Do we know this?


We are pretty sure a number of people have. Viruses like this present with a spectrum of severity. There likely have been many mild cases in China that people recovered from, thinking they were just the common cold. They were not tested so we do not know for sure.

I have not seen anything on survival rate once it progresses to pneumonia, the point at which most people would likely first contact their doctor. It's too early to tell.


Pretty sure is not the same as solid data. It is weird that nobody is posting any numbers of people who got well,
one would think it would be something to brag about right?

Apparently, she had flu-like symptoms before boarding her plane to Abidjan--from where they haven't said but there was surely an intermediate stop between China and the Ivory Coast.

From the story, it appears the woman has signs of pneumonia. Test results expected end of day Sunday.


Wth. WHy is China not testing people before letting them board planes??? This is nonsense. The Chinese government is showing serious incompetence in managing this virus..

I think that they think they did. If you look at the pictures and video many show passengers being tested with infrared thermometer
point and click type. It is only today that they announced that a person can infect others before the symptoms are present
so one could assume that until that data came out, they did not know that people are carriers prior to symptoms.
Therefore, they did what they think was enough, just monitor for visible symptoms including temp.

So the game rules changed in real time.

I would trust it until it actually showed up on my doorstep. This happens on Amazon fairly frequently-- You order, then it doesn't ship, then you get a notice and a refund.

Even amazon prime has often longer deliveries then two days. Go to your order and check expected delivery time above the order
or click tracking.

Good question.


It is possible the symptoms began after she left China but were present when she boarded the next leg of her flight. This could have been some place like Dubai or Johannesburg, underlining the need for all international airports to be on high alert.

JUST IN: The Virginia Department of Health says it's investigating 3 possible cases of #Coronavirus...1 in NoVa & 2 in central VA. The department says the 3 people meet both the clinical & epidemiologic criteria for the virus.

Will be a lot more. Most would have tried to fly here to get treatment. Can’t blame them if the prevention net allows it.

Underscores that individuals know what they are doing. Would you do the same to get out and help?
