Afterthought Tom. Supplying a person with mosquito repellent after they were already infected is not pointless. True, it wouldn't help the person infected per se, but it would prevent the infected person from getting bit by another mosquito which could then bite another person, infecting them. That is why DOH/CD recommend isolating the infected person.
In the case of grumpyscosmos, the repellent was provided to prevent him/ her from getting a second infection from a different strain.
Clear as mud?
