So they developed fevers 3-6 days after exposure? That sounds better than the week or two before symptoms from some places I've read.

The cause of the difference is that all exposures aren't equal.

Its theothetically possible to have a low grade slow burn that takes weeks to turn symptomatic due to a very very low infectious dose. These are why you see multi week periods before the "all clear" is sounded.

In normal practice flus, colds, and gastroenteritis pathogens make their presence known on far shorter time tables. You aren't exposed to a bare couple of thousand infectious agents, but tens or even hundreds of thousands.

Don’t you think if we have more people studying to scientists/researchers and them finding cures for diseases is better than people obsessed with American idol?

Are you trolling? I guarantee you there are plenty of scientists and doctors out there who watch a decent amount of sports and other forms of entertainment. Hell we have some on this board. Most people aren’t obsessed about celebrities to the point that they don’t have time to do productive things.

So this is where you will see how contagious this thing really is and how much 1st world environments impact the spread. Should know in the next day or two.

She is partly responsible for housewives that worship at the alter of Oprah and other celebrities thinking their child will get autism if they get the MMR vaccine

Years later and we still can't fully shake the damage done by people buying into that lie.

So the housewives should take more responsibility in focusing on basic science since they have plenty of free time?

That may doom you.


See the 1918 flu. It mainly killed healthy younger men.

Still weird the Chinese still being so quiet. Few words for blocking off major cities

They don't believe the science maybe? Or maybe they have told people but there is just an ignorant and dense population the information hasn't spread quite like it would in America. Or maybe it just isn't that bad where overreacting isn't a bad thing.

For comparison to sars:
