@spudmato- The CDC is asking everyone not to use masks. They really aren't very useful as they aren't tight fitting at all, for example. And some masks just can't be worn for long periods of time. And you have to change them every couple of hours. And what are you going to do when you have to eat, or drink something? Yes, it is self-quarantine! Not only does it help protect yourself but protects the community. Also, if anyone suspects that they are ill with flu-like symptoms please call the doctor's office before going there. Then they will direct you to what needs to be done to be tested and treated.
I can only pass on the facts. I'm not telling anyone to do anything. But if you are infirm and elderly than, in my opinion, you are taking unnecessary chances for your community and your own health.
