Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

As a contrast to that article above.

Sweden said tonight that stockholm had 11% infected or who had been infected as of last week and believed it was around 25% today.

Not easy to get good info these days. At least not to varify it.

Just enough asymptotic carriers to spread the virus, not anything like enough for herd immunity without crippling healthcare. Feels like lockdown until we have a vaccine to me.

I know anecdote is not the singular of data, but as far as I can tell I spent 4 hours in a car on March 14th sitting next to a guy who went symptomatic the next day, on the way back from a ski holiday where I was eating, drinking, car-sharing, bubble-lift sharing and lift queuing with 100 people at least 4 of whom reported symptoms over the next two weeks, and one of whom had a horrible cough that he'd picked up in an Austrian ski resort but insisted he didn;t have CV and coughed all over us for a week.

So I spent the next 3 weeks convinced I was about to get C19. But it never showed up. So from my sample of 100, either it's much less infectious than we've been lead to believe or a lot of us were asymptomatic.
