This ''quarantine'' nonsensical policy is as ''rational'' as mandating people not drag their possibly wet feet in the yard.

...while the yard is covered by an inch of water because it's raining ( this cold virus is in widespread circulation everywhere ).

They still treat it like ''close-contact-borne'' Ebolavirus. Depending on if they think the person they preach to is aware or not, they will speak as if it's mostly airborne, or ( lie ) and speak as if it's mostly surface and spit-borne.
