I wrote a previous article on FreeRepublic about Wuhan as China’s dirty little secret. My conjecture is that the Coronavirus is not nearly as contagious AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID (Not to say it isn’t very dangerous), but that it has long gripped Wuhan before the sudden, urgent crackdown.
That doctor who reasoned he must have caught it when airborne particles got into his eye, because his eyes were the only part of him not covered when he came into contact with CoV patients? My guess is that he had been exposed by contact with numerous “flu” patients.
They’ve demonstrated there is no “super-spreader” effect, so if it’s so insanely contagious in cases like that, how have tens of millions of Chinese passed through Hubei without getting it? Cases outside Hubei are declining, and if the Chinese are trying to catch up with a disaster, it makes little sense to lowball these cases NOW.
I wouldn’t be surprised if MOST of those 250,000 “quarantined” people have CoV.
We’ll find out more from this disastrous cruise ship; for the love of God, can’t they get these people to some better designed quarantine than a CRUISE SHIP?
