If you think outside the box there’s plenty of things to do:
* quarantine the infected person outside the home
* develop protocols to avoid infection of the others
* use medication that blocks people from getting infected
* use measures to block infecting the others
It is kind of strange that in this situation somehow the government is justified in taking no action. While in others apparently they are obligated to act.
It comes as no surprise to me that, if one person in a household gets infected, everyone else would too.
What's the government supposed to do about that? Social distancing on the sofa?
