PIZZA.BAT posted:To put things in perspective in the US we're at the point where China wasn't even aware of the problem and Japan is maybe at the point where doctors were aware but the gov't was still ignoring it. If things have broken out in Japan that means we either need to close all travel to Japan as well or accept that the quarantine has failed If Japan couldn't keep this disease under quarantine it's a lost cause for the rest of the world. That doesn't mean this is a doomsday infection either though.

rear end in a top hat comedian posted:"How long is it going to take to get all those results back? Because I've got an engagement on the 20th of February," he told KOMO News, adding he speaks on suicide prevention and wouldn't get paid if he didn't make it. Somehow I'm guessing that speaking engagement couldn't be more cancelled if a radioactive comet had hit the convention center.

Remember how Shin Godzilla was a rebuke of Japanese disaster response and bureaucratic fuckery? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtHYZkLuKcI Edit: TLDR, there was never a proper quarantine set up on the ship. Nobody who has actually dealt with infectious disease was in charge. When someone who actually had experience in dealing with H1N1 class diseases tried to get involved he was shot down three different ways and had to sneak on board just to find out what the Christ was going on.

So question, this Westerdam ship wasn't allowed to dock anywhere in Asia yet managed to have an infected American woman on board. Do we know where she got it? I can't find any article that says where the ship docked. So how did the virus get on board?

I can't find any article that says where the ship docked. So how did the virus get on board? Official statements are that it's unknown where she got it, but the ship docked in Hong Kong and that's when other countries started to turn away the ship. Literally the first article that came up when I searched for "westerdam": "The ship visited Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, according to marinetraffic.com. But after departing Hong Kong on February 1, where 768 guests joined the boat, that it quickly became unwelcome in ports around the region." https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/18/asia/westerdam-cruise-infection-coronavirus-intl-hnk/index.html

We learned quite a bit with the Diamond Princess. It’s highly virulent despite quarantine measures. I can buy that many got sick due to handling of food, but there were workers who came aboard with barriers and had zero contact with passengers and ended up with it. Some patients test for it but are completely symptomatic. Others have symptoms that are mistakable for common cold, or at worst mild flu, and at this stage wouldn’t lead the public at large to seek medical treatment. Chance it’s spreading horizontally in the population, globally, is high. Chance of isolating in the few vertical towers that are known to the public are low. And I’d have to build an Excel model, but difference between a 1.28 and a 3 R0 is profound, depending on the time horizon. Exponentials kick in rather quickly. Other thing that’s not being commonly factored (at least that I’ve seen) is the average length a patient is contagious. With flu, it’s 3-5 days. I don’t know the answer, but with COVID-19, it might be considerably longer.
