I thought astronauts were supposed to quarantine on earth before flying to the International Space Station.
Is this the beginning of a horror sci-fi movie?

  It's not contagious.

    I really hope so, but it doesn't make the news less extraordinary.

    This is probably for privacy. If all four go to the hospital you can't tell which one is sick.
