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.
One patient in England infected 11 others, so “super spreaders” exist, just like with SARS.
Super spreaders are asymptomatic.
A week or so ago I read about it taking up to three tests to get a positive.
