So she had symptoms and now gone? Or was tested positive and never showed symptoms?
Posted on 2/1/20 at 10:59 pm to Lsut81
one article says her only symptom was a mild cough and that she was symptom free by the time she was diagnosed...she is still under observation...the man also tested positive for influenza b and streptococcus pneumonia...he already had pneumonia, fever, cough and sore throat when he was admitted on the 25th, 4 days after they arrived...

So likely both caught it in Wuhan and she just had a stronger immune system.

WTF does that even mean..
Not acquired in PH?
They are both from Wuhan, so wherever she got it from, likely contaminated food, would be the same place he got it.

I read that men are slightly more susceptible to the virus.

Central Washington University student tested for coronavirus

ELLENSBURG, Wash. -- Health officials say a student at Central Washington University is being tested for Wuhan coronavirus.
The Kittitas County Health Department said Thursday that the student became ill and may have been exposed to the virus when they recently traveled internationally. The person is voluntarily in isolation, according to a release.
Test results were expected within two to three days and the student will remain in isolation until the results are available.

Again, a real nothingburger in my mind... Although, the media will run with “first death outside of China” even though its misleading and just a scare tactic

China says everybody who does in Wuhan from the virus should be cremated quickly as possible with no funerals for them.

By the time we stop the movement of these people it will be too late. Then when it spreads everywhere slackster will say “see travel bans aren’t effective”.
According to the WHO’s meta analysis on the efficacy of travel bans for pandemic airborne pathogens (specifically a novel flu strain, but there are a lot of crossover in assumptions to this), a 99.9% effective quarantine conducted for the US starting within 2 weeks of the index case, only delays the population infection curve by a week or two.
The longest evaluation had it being delayed by 35 days.
Under no circumstances does it stop it.

From your article
Valuable time to learn about the virus, best ways to treat it, and develop a vaccine.

Extensive restriction of international air travel might delay introduction of a pandemic into a country by up to 2 months and delay pandemic spread by 3–4 months

Why?
They'll claim that it's to contain the virus.
The main reasons are to 1) keep people from sharing news; 2) limit public displays that reflect poorly on the government; and 3) prevent any form of public gathering that could potentially lead to organized protests down the road.
