@randomfools808 It will definitely spread like overseas. I woke this morning to hear about a second case in New York. Few hours later, I found out from my son (living 10K miles away), that case 2 in New York was his roommates friends father. Then they confirmed the father was positive. His kids schools were closed for the day. His son has shown symptoms and we are awaiting confirmation. In the meantime, we found out where he was this past weekend. If he spread it to people there, we are looking at 100's who should be tested. Then found out a guest at one of the events is in self-quarantine. I watched it play out in a matter of hours. The father has been sick since January. And traveled within the US and abroad. Just think of everyone he came into contact with?? Scared what I will wake up to tomorrow!

You are very right. But to add to that, while a virus does not have "a brain", they are very smart and can adapt and mutate very quickly. Which would make this even scarier!

@JK-xz6mj Das war wohl unnötig und ist bestimmt vielem Deutschen peinlich...

Not necessarily, but depending on the numbers we don't even really have, incubation period, the Ro (R naught), fomites, etc. she could have infected just the crew alone which could lead to hundreds more infections. It is still scary and they definitely didn't handle it correctly. But they were still going on risk/reward.

@coldlessons Yet without proper testing we will never know. Or won't know until after the fact when and if the proper data can be collected. Then we would have an Ro figure.

@ed-qi3cx And? What did you find out? Did you report the flight number and her seat number to the CDC? That could be very helpful to them. Send them an email. There are people whose jobs it is just to backtrack people's movements and while 80% of the carriers may show no signs, at some point that flight number may help someone researching movements of infected patients. Worth just one email...
