A Chinese man who tested positive for coronavirus fell sick on a family vacation to Mexico before he flew back to Los Angeles, according to a report. The 38-year-old man, who was only identified as Q.L., traveled Jan. 20 to Mexico City on a Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles, the Mexican newspaper Milenio reported. Upon arrival, the man took an Uber to the Hotel Hilton Mexico City Reforma, where he was staying with his family, according to the report. The next day, they had breakfast in the hotel before roaming around the city’s tourist sights, the report said. The group walked about a mile to the Catedral Metropolitana, went to a museum and ate tacos at a local restaurant, the outlet reported. Later that evening, he began to feel ill and the next day took an Uber back to the airport, where he flew back with his family on an American Airlines flight to LA, the report said. American Airlines confirmed that a passenger from the flight received medical attention upon arrival and was transported to a local medical center for “precautionary reasons.”

I got flu when i was a kid and I have vague memories of hallucinations. I was sitting on the sofa with a fever and filled with medication and there was this dancing red thing swimming around the room. Might be a false memory though.

Like, for them it'll only ever be a sore throat and a runny nose? Edit: To clarify, I'm not quite understanding the conclusion of your post; that, based on the idea that people can transmit the wuflu if they just have a sore throat, that there are likely to be many people who have flu-like symptoms, actually have the wuflu, don't know it, but it will never progress to a serious enough state that they'll self-quarantine or be admitted into hospital?

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:Would this mean that those who only show mild symptoms (such as the person going to work with a sore throat in your example) would not develop severe symptoms? Like, for them it'll only ever be a sore throat and a runny nose? For the first part of your post, I think no. Having mild symptoms at first doesn't guarantee you won't develop more severe symptoms later on. But so far it does seem to be that a lot of cases don't progress past that point--but being at that point doesn't guarantee it won't get worse. (A lot of the stories of coronavirus patients outside China, for example, are basically 'someone came back from Wuhan, got symptomatic a few days later, quarantined at home, tested positive, and recovered after a few days of cold symptoms'). To your edit, I think the tweet thread was talking about two different things. One is that there are a lot of mild cases (and apparently especially among younger, healthier people), which is good. The other is that a lot of people with mild cases won't even realize they have something worse than the common cold, which means they won't stay home from work, which means they infect more people, and that means that in the aggregate you end up with more severe cases, whether because some people with mild symptoms get worse over time or because some of the people infected by those with mild symptoms go straight to severe symptoms.

I don't know where the "twice as deadly" is coming from, this has an about 2% mortality rate (from confirmed cases, which is important as it seems mild cases are just being ridden out at home). It's infected a bit more than three times as many people now, officially, as SARS did in its entire run though.

vyelkin posted:It's possible, but 14 days is the maximum incubation period of the disease that we know of based on both observing current patients and theorizing based on the disease structure. So if someone still isn't showing symptoms after 14 days, they're likely either not infected or entirely asymptomatic. Also worth mentioning that although it appears there is asymptomatic transmission, it seems to be less than we thought at first--a few of the cases that were thought to be asymptomatic, it turned out the person was showing symptoms and just didn't notice or ignored them, like the lady in Germany who it turned out did have a fever and was taking anti-fever medication for it when she gave that presentation and infected the German nationals. And in at least one of their briefings one of the WHO doctors said they think that while the disease is still contagious before symptoms present, it's less contagious during asymptomatic incubation than it is once symptoms start and the patient is coughing and sneezing everywhere. The Oldest Man posted:
Well tbh it really depends. Like it says here, most unvaccinated people infected with an influenza virus don't show any symptoms, and of those that do show symptoms most cases are mild enough that they don't see a doctor (and this is in the UK, where seeing a doctor is free). What distinguishes the common cold from the flu when we're talking about things colloquially is really just severity. A cold is a mild viral respiratory tract infection and the flu is a more severe viral respiratory tract infection. About 20% of cases of the 'common cold' are caused by coronavirus, and 10-15% are caused by influenza, for example. I'm saying this as someone who's nearly died from viral respiratory tract infections about twice now. Unless you go to a hospital and they do an antibody test for rhinovirus vs adenovirus vs influenza vs coronavirus (which would only happen if you're severely ill or there's a pandemic situation going on and you're deemed to be at risk) you're not going to know what particular virus is causing the respiratory tract infection. So someone could be walking around with a mild fever and a bit of a cough and get better after a week after unknowingly exposing everyone else in the office to influenza while they powered through it just fine on paracetamol/tylenol and caffeine. Or someone could have a runny nose and a sore throat for a few days and think they have a cold before whatever virus they're infected with migrates down into their lungs and they spend the next week bed-bound with fever wracked with joint aches convinced they have the flu. Anyway that chinese woman who had been "asymptomatic" but not really is really pretty par for the course, is part of what I'm getting at. If you have symptoms of a mild respiratory infection, all you know is that you have a mild respiratory infection. The majority of people in that situation would just take some painkillers and some coffee go to work. Not everyone who has this new coronavirus is going to have severe symptoms, or a rapid onset of severe symptoms at least, and unless they have reason to think that they might be at risk for coronavirus, then they won't think twice about it. Some people, like that guy who exposed 3000-4000 people to the coronavirus by going to a wedding, just won't give a poo poo even if they do know they're a risk because they feel fine and they care more about their own convenience. EDIT: This is exactly what I mean.
