If there was any chance at all that this was an airborn bio weapon , do you guys think they would let people just self isolate at home here in the states?
Can anyone who even thinks bio weapon is a possibility tell me why they do that ? or why they would let the POTUS the VP and SOS, basically the whole government all in the same room with 100s of other PUBLIC figures ?
Valerie Painter, who regularly uses the Royal Sussex County Hospital, has an impaired immune system, which puts her at an increased risk of death should she contract the virus. The worried Hove woman is calling on the Department of Health and Social Care to release more information about the patient. She said: "The population of Brighton and Hove is very densely populated. We are living cheek by jowl in tiny streets close together. Where has this person been on the buses and trains? What kind of tracing are the authorities doing?"
5:41pm Latest There is still no official confirmation the latest coronavirus case was found in Brighton. All government agencies are refusing to go into more detail. The Royal Sussex County Hospital is open as normal.

Tbh you quarantine and test until dead, or recovered and tested long enough to say it’s not there on 2 or more occasions anything less is wreckless

I know one of the first docs to be on the front lines did die of the virus.
Understand, if this is a novel strain, our immune systems have not seen it before, and they will react very, very strongly. In some cases, that reaction will kill us, not the virus itself.

I wonder if its because the 1st tests are negative but they have to wait a certain amount of time and test again and again to be sure.
This, combined with the fact that despite the doom-sayers on here, the virus simply isn't spreading anywhere close to 'wildfire' outside mainland china, leads me to believe one of the hypothesis' I read on the first thread is more likely...
