With a 14 day incubation period, nobody knows how many are infected, much less how to control it.
While they suspect it’s transmitted via respiration, there’s no certainty at this point. But the recent pressure is on surface sanitation.
If this virus is hearty for hours or even days on doorknobs etc., the 14 day incubation makes this quarantine the only possible means of stopping it’s spread outside the region.
Which would have to be followed by thorough sanitation.
I would not want to be in Wuhan right now. It may be a while before anyone gets out.
Agreed. BTTT.
