The NEJM article says a possible 8 weeks transmissibility (in some cases).
So even 42 days isn't enough.
And many people couldn't even follow their short Covid quarantine at home.
I don't believe they can all handle 6 weeks, and certainly not in a safe way if they are made to believe it's not easily transmitted.
Their relatives will get it.
Totally inadequate measures and wildly irresponsible for a virus with a 2.19R factor and 35-50% mortality.
