I cannot even fathom in my mind how this could spread at it has from one person, a patient zero.

That concept is mind blowing, honestly. If it did happen then this contagion is incredible.

Patient 0 is the Snohomish County, Washington man who flew in from Wuhan on January 21. He was saved by the Everett hospital using the Gilead drug which now undergoing testing.

He flew from Wuhan to Sea-Tac so it is likely he contaminated people on the plane as well as in the Airports. I do not know how he traveled from Sea-Tac to Everett so likely some mass transportation.

His strain of the virus is supposed to be the strain responsible for the many deaths in the Life Care center here in Kirkland, Washington.

You really don’t understand viruses then

It is how all viruses spread. There is always a patient zero. The problem is where has that person been? How many people has he been in contact with? How many of them have come down Dick?

You just haven’t paid attention over the years

It is basic math. Logarithmic progression.

Basic epidemiology.
