The first article talking about that was the South China Morning Post last weekend, about an asymptomatic 10-year-old whose family was infected.
Later discussion, and other articles, indicate ground-glass is a picturesque description of the appearance of pneumonia on a chest X-ray.
I’ll pass it along. Thanks.
Canada flight UPDATE Feb 3:

If you recover from the original virus are you then immune? At least if there is no mutation?
In the case of some viruses the body doesn't produce antibodies for very long...months...
After being infected with a norovirus, people have temporary immune protection, which usually lasts no more than 14 weeks.
In other cases the virus itself destroys the individual's immunity
During the acute phase of infection, measles induces immune suppression through a process called immune amnesia.
And antibodies are not always 100% effective. For these reasons people can be reinfected even without mutation.
In China, it’s roses and champagne on the state newscasts. It is rumored that China is blocking VPNs in further attempts to prevent news from coming out. Internal media is still afraid to say anything negative - it’s oh, look at the new hospital, look at all the unity, hard workers. Squirrel, Squirrel !!
Feb 3; Blocking the coronavirus: Hong Kong medical workers go on strike to demand closure of border with China
The semi-autonomous city’s local medical union announced that 300 of the strikers are doctors and another 900 are nurses. Those figures are expected to balloon on Tuesday, as the employees alliance expects 9,000 union members to participate in the strike, if Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam continues to allow entry to Hong Kong from the mainland.
and just to show that yes, China is badmouthing the USA- (squirrel ! squirrel !):
““The U.S. government hasn’t provided any substantive assistance to us, but it was the first to evacuate personnel from its consulate in Wuhan, the first to suggest partial withdrawal of its embassy staff, and the first to impose a travel ban on Chinese travelers,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters on Monday. “What it has done could only create and spread fear, which is a very bad example.” “

thanks grey_whiskers, Pulling you over to this thread for a sec - more on ages.
First print account of an alleged uninfected newborn:
note: This is from RT
‘The Harbin Municipal Health Commission made the announcement on Monday, after the woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl weighing 3.05kgs (6.7 lbs) on January 30. The mother and daughter were kept in quarantine...both are said to be in stable condition.
The woman presented herself to the hospital at 38 weeks pregnant with a high fever...the decision was taken to induce birth and deliver the baby via caesarean section....
The health commission said the child registered a remarkable Apgar score of 10, with seven usually indicating a very healthy child.
The baby has since tested negative for coronavirus on two separate occasions.
“first to impose a travel ban on Chinese travelers”
Provably false. Israel, among others, did that first.

If that is really from 3 February, someone is likely sending out a signal to the Chinese people.

“What is it like to be quarantined in a China? Feb. 04, 2020 - 8:12 - The Wall Street Journal reporter Stephanie Yang discusses her being quarantined at a hotel in Xiangyang, China over fears of coronavirus spreading and whether the Chinese government can be trusted.”
‘Right, uh, yeah.” Another reporter who slept through Journalism 101.
I don’t like the idea of them bringing it in with them but why are they planning these flights so late in the game? Why not have them hop a commercial flight out last week or 10 days ago? Sorry, but at this time, if you’re that dumb to still be there, then stay.
The State Dept. is going to hold townhalls this week from concerned citizens. Well, that’s nice and all but a week too late.
http://af.dodlodging.net/propertys/JBSA-—Lackland-Kelly I can’t seem to get in to check for availabitiy dates for Lackland’s Gateway Inn and the Gateway Villa where they’ll be staying. Perhaps someone else can check for dates and we’ll know when they arrive/d and the length of stay.
Has anyone checked for signs of life in those houses they boarded up?
