Yep - been around for closer to 3 months instead of the 4-6 weeks many have been using as the ‘standard’ for transmit rates/spread....which can account for a few of the “just popped up outta nowhere’ cases we’ve been seeing - could be longer chains of contact not being looked at due to “time-frame” constraints...which could be both good and bad news...bad because cases may have been slipping in prior to it being known about/looked at and good because if that is the case, it hasn’t spread more robustly than we’ve seen.

If the exact nature of this "community vector" can't be established then would be wary of touching anything that was manufactured in the district in the past 3 months then.

Besides heavy duty machine and vehicle parts, Wuhan manufactures typical consumer type things like soap, textiles, and electronics.

If they discover that just walking into a Walmart is all it takes to contract the disease then it's all over for the U.S. from a panic POV.

Right now I am agnostic on the whole subject. It may be a pandemic or mere pettifoggery. But everyone should prep regardless for natural disasters/weather events in general and especially in the event leftists take over (see tagline).

First acknowledged sample sequenced for viral identification, was taken 24 December 2019 from an infected patient admitted to the Hospital of Wuhan 18 Dec. 2019. Reports of an uptick in pneumonia patients preceded this date for the province in which Wuhan is located.
