Incubation period possibly 24 days now.
A friend of ours just returned to the US from China by staying in Thailand for 14 days - and was allowed to return home directly. The best part is that they own a restaurant. She is self- isolating at home, but her family is occupying the same home, but in different rooms.
Then they go run their restaurant each day......
I hope they don't write blogs.
The Chi-Coms said there was a 14-day incubation period. They wouldn’t lie, would they? >sarc

WHO said the 24 day case was an outlier that possibly reflected a second exposure.
On the restaurant. 14 days in Thailand really reduces the odds. that they have it. Thailand has 33 cases now, but that’s nothing compared to China.
On the American recently diagnosed. The fact that he had symptoms but tested negatively, tells me that either the tests can generate false negatives, or you can be sick and have symptoms but not yet shedding virus in the locations they check. That’s not good news.
The patient showed symptoms of the virus but was released back to the base on Feb. 9.
Good work all, now the entire USMC may be infected.
On the other hand, 3 of the U.S. patients have “recovered” status. So the U.S. currently has 10 confirmed cases. That is fewer than last week! :)
RE: American Evacuated From Wuhan Is 13th Case In US
I’m very interested in finding out the ethnicity of this “American”.
Many people have been speculating that this virus was bio-engineered to target ethnic Han Chinese. If so, then it should filter out people of other races.
But that’s just rumors and speculation of course.
I haven’t found any charts or data that breaks down infections by ethnicity at all.
How many did he infect while he was out?
Then they go run their restaurant each day......
Lovely!
No one should have been allowed in from China or SEA once this virus was known. We were better to send our doctors over there than to bring the plague into our own country. Aircraft from there should have been allowed to land only to refuel and get sent back to their point of origin without anyone getting off the planes. The compassionate way to deal with a plague is the suicidal way. Add the deaths of many for the compassion showed to a few.
The rate of infection is super duper fast. A month ago there was maybe a couple of hundred cases in the whole world. Now there is a couple thousand. That is 10 timesing every month. Next month there will be 10000 cases and the month after that there will be 100000 cases! It will be less than a year for everybody in whole world to be infected and then they will start to die! Probably a lot of people will die hopefully except I want to be one of the survivors. And if a few other people live we will inherit all the stuff. Cool!
