We had a confirmed positive Covid-19 last week on Wednesday. The person was quarantined and everyone that she was in contact with was isolated. All those not infected are back to work today. The incubation period can be up to 14 days therefore the reason people are suppose to isolate for that same time frame.
There are several of us that are very bothered by this and have reported it up the chain to see what the resolution is because this goes against the policies and procedures set forth by the University. |

This. That’s what most businesses are using since that’s what CDC considers close contact. It seems pretty arbitrary to me though.

The only difference I see is that your chances of contracting the virus grow the longer you are in contact with someone, doesn't really mean you cant contract the virus if you just had a brief encounter with them. |

***Data are insufficient to precisely define the duration of time that constitutes a prolonged exposure. Recommendations vary on the length of time of exposure, but 15 minutes of close exposure can be used as an operational definition. Brief interactions are less likely to result in transmission; however, symptoms and the type of interaction (e.g., did the infected person cough directly into the face of the exposed individual) remain important. |

If cases start spiking and leading to deaths in these other countries that had it under control, sadly, I think Sweden will start looking better and better off

Forecasting for COVID-19 has failed
John P.A. Ioannidis (1), Sally Cripps (2), Martin A. Tanner (3) ABSTRACT Epidemic forecasting has a dubious track-record, and its failures became more prominent with COVID-19. Poor data input, wrong modeling assumptions, high sensitivity of estimates, lack of incorporation of epidemiological features, poor past evidence on effects of available interventions, lack of transparency, errors, lack of determinacy, looking at only one or a few dimensions of the problem at hand, lack of expertise in crucial disciplines, groupthink and bandwagon effects and selective reporting are some of the causes of these failures. The four garden variety coronaviruses may be causing such outbreaks every year. 20,21 One of them, OC43 seems to have been introduced in humans as recently as 1890, probably causing a “bad influenza year” with over a million deaths. 22 Based on what we know now, SARS-CoV-2 may be closer to OC43 than SARS-CoV-1. This does not mean it is not serious: its initial human introduction can be highly lethal, unless we protect those at risk. https://forecasters.org/wp-content/u...25062020-1.pdf |
