GERMANY: The first human to human transmission of the Wuhan coronavirus in Europe has been reported in Germany, where a man was infected by a work colleague who had been in China, fuelling anxieties about the potential ease of international spread.
Experts said it was of particular concern that the Chinese woman who originally had the virus apparently had no symptoms when she transmitted it to her colleague. There have been warnings from inside China that people may be infectious before they start to feel ill.
So far there has been very limited spread from China. A handful of countries have reported cases including France, which has three, and the United States, which had five. This is the first reported European case of transmission from one person to another but it has also occurred in Japan, Vietnam and Taiwan.
No telling how many infected arrived in the US, before any preventative (lol) measures were in place.
That is a very superficial and incomplete account. If that German truly is infected with this specific coronavirus, then his activities and all contacts of any sort over the past 30 days would have to be tracked. Otherwise not much can be discerned from this single case. Single cases are always difficult to accurately discern.
