It's still not time to panic but I am even less excited than usual to be traveling through major airports later this week

You were excited to be travelling through giant malls?

At least when I was a kid you could get straight from checkin to the gate without being forced to walk through a mall or buy a first class ticket

So like with all these cases in countries like Germany and whatnot did they confirm that the incubation period is actually two weeks without symptoms? Are other people being quarantined besides the infected?

Reports have always said that incubation has been between 1 and 14 days. Transmission has previously been confirmed in cases where the person was asymptomatic but it's unclear how that really occurs

People who aren't showing symptoms are of course not being quarantined

Can anyone recommend book/movies on virus outbreaks? Epidemiology is so fascinating.
