Four ‘generations’ of spread seen with virus in China, alarming experts

Emerging data on the new virus circulating in China adds to evidence there is sustained human-to-human transmission in the city of Wuhan, and that a single case was able to ignite a chain of other infections.

The World Health Organization reported Thursday that there have been at least four generations of spread of the new virus, provisionally called 2019-nCoV, meaning a person who contracted the virus from a non-human source — presumably an animal — has infected a person, who infected another person, who then infected another person.

It’s not clear from a WHO statement whether transmission petered out after that point, or whether further generations of cases from those chains are still to come.

The WHO said the current estimate of the reproductive rate of the virus — the number of people, on average, that each infected person infects — is between 1.4 and 2.5. To stop an outbreak, the reproduction number has to be brought below one.

“The virus could not survive the amount of time involved in ground (sea) shipment.”

That is not known.

Parvo can lurk in the soil for decades.

Which Chinese biowarfare lab created this?

[Rebelbase]

It definitely stops the spread of the disease.

East coast China. For their security I won’t say more.

Also Los Angeles, Houston???

[Caipirabob]

You better believe the chinese and the democrats will bring it here intentionally to create a crisis.

[Ozark Tom]

Seven day incubation?

Comparison made to Raccoon City of Resident Evil movie now.

Good info. Please keep us posted what is happening on the front lines.

Captain Trips maybe?

[Grimmy]

I’m doubting the one person seed scenario.

From reading around the web its also looking to be much more wide spread in China than the official news is admitting.

I just keep recalling that it wasn’t long ago that a new Level 4 bio research facility was built and certified by the Chinese in Wuhan.

[wjcsux]

I was thinking it’s more like “The Stand “.

[Ozark Tom]

There are possibly seven Level-Four bio-facilities in China.

My comment is based on a CDC statement. CPV is not a coronavirus and has nothing to do with the situation.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[Mariner]

If they are seeing a lot of sick people outside Wuhan and in/near the urban centers on the coast, this could get interesting fast.

Ooh, my little sniffling one, my sniffling one
When you gonna give me some time, Corona
Ooh, you make my nose run, my nose run
Got it coming down the line, Corona
Never gonna stop, fevered up, such a germy mind
I always get it up, for the touch of the’nfected kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Corona
Come a little closer, huh, a-will ya, huh?
Close enough to infect my eyes, Corona
Transmission’s a mystery, it gets to me
Running down the length of my mask, Corona
Never gonna stop, fevered up, such a germy mind
I always get it up, for the touch of the’nfected kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Corona
M-m-m-my Corona
When you gonna give to me, kerchief to me
Is it just a matter of time, Corona?
Is it d-d-destiny, d-destiny
Or is it just a game…
