 ft.) away from them. Patience. 🙂
