(2 posts)23. He knew he was exposed.
I agree with you, he couldn't have known he was exposed when he got his paperwork to come to the US, but he knew he was exposed before he got on the airplane. The person he was exposed to died just a day before he got on the plane. All of the people exposed due to him being here are under a 21 day quarantine. He should have been under a 21 day quarantine too before he got on that airplane.

He couldn't have known he was infected. He certainly knew he had been exposed.

If he was thinking this clearly, then why did he wait two whole days after he got symptoms
