It cannot get loose here like in China. Not enough overcrowding here.
I don’t know, we have some rather crowded filthy cess-pool cities like San Francisco, which are really no better than these places in China. Pretty much anywhere with large illegal immigrant populations, they are filthy areas ripe for infectious disease.
“It cannot get loose here like in China. Not enough overcrowding here.”
Sorry to burst your little bubble but that has already been shown to be a fallacy. Population density in Wuhan is less than many U.S. cities, because Wuhan is so spread out (Delaware size).
New York City has a higher pop density than Wuhan does.
So do a lot of East Coast cities.
Asian people leave shoes at door and have been wearing masks for years. The virus is right now spreading through the world like wildfire. This is the point in time when we are all most vulnerable. Just before donning the masks, gloves and goggles and self quarantining. IMHO.
Actually, yeah, it can. Unlike a typical coronavirus, this one leaves its victim infectious PRIOR to showing symptoms.
That’s a very serious problem. As with the tour bus driver in Japan who was infected; none of the tourists were showing signs when he came into contact with them.
Now think of all the people he came into contact with prior to showing symptoms, or how many people the original infected tourist(s) came into contact with.
To me, it’s a miracle that Japan didn’t explode with cases from just this incident alone.
The silver lining, so far, is that while the virus is passed by close contact, it seems to have a low infection rate.
Did you ever try to walk or drive through Brooklyn, New York at 8 am on a weekday! Wall to wall people...four million of them crammed into a space smaller than Lycoming County in Pa.
