> So the information doesn’t really matter.

It would matter to me. If I know I have it, I would stay at home and have somebody else do shopping and leave stuff in front of the door. If I dont know that, I do shopping by myself.

Having it or not is also difference between whether one can join one of those programs where young people shop for elderly and leave stuff in front of the door. Of course the caution must be taken with everyone, but also those with confirmed case are out.

It makes difference for people who still have to go to work.

Even official expectations on people with corronavirus are different then on others.



I tend to agree with you, I would like to know as well. But consider this: if it is cold or flu - would you want to risk your health being more prone to the infection while your immune system fights another virus, or bringing more people into the same situation in circumstances like these?


If it is cold of flu, when it passed, it passed. 7 days and you are fine. Corona is can get better and become worst and take weeks. So it is still a difference.


Is it a fact that corona in general takes long to get better from? Thats not what Ive heard/read. Unless you are unlucky and get pneumonia.
