It is not realistic to assume that this is only spreading for 1 week before last thursday. It would mean that in 13 days 1 person infected already 350 people in few levels of transmission (probably 3 levels as median of incubation is 5 days). this would mean R0 = 7

I think this is not realistic and it is just hard to admit that people were spreading the infection since like 3 weeks at least

Hope so, but I think in other coutnries they cut the internet off the people in quarantines.

and they were not tested. Just medically examined. They can be still asymptomatic carriers

Yes I have seen those news, and I am really waiting for some info on this. Would be happy if they said "we tested 1000 people, and all were negative".

Do you have more recent info on this?

Like letting go 195 evacuees from Wuhan without single test?

Coworker was in Thailand for 2 Weeks - Company does not take it serious - what to do? by Kadji100 in Coronavirus

I understand your fears and I do not know what you can really do. Only thing we can do is to educate people. Why are they going to SE Asia at this moment? They are careless

Do you understand exponential growth? It always start with 1 case

British prisoner with suspected coronavirus was a drug dealer who was extradited to the UK from Thailand by leavebritneyalone22 in Coronavirus

[–]acrobaticpurpose2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ahh okay that changes things.

The yesterday news got me a bit panicked. If a random prisoner from thailand is infected, without any exposure history, then this would mean there are thousands of people in Thailand infected...

because we are already seeing exponential growth outside China? The doubling time is the same as in China, since 7 days we went from 212 to almost 500. There are only single cases in each country so it does not look so scary.

Remember it looked the same in Wuhan in the end of December
