Coronavirus still stumps experts on when human carrier turns infectious
Michael Osterholm, director of the Centre for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said it was possible it could be transmitted by people before they become ill and there were “striking parallels” between Covid-19 and the flu virus, which can infect others during the incubation period.
“The epidemiology screams ‘flu virus-transmission’,” he said.
“With Sars, the majority of transmission took place between four to six days of illness so patients could be identified in the first several days of infection and isolated, which slows down the transmission.
“I think this virus does not act that way.”

Brilliant deduction, Mr Osterholm!
