“interfax: 7 Chinese tourists with high fever have been hospitalized in Moscow. They were staying at a hotel in the capital and other guests are also being tested.”
Folks, we have a problem here, and in every other country this is leaking in to.
Testing of possible infected persons in the first 3-5 days after exposure will show nothing, even if they are infected.
The virus first finds a “host cell”, climbs inside and begins replication. Then that one (or 10) cell explodes several days later to infect throughout the body.
Insidious. And undetectable until the explosion, even by blood and tissue tests.
If it's presence in the host person is limited to being on the *inside* of 1 (or 10) cells for the first several days, then the host can't spread the infection to others during that time.
That could only happen "post-explosion" when infectious material spreads to the respiratory tract, right?
Do you know if previous cases of this operated the same way.
Clearly it has been a known issue since we had a lab in the US manufacture a virus that mixed Bat soup with Sars..so to speak.
Oh wow. I didn’t realize how it incubated.
