The good news is that my father remains only mildly symptomatic for covid19. The bad news is that the rehab center is planning to send him home on Thursday without retesting, so we'll have no idea if he's still infectious.

Epidemiology tweeps (I know I have a few) PLEASE send me the best research on how to figure out whether he's still contagious without a retest. He lives in an open floor plan home and isolating him will be ... challenging.

Plastic sheeting, duct tape, and furring strips tacked to ceiling, walls will also work. Faster & cheaper, a bit more cleanup. Can weight the bottom seam with carpet, towels, books, etc. to avoid tacking the floor. Depends on your expense/house-proud preference tradeoffs.

really not much cheaper - I don't think
@asymmetricinfo wants to save $100 at the cost of having sketchy duct tape pulling paint off the ceiling, peeling away from walls, creating tripping hazard with ghetto stacks of books1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I'd drill-tack the strips to the ceiling to hold the plastic, myself. (enclosed a porch for years like this) And I don't disagree with your assessment of McMegan's priorities. But some readers might need something cheaper right now.
