Confirmed cases on that cruise ship are now up to 130. This will be a great case study.

Cruise ship is pretty much worst case scenario. So much common, shared area.

I read they're all getting refunds and a voucher for another cruise at no cost. I'm sure they're all excited to take another cruise soon.

If you die of organ failure or pneumonia you aren’t part of that total quoted.


Not true.

ETA - especially the pneumonia part. Hell, pneumonia is what goes on your death certificate if you die from the flu in the US. That's pretty standard stuffy. You're still in the total though.

Plague masks should fit right in this time of year.

Yea, I would like to see a link for that. There is a paper coming out that says it can be up to 4 weeks from first signs of infection until the pneumonia sets in. People might be confusing the two.

LINK. Preprint but not peer reviewed.

From Zhong Nanshan-epidemiologist who discovered SARS.

Median incubation is 3 days with a range of 0-24 days.

I'd like to know how they figure that. I know they're trying to trace contacts, but you're relying on people to remember what other people they've contacted. Seems pretty unscientific, albeit, the best they can do under the circumstances.

Fwiw, BNODesk wasn't counting asymptomatic cases from countries that reported them anyway.

ETA - appears they are counting asymptomatic if it's reported by a reputable source. However, Japan doesn't count asymptomatic cases in their official numbers, for example.

I don't think this is true. From their notes:

Japan: The total includes 4 asymptomatic cases, which are not included in the government’s official count.

They aren't reporting them unless they get them from somewhere reputable. I edited.

The better point is that some counties don't include asymptomatic cases in their count already - Japan obviously being one.
