While genome mapping was accomplished quickly, lack of basic epidemiological evidence on who and how is glaringly lacking.

Update on TX student last night from Texas A&M & Brazos County Health District:

Test results from CDC expected Sat. a.m. at earliest.

There is no anti viral therapy.

Chicago case: This adds more days to 14 day estimated incubation. Even if not exposed until 12/31 (likely B4), it was >14 days before symptomatic since her symptoms began a "few days" after Jan 13.

Me processing & thinking aloud. H/T @BluesBrother91

@BluesBrother91 Chicago news update on Chicago coronavirus patient.

@BluesBrother91 Likely see outbreaks in U.S. W/good surveillance, Dx's & isolation, epidemic can be averted.

CHI likely has far more cases than confirmed w/milder cases undetected

Need on site rapid testing rather than PCR testing @ CDC

@BluesBrother91 16 China cities on lockdown w/Yichang, a city of 4 million, upgraded from a partial lockdown to a full lockdown

Hong Kong has 3 new cases

@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious Live update thread by Epoch Times on Coronavirus.
Refresh for updates.

Patients in #Wuhan diagnosed w/new #Coronavirus symptoms after exhibiting non-respiratory-related symptoms—such as diarrhea, chest pains, and headaches— according to Jan. 24 report.

@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious I missed this one yesterday.

U of Wisconsin - 6 students monitored for coronavirus.
2 are from Wuhan and currently live together in a dorm, but are not under any quarantine or isolation.

@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious Michigan: To date, MDHHS has evaluated referrals from several counties and approved specimens from two individuals in Washtenaw and Macomb Counties ..

Coronavirus

@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious Good article on 2 most recent Lancet papers on coronavirus 2019-nCoV

Worth the read though caustion based on small sampling.

Contagious w/out symptoms.
Not only immune compromised become ill.

Also 3-6 day onset seems to be incorrect as does 14.

@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious To clarify ... 1st patient in Chicago seems to have exceeded not only the 3-6 day exposure before onset of symptoms, but also 14 days as set out by C D C for screening. She didn't become ill until well past 15 days.
@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious N Carolina - symptomatic person hospitalized who had traveled to Wuhan but had not been at the market.
Health Dept arranging for CDC testing.

There is also 2 suspected cases in Spain

Coronavirus

abc11.com/possible-case-…
@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious 1 of the French cases in Bordeaux SEEMS to confirm incubation period of 15+ days.
@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious Clarity ... or at least up to 15+ days as w/ the woman in Chicago.

Others could become ill sooner after exposure as well.
@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious Possible TX student coronavirus case at Baylor moved to isolated room - Waco-McLennan County Public Health District is awaiting CDC test results on tudent who recently traveled to China.
@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious FWIW Current generic coronavirus numbers from CHI via Bloomberg

1000+ infected in CHI w/ 40+ deaths incl 15 new deaths.
Again +/- 14 day incubation

US monitoring 60+ people.

CDC working to get tests avail for hospitals to perform tests.

@BluesBrother91 @chiIIum @is_contagious 🤦‍♀️ DFW TX airport is not screening passengers to/from Beijing, Shanghai or Hong Kong because CDC didn't mandate. Coronavirus

American airlines is allowing flight crews to wear masks.

EMS in DFW added shields and other gear to ambulances.

While human to human infection is firing the contagious explosion, they have narrowed down statistically that is probability is originated in BATS, like SARS before it, and before the human jump it made.

Viruses love to thrive and survive.
