Considering that the virus has an incubation period of somewhere between 1-14 days (as yet unclear), and was spreading from a major city and travel hub beginning already in December, but that it wasn't fully identified until later on in mid-January, and full-on panic and awareness of the disease has only really started in the last few days as it mutated and became more contagious - wouldn't it be plausible that an earlier and less contagious mutation of the virus could have emerged and spread around the world over the past few weeks without being recognized, having been misdiagnosed as a winter flu or common pneumonia? And it's only now being recognized everywhere because people are suddenly testing for it?

Story time, a friend of mine lives in Wuhan. He was able to get a flight out last week to Hainan province where his wife was already staying with her family. He said things had been pretty uneventful, and that they had rented a place near a resort and had been staying in. Early this morning, he told me that someone at the security gate reported that people with Hubei license plates were staying at the condo. That's them. Landlord calls the police. Landlord tries to make them move into a hotel with quarantined people from Wuhan. They refuse as his wife is pregnant. The police don't make them leave, presumably because he's American. The property manager says they can stay but implies they need to keep quiet because he can't do anything about the neighbors if they find out. My friend is scared that if anyone realizes they are there that a mob will kick them out. Being from Wuhan is to be a pariah. Last he'd heard, there were five confirmed cases in the city he's in. He was surprised to hear that I had already seen a lot of the videos coming out of Wuhan hospitals. According to him, the feeling is that the city and provincial governments really screwed up, and now that the national government is involved that it will be ok. I don't feel that way.

Shits real y'all

So let me see if I understand this thing correctly given I am no doctor.

1. This virus is transmissible though bodily fluids and possibly airborne.

2. Our best test kits are 20-30 percent effective and only show really good results when you are just crawling with it.

3. You could have the virus for a long period of time (A week to 20 days) without showing symptoms and be spreading that poo poo. Kissing my mum might kill her.

4. There is no outright cure that isn't a loving joke like drinking bleach and silver.

5. The face masks are worthless and the ones that could work suck to wear and need to be fitted.

6. Old people and smokers have a higher risk of death.

7. This virus is appearing worldwide. Efforts to contain it are either failing or were not fast enough. Given the success rate of the test kits and their limited availability who knows how big this really is.

8. The best defense I as an individual could take against it is washing my loving hands and just using purell constantly and suppressing the nagging and subconscious feeling of touching my face.

9. If I do catch it its gonna be like a turbo flu and would require a hospital visit.

10. Don't trust China. China is asshoe.

Am I getting any of this rundown wrong? Because it makes me NEED a cigarette.

at least wearing a mask will (hopefully) cause you to touch your face less
