Lets examine if people returning from Belgium should be quarantined.

In summary, absolutely not.

This is another classic case of do more tests and find more asymptomatic people that are not ill and are very unlikely to spread to the virus.

The average number of positive tests by age group in the last 10 days confirms this.

87% are under 60 so at almost no risk from the virus.

The 20-39 year old age group makes up 40% of the positive tests. Ludicrous.

The final question we should ask is, are these cases going on to be hospitalised.

Again, the answer is no.

There is maybe a very marginal increase in new hospitalisations - if you look really closely.

But remember, confirmed hospitalisations are also a factor of testing.
