People who might be quarantined, who could have a test, but in general, where I Would recommend it. And I did it this every day - is to tell families to take a moment to do a moment to do what I call a risk-benefit determination. If I have someone at home, who Is elderly, someone who has an underlying condition - I really want to put this person at a risk of someone who could innocently or inadvertently infect them inadvertently? Because we clearly know that people who who presented No symptoms are clearly capable and transmit infection. So, think about it for a moment, the risk now, compared to the long range of what you can do. "
