first person to person was German, along with his two associates. Don’t know the genetics of the German or his two associates. The first death in Malaysia, was a 22yo India Indian. Asian but not east Asian, if that makes sense. A group of Paki students trying to leave Wuhan airport were tested negative, but then pulled and sent into quarantine in ‘a 5-star hotel’. The guy who made the video said they hadn’t told him if the second test was positive or if he was just a ‘contact’ to another student maybe testing positive. He didn’t know why they quarantined his small group. Again, Asian but not east Asian.

So far, no reports of symptoms within the group of Americans in quarantine at March Field.

If the patients in the US came back, say Jan 23 or 24, then we’ll know in about 3 days if any ‘other than asian’ caught a person-to-person transfer, given a 14 day incubation/viral shedding period. It all depends on their arrival date. As well how crowded the waiting room was, whether they went to a regular doctor, urgent care or ER. Or if they visited a gas station or grocery store coming and going. To be noted the San Benito wife had symptoms within 4 days of picking her husband up at SFO.
