The medical and scientific purposes behind quarantine is to isolate individuals you either A) known to have been exposed to diseases, parasites or pathogens, and B) to isolate individuals THOUGHT to have been exposed to pathogens, parasites, or diseases.

In Public Health we are taught that while quarantine originally started in the 1400's in plague ridden Italy and Europe as being 40 days in duration (from the Italian words quaranta giorni) the appropriate length of duration of quarantine is as long as a full cycle of disease lasts or until the last case of disease either results in death of the organism or it successfully beating the disease. I fail to see how a year long quarantine duration is appropriate in regards to the diseases and parasites/pathogens that most of us here keep speaking about.

As I have asked before, at least for me personally, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE whatever information on this 10 month long incubation time disease that has been previously mentioned.

The consensus, at least to me, is that the vast majority of people on here seem to QT for somewhere between 60 to 120 days.
