I doubt anyone is intubating to protect staff. What they are doing is following the protocols because the science to change them is nowhere near ready.

Then they can only be alone in their house, right? It would be dangerous to say be in your own bedroom with others in other rooms in the house, because they'd exposed.

Expand that to a hotel, if you put people in hotel rooms with these, you couldn't turn over the room without a very very thorough cleaning. I'd be worried to stay there until a few weeks had passed with no occupants.

Are those two scenarios I give real problems?
