Good news is that it's one group of islands with travel to another group of islands. Bad news is who the hell knows how many passengers also contracted the disease. He was symptomatic while in the state of Hawaii, and boarded international flight(s) to Japan and was not once screened? Or did the tests show negative, thus failing like so many have been it seems.

Where was he before Hawaii? He must have been infected a week or two before first landing in the Hawaiian Islands. Yikes, depending upon just how early one starts to become contagious before symptoms appear, with an up to three week incubation period, depending upon the virulence factors that's a fuckton of potential exposures to a great number of international travelers. Good news: It's highly unlikely it gets to chain hop flights via multiple vectors rapidly multiplying, so that's helpful. Bad news:that first flight could have spread it to many other international travelers which means they take it wherever they are then going. 🙁

This has been a thing for a couple weeks now. All it means is now we will start having cases linked to travel through Hawaii like the ones that started with travel through Hong Kong.

It has never been contained.

I for one welcome our new viral overlords.
 
We use to rely on world wars to keep the population down. Maybe this Kung Flu fighting is a good thing? It isn't like China can't spare a billion or so.

You're breathing the same air they are and living on the same planet they are, maybe you should volunteer yourself to the front of the line to help everyone else out. It would be much appreciated.

Haha oops it was the first post on a new page for me and I completely ignored/forgot what thread I was in. I didn't need to explain anything. 😳

But yes it was never contained, it's only ever been about playing catch up. That incubation delay is rough. Yet I'm also not significantly worried, not yet, not from where I am. And frankly with respiratory viruses I tend to just take them as they come, I don't fret too much over them and just take basic precautions. And primarily avoid sneeze blasts.
 
I think March is when shit will hit the fan, so far hardly anyone taking this seriously. Assuming 600k infected in China (Chinese official figure multiplied by 10), i can only imagine what the real numbers will be one month from now considering its extremely high R naught.

The rate of confirmed cases outside of mainland China is more stagnant actually. It's daily new confirmed cases range since the start has been between 0 to 100, never higher than 100.

We 'were' breathing the same air Wuhan had before the virus outbreak. According to WHO and news, the virus has reached a point where it is airborne in the air of Wuhan. That too in a manner such that the air composition in Wuhan has changed by 0.001%, where the Wuhan air composition now has a part of its composition now including 0.001% being coronaviurs particles.

have you seen the video's where people infected with the virus are spitting on everyone's door handle in the building? or 10 families in china all infected after eating out at a restaurant? its almost like they want everyone to get infected once they have it.

Predicatable. The same thing happened with the Corrupted Blood epidemic: Epidemiologists noted that people went into towns spreading it deliberately.

We need to act fast in order to save the World...

thanks for that interesting video game fact. never played wow and almost hated people who do / did play it,

Me either, but the fact that a game glitch accidentally modeled a epidemic and revealed real-world phenomenons epidemiologists weren't expecting is fascinating. Papers have been written. Science happened. 🙂
 
i wonder if it is safer to visit asia in march or October after it has spread more 😛 maybe trump will be right and it will just go away after the cold weather hehheh ;P 😛 dying to go to asia again

Like SARS, should be gone when hot weather arrives, latest being May or June, else summer Olympics will have to be cancelled.

Totally predictable in gaming. Griefing was always a thing in multiplayer interaction.

Griefing is a real-world behaviour as well, though. Interesting to consider to what degree it is attenuated when there are real consequences - such gaming events aren't going to be exactly the same as the real world because of the absence of real-world consequences for actions, but people do get really invested in them. They are surely at least as indicative of real behaviour as most social-psychology experiments? (which also tend to involve very low stakes, on account of limited research budgets, and, er, ethical considerations).
 
Latest news -

Almost 2,000 new cases in Hubei, at least 1,765 deaths, 355 infections on the cruise ship in Japan. This is scary part - "The head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said the outbreak is on the verge of a global pandemic if containment steps fail to show more success."


And S. Korea just says it has at least another confirm case in its hands.

Edit: Over 70,000 infection cases around the world and Taiwan just says it has at least one recent death from the virus.
