Really at what POINT of symptoms would infectiousness begin. no one is going to know that, I realize. But you could just be feeling crappy but not full on SICK yet and who knows if it’s kicked in to become infectious. I feel that the panic level will rise if/when the first contact comes down with symptoms.
The symptoms are proportional to the amount of virus in your blood. The virus infects easily so a few viruses and no symptoms is a danger, but a low probability danger.
Agreed. Where are the contacts? Did I read yesterday the girlfriend was already let out of quatantine?
I can't imagine the nurse's aide in Spain will contract it, yet in this family no one will? I hope they don't but it seems inconceivable.
From just reading and observation, it appears to me that the likelihood of transmission starts out practically nil until symptoms appear, then begins to build as viral load in the host increases, with a very high likelihood occurring in the hours immediately prior to death, followed by the very highest likelihood of infection being from the body and anything touched by it following death for at least several hours, possibly more.
