Wasn't that doctor in New York technically contagious for a day while he was out running errands and jogging? - Bacon Oct 30, 07:31 3
- Edge cases like this are where I get cautious because I realize I am *not* medically trained, and only have the information I have researched. - ty97 Oct 30, 07:38 1
  - You are right on the CDC thing - Bacon Oct 30, 07:42
