I’m not sure if this has all been posted, but the scariest developments I’ve seen on Twitter today, all with a variety of studies attached, so this stuff is all pretty legit:
1- they think it’s not just passed via droplets, but is actually becoming aerosolized - meaning it might be possible that is hangs around in the air even AFTER the infected person is gone. Think elevators: scary.
2- The incubation period has been shown to be possibly up to 24 days, (still average of 3 though) - and in one charted case, the only apparent exposure a woman had was having traveled from Wuhan 42 days prior. Ouch that’s a long incubation period...
3- In HK a woman w/ no other means of exposure may have gotten it somehow from the PIPES in the building - might have been sewage/air pipe mixing or some nasty such thing - they have evacuated part of this building to check it out.
This stuff above could mean a real disaster for the US if this virus affects people outside of China as badly as it does inside. If it doesn’t somehow develop here, then some of this data must be bad. If this stuff is correct, we are in for a very rough time, and we need to begin preparing BEFORE it begins spreading.
I heard that a gentleman of African descent came down with it, so it apparently is not just Asian or Chinese.
