I've seen many stories/tweets about two hairstylists who exposed 140 people by working for *eight days* while symptomatic. One, this shouldn't happen. Two, where's the follow up? Is anyone actually infected? If not, that should get as much news coverage.https://www.nbcboston.com/news/coronavirus/missouri-hair-stylist-with-covid-19-worked-while-symptomatic-exposed-dozens-of-clients/2130222/ …

But couldn’t they be asymptomatic and still infectious after quarantining? Or it is known that those who are asymptomatic aren’t infected for longer than two weeks?

My understanding was that if you didn’t show symptoms after two weeks, you weren’t shedding enough live virus particles to infect people by that time, so you’re safe. But it’s not something I’ve seen a really good answer about.

Initial headlines on this were over sensationalized. But less than half tested is not great, if “quarantine” means “stay home where you can infect your family members” and not actual isolation. Many cases in my city were infections w/in same household.

And by the way I believe getting a haircut when proper precautions are taken is a relatively low-risk activity. But being able to test less than half of exposed clients isn’t great. And without knowing definition of quarantine and if/how it's enforced, that doesn’t mean much.

Why did the remaining 2/3 refuse to get tested? It's possible at least some of them were infected but asymptomatic?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
