Synopsis

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/FXMiF8xZxmo   The novel Wuhan coronavirus is transmitted from an infected individual during the last 3 days of their incubation period in 2/3s of cases.  This from Wuhan public health scientists after studying 50 infection clusters that included 124 cases.   The calculated mean incubation period for CoVid-19 was just under 5 days and ranged from less than one day to 11 days.  Looking at those who contracted the virus secondarily, 73% of them were infected before those who infected them even developed symptoms themselves.   To halt the spread of virus, those in contact with an infected person up to a week before their diagnosis was made must be quarantined and tested.   https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.06.20031955v1.full.pdf   #covid19 #coronavirus #quarantine
