They discussed that the quarantine should be changed to 24 days (from 14) more than a week ago. Why is it still only 14? They suggested that 24 or 30 days could lead to reexposure. What did they learn that they decided to stay with the number 14? And why are they getting back on the same buses that brought the new bunch who is to be quarantined? Obviously better than an overlap with the second group, but to send them off and out into the general public seems reckless. Even those who feel "fantastic" could be carrying the virus, although not showing signs. Seems counterintuitive as they just studied reexposure and its effects.

@andrewpaino1934 You can if that is what is ordered by the WHO and the quarantine act. The question is why is it 14 days and not 24 days as suggested last week? (And yes, 30 days is random and excessive. But may lead to recontamination) Although I prefer people think that way, than run off to go skiing or go to church as the superspreaders did!

@johnwang9914 No, the WHO did not change it officially to 24 days, however back in news reports dated Feb. 10th and 11th, China was researching and suggesting that 14 days was not enough and was talking about changing it to 24 days. Wile Russia was discussing a 30 day quarantine period. The WHO felt that it would then lead to reexposure, which seems to be why all of the quarantines stayed at 14 days. I have done way more research on this than I would like to, however I don't have a choice, so thank you for your reply as I not only answered my own question, but it reminds me that there are certain stories and timelines that need to be revisited in order to get a better understanding of how each country is handling the situation.

@johnwang9914 I am just quoting the dates on the published stories I read or watched. Again, I don't want to be spending hours each day researching this. Unfortunately I am required to. But again, thank you for pointing out that I misspoke in my original post--I went back and edited 2 of them. Not that anyone should believe or go by what they read in the comments section of YouTube, I don't want to be someone who triggers panic in anyone. It is hard enough to decipher the truth about the news that is coming out of China. I did find the news clip from North Korea entertaining though...

@pip7557 The issue is that there is a fundamental problem with people who think as you do. Quarantine procedures MUST be followed and should not be isolated as people cannot be trusted to self isolate. IF 48 days, for example, were the number (it is not as it can lead to reexposure and/or recontamination), then that is the number. It is not inhumane. It is for everyone's protection. Cutting the quarantine short and not having a family to go home to would be inhumane (and selfish) to the family. And society in general.
