"THE 1ST GENERATION INDIVIDUALS SHOULD NOT TEST UNTIL THE DATE GIVEN BELOW!!!!!!" as quoted from the quarantine page on AIM - http://aim-med.org/Quarantine.html

I'm wondering why the people on the 1st gen list are being told not to test until one month after contact. What harm would it have done to have been tested immediately and retested in a week or so if negative? It would seem that if people on the 1st and/or 2nd gen list came up positive, this would enable them to actively seek out and warn 3rd gen and move on down the list... get an earlier start on things if needed.

If someone has an explaination for this, I'd truly like to know the reasoning. I just know that if I were on any of those lists, I'd want to be tested as soon as possible.

Also, does anyone have any info on the press conference that was held yesterday?
