I'll try to remember all of them.
First of all, let me start with the SARS 1 and the quarantine. I was talking about SARS 1. SARS 1 was a disease that was not transmissible asymptomatically and was not even transmissible in its early symptomatic stage, so quarantine made zero sense with SARS 1, and my hope was that it wouldn't happen again.
Yes, we've used it widely in SARS 2. Whether it's really been very effective, or whether it's a useful tactic, because as I've said before, you can maybe flatten the curve.... In fact, I'm quite impressed by our ability to implement quarantine, and I think it probably has to some degree flattened the curve, but the question is ultimately to what end? The virus isn't going anywhere, and unless the measures you're using to flatten the curve are somehow sustainable in the long term, I'm not sure they really get us anywhere.
On the third question, as related to HIV, yes, I had recommended it. I didn't do it. It wasn't up to me. I had recommended to the minister that it be classified in the same category as diseases like tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea and hepatitis B. It was a classification that would give a judge the authority to incarcerate someone who was deliberately spreading the disease. That was the context of it. It actually never happened, and that's not quarantine. Please understand that quarantine is when you lock someone up who you think is incubating the disease.
Case isolation, which is a totally different thing, is that when you know somebody has the disease, you take steps to isolate them. I'm not recommending that we do this for HIV. That's a different context. That's what we do, in fact, when people have COVID or we have good reason to believe they have COVID. We isolate them. That's not quarantine. Quarantine is when you lock them up when you think you're incubating them.... The term “quarantine” itself derives from the 40 days of Lent. That's a medieval strategy and, by and large, I think it belongs back in the Middle Ages.
