Was the situation handled perfectly? Absolutely not. Would I have done anything differently? Doubt it. Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm not so arrogant so as to assume that, in January and with the information available then, that I'd have reacted perfectly. Moving forward, sure. This experience has taught us all the importance of it.
What I'm seeing a lot of are people - like you, jutes, bob (sorry bob) - that are saying there are better ways to do things but not actually articulating the how or the why. So it's great to say that there better options, but another thing entirely to explore them.
Again, people much smarter and more invested than both of us got us on the isolation bandwagon. Why?
