Is there any advantage to being quarantined?
One ‘advantage’ of staying home for 24 hours a day is the ability to live without wearing the mask. Do you agree? Are there other advantages?

An update on China from the March 17th NY Times

Just one new locally originated infection was reported on Monday, according to the Chinese National Health Commission’s daily update of new coronavirus cases. The new cases was in Wuhan, the center of the outbreak.
An additional 20 new cases were also recorded in China on Monday among travelers arriving from abroad.
Over the past two weeks, the daily count of infections in China has consistently fallen since the government implemented drastic measures to close cities and confine hundreds of millions of people to their homes.
By the end of Monday, China’s total infection count from the virus had reached 80,881. With 3,226 fatal cases, the country has suffered more deaths from the coronavirus than any other. But Italy, a much smaller country, was nearing this figure Tuesday with 2,470 recorded deaths.
China is already trying to restart commerce and industry, but even when new local infections hit zero, the government appears unlikely to proclaim full victory over the epidemic. A test is still to come as people return to work.

My comment is in response to the question posted as one of the Vineyard Views Blog COVID-19 posts What’s good about being quarantined because of COVID? Well, COVID hasn’t gotten me yet. Also, your short videos about COVID provide information I would otherwise miss. I don’t spend time watching videos. Now I have the time. Thank you for the posts.
