Pony- you are right, there was a very real danger that we overlooked. We didn’t understand the potential last purim and much damage was done. What is different now is that many people are among large groups who were already sick and recovered. They are not likely at risk of getting or spreading an infection. How long should that large group sit isolated and idle? Especially with the knowledge that most high risk individuals are not anywhere within reach. The doctors are asking them to remain in isolation, not because of them, but because of some other guy who may not be so careful. I do NOT say it is right or wrong, I am saying you can’t keep comparing it to before purim, and you can’t keep saying they don’t care.
