Mr. Silly Posted March 6, 2020 Share #236 Posted March 6, 2020 A coronavirus patient's pet dog that tested positive for the virus last week is now "likely" the first case of human-to-animal transmission, health authorities said Wednesday. The dog was found to have a low-level infection of the coronavirus after being tested repeatedly for the disease, a spokesperson for Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) said in a statement.

Razors Edge ★ Posted March 6, 2020 Share #240 Posted March 6, 2020 1 minute ago, Kzoo said: Are the 13 in Nebraska all from the UoN infectious disease center and their quarantine center? Yes. California, Nebraska, Texas, Utah and Washington all got some. "Forty-three Americans who spent time aboard the ship, where the virus spread among passengers and crew members, were evacuated and treated in the United States. Those patients, who were flown out of Japan on two U.S. government flights, have received care at hospitals in California, Nebraska, Texas, Utah and Washington State. A specialized unit at Nebraska Medicine in Omaha treated 13 coronavirus patients from the ship. A handful had returned home by Thursday. But others remained hospitalized as tests continued to show the virus in their bodies. “One of the things, when we talked about what we don’t know yet, is how long does this hang on,” said Shelly Schwedhelm, Nebraska Medicine’s executive director of emergency management and biopreparedness."

And this is going to explode. Then it'll be -- I hope this isn't bad cuz everyone's got it, It's been repeated over and over here that folks have gotten and they don't know how. For all they know, it may take some incubation time to show up later. That's the concern I think. People are getting sick from unknown origins. I think we could all live with those numbers if we had a high degree of confidence that they won't get larger. But almost everything I'm reading including the scientific community -- they are expecting those numbers to grow very large in the next 6 months or so.

But when folks in your community -- the same one you travel through or spend time in daily -- start testing positive for the virus and they don't know where they contacted it from -- says this thing has been circulating in the community and they don't know how. To me that's the larger concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
