@InternetKevin No. But the fact that it is contagious from day one combined with up to 14 days of incubation just makes the risk more worthwhile of close observation IMHO.

This means, AFAICS, that millions of possible spreaders are travelling and spreading without showing symptoms as we speak. Temperature checks at airports are thus kind of useless. Let’s hope at leat the mortality quote turns out to be too high. And wash your hands!

My best source for numbers that make sense is https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/news--wuhan-coronavirus/

So the #Wuhan #nCoV2019 #CoronaVirus seems to spread human to human, is already contagious in non-symptomatic incubation period of up to 14 days and has a mortality rate of 3-4%. Infection rate R0 of 2.6-ish. Common flu has mortality rate of 0.6%. Do the math.

I’ve watched #Picard S1E1 three times thus far. And the next hour is reserved for the fourth time. So many things to unpack. So many memories and projections of old ideas. I love it to bits.

To drain the swamp.

The swamp he and his cronies created.

Ok. We have some not so good news wrt #Wuhan #coronavirus #2019_nCov Incubation period could be between 1 and 14(!) days. And, which is the dangerous new info, patients seem to be contagious DURING incubation. That is bad news IMHO. https://www.theguardian.com/science/live/2020/jan/26/coronavirus-outbreak-death-toll-rises-to-54-as-canada-confirms-first-case?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Three cases of #coronavirus in #France discovered. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/jan/24/french-cases-show-coronavirus-has-reached-europe?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

I really hope that all cast members from any Star Trek series and The Gene Roddenberry estate distance themselves from this blatant rip-off. This. Is. Not. Our. Federation.

@sohkamyung very interesting link. Thanks for sharing!

@sohkamyung From the Caveat section of that report: "3. The incubation period of 2019-nCov is not known and has been approximated with the estimates obtained for MERS-CoV and SARS [16,17]."

FTR - the incubation period for SARS-CoV, AKA the Wuhan #Coronavirus is 2-7 days. So locking down cities in China is just actionism IMHO. The superspreaders travelled before. On my 48 hour hiatus now. Just ordered surgical masks.

The simple question nobody will publicly answer wrt #CoronaVirus. What is the incubation time? That defines how big the risk of spreading is. Regardless of actionism and closing down travels. When incubation time is between 24-96 hours, the spreading is already happening.

@sohkamyung question zero: what is the incubation time and what does that mean for containment procedures? (I guess 48-72 hours so the superspreaders are already out there)

I’ll be offline for the next 48 hours. See you then!

The #CloudWars are on! Explain to me again how the free markets invisible hand works ;) #SarcasmButOnlyHalf https://thehill.com/policy/technology/479530-amazon-asks-court-to-halt-microsofts-work-on-pentagon-war-cloud

Der ganze Hick-Hack um #Sarrazin zeigt eben auch wie schwer sich die #SPD damit tut die eigenen Grundsätze durchzusetzen. 10+ Jahre Diskussion um Parteiausschluss. Und noch immer kein Ende in Sicht.

@ondra My theory: Any bipartisan system ends up being a single party system.

Observing how GOP treats the #ImpeachmentTrial in the Senate so far only shows me how the system of "Checks And Balances" is in deep trouble.
