Hopefully this is not a repeat of Wuhan.
I remember reading the church members were in Wuhan up until early Dec. They left because they heard about people getting sick.
I wonder if the church has the original strain of Coronavirus that was in Wuhan. Is there more than one strain of Coronavirus? Is this thing mutating quickly? Is this why the rest of China appear to been spared?
Lots of good questions. It does seem like some places are getting hit harder than others. The Daegu outbreak in ROK and the Lombardy in Italy are especially bad. And Iran of course
"Possible", but there is an already obvious cause:
Wuhan was harder hit than the rest of China because the virus was well established there by the time cases started showing up elsewhere. China imposed it's lockdown, slowing the spread outside Hubei province to a rate that was manageable, and health care resources could (so far as we know) keep up.
In Hubei Province, even with the pop up hospitals built, and so on, the health care system was overwhelmed because the virus, in effect, got out too far ahead. That in turn lead to a higher fatality rate.
The big question to me is whether China can reopen for business without a 2nd wave of infections, prior to the arrival of substantially warmer weather.
