I do wish the CDC will shorten quarantine time (exposed, but test negative) and lengthen isolation time (infected).
The other big surprise to me was that only 2 of 18 that got infected were asymptomatic. It does mean 11% of those infected might not realize they are contagious to others, and could spread the virus.
I guess one other thing is not just that they were shedding virus, but were they shedding it in ways that could get others sick? Someone with the symptom of a cough seems much more likely to infect others than an asymptomatic case with the same viral shedding but no cough.
