We should quarantine all travelers from China and anyone who has been to Wuhan for 14 days at their departure site, before letting them travel into the US.

We now know the virus is contageous prior to symptoms appearing. I don't think we know how many days though. I've heard 5 days. Flu is one day. The Chinese health minister seemed to indicate 1 to 14 days.

That means people could be coming into the Us, without symptoms and we won't know it for another week. And THEN, the people they flue with may be coming down sick one to two weeks from now. So we could already have massive numbers of cases in the US, that have not started to show symptoms yet.

“We now know the virus is contageous prior to symptoms appearing. I don’t think we know how many days though. I’ve heard 5 days.”

One of the Fox doctors said as long as 14 days before symptoms appear. She also said that some of those who died did not have fever at all.

One video clip they showed had people at a U.S. airport getting off planes. Medical people with masks put a thermometer on the travelers’ foreheads, and if it read normal they were waved through. So if some have died without a fever, this seems like a really bad idea. Just stop all travel from China and surrounding countries.

I have read here and on other sites that the incubation time is 10-14 days.
