Your governor's younger brother Chris, made the point very emphatically on his CNN show a couple of days ago that a common tenet among people of all faiths is, "we are our "brother's keeper" and have an obligation to look out for the welfare of those around us not just ourselves. Finding out you have been exposed to COVID-19 should — if nothing else — encourage us to redouble our efforts at self isolation, social distancing, use of masks, etc. to prevent inadvertently spreading the disease to others. To me, that is reason enough to be warned of exposure.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
