So, I just saw two kids and a mother. All severe cough and fever. Mild. S.O.B. All within close contact five days ago with a person who tested positive for Covid-19 virus.
Put them on codeine and isolated them at home. I have 65 test kits, but I am not allowed to test them per CDC regulations in Maine. If they were in jail I could.
So, per CDC, it doesn't change their management. But, if they test positive, it is recommended by most health organizations such as WHO to break the chain by going back 14 days from the start of symptoms and find everyone who came in contact with them and test them. So, say it is 8 people. They are tested. Two come back positive. 14 days back for them. Test them.
As it is, people are still allowed to go out for essential services. Maybe one is 19. Maybe she goes to the grocery store, which she would not be allowed to do if she were positive. U.S. is screwed up.
