If you don't have those symptoms, stay home until you do get those symptoms.

What do you actually want them to do? They don't have a actual fool proof treatment. They ain't gonna put the low risk/mild case in the hospital. They ain't gonna give the low riak/mild case some type medication if it isn't needed at this time.
If a patient reaches a certain point then additional treatment is given. If a patient is at higher risk they are given medication.
Pretty clear cut. The link I posted makes it clear that those in higher risk are not just sent home with no medication.
