Ferrari Mailing List: Re: FYI

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Read this morning an interesting article from a noted analyst.  Up
until recently, there were around 80 flights per day from China to the
US.  The virus was more or less discovered in mid-January, but
epidemic specialists say that infers infections likely started in
December, if not earlier.  So we had roughly 2 months of flights with
possible infected persons on board.  Given the estimated transmission
rate of 2.5 to 3.5, it's entirely possible that the US has thousands -
probably 10s of thousands - of undiagnosed Corona cases (no, not
thousands of cases of beer.....) currently in this country.  Since
hospitals are charging $3000 for testing, few symptomatic people are
getting tested.  I know I won't shell out the funds personally.  Have
you had a persistent cough or perhaps some feverish episodes?  You
might be carrying!
