I am interested in the Singapore clusters. The report you linked to says: “The eight imported cases[2] had travel history to Europe, North America, ASEAN and other parts of Asia.”
One of these cases has to have been a missionary from Singapore that came to my city in Feb or early Mar to speak at churches. I know of 2 small churches he did speak at. I don’t know where else he travelled to. He’s what they call a ‘super-spreader’. He didn’t have any symptoms until he went back to Singapore. However, with 48 hours, several members of the churches he visited ended up with symptoms including the couple who hosted him. 2 or 3 ended up in ICU. One is still on a ventilator. I think the missionary is alive but could be hospitalized. I think the ones who came down sick just shook hands with him. It’s a sad story.
Those super spreaders are crazy, and its one of the most odd things about the virus. Many of Europes cases started with that guy who went to a ski resort. Weve had two in GA that they believe are the root of most our states cases. We have the NY lawyer, and whoever attended that conference in Boston.
It was the first clue that asymptomatic cases were spreading this thing but some (*cough CDC cough*) refused to accept that.
