If not, how would you know if you have been exposed? Do you go shopping, to movies or plays, drive with you windows down, go to the library, fly on business. There are just so many potential exposure points. Why don't they ask you if you have been near anyone with the flu? It is far closer to pandemic level than the Wuhan virus.
