Coronavirus contagious before symptoms show: chief medical officer

So how will they know that the people on Christmas Island are free of the virus?
During the 14 days there someone could carry the virus and give to someone else on say the 10th day
and that person when released will come back to live here.
No one might show any symptoms there.

Chinese authorities have said the virus - like a normal flu - is able to spread during its incubation period.

But the WHO has said it remains unclear whether it is contagious before symptoms appear.

It was a top movie -
remember this?

Looks like Bojack v Me. Cheesy

The movie has something to say about now.

Definition of a scientist -
"a man who understood nothing until
there was nothing left to understand."

The scientists played around with bio weapons
thinking they understood what they were doing -
in the end they destroyed the world as there was nothing left.

seriously bobby when it comes to Quarantine they dont just pile more people into the same ward or rooms use your commonsense...they are doing their best to come up with a jab to stop this spreading just like measles....it needs to be stopped or it can become a plague........because of the speed it travels...think how lucky we are with our strict border control....not every country is like that.

There is no jab - no vaccine yet.
There might be one in 2 months - not 2 weeks.

Coronavirus: Australian scientists first to recreate virus outside China

8 hours ago.

Scientists in Australia have become the first to recreate the new coronavirus outside of China in what they have called a "significant breakthrough".

The discovery will be shared with the World Health Organization (WHO) in the hope it may help efforts to diagnose and treat the virus.

Scientists in China have also recreated the virus and shared its genome sequence, but not the virus itself.

The outbreak has killed 132 people in China and infected close to 6,000.

There are at least 47 cases confirmed in 16 other countries, including in Thailand, France, the US and Australia. No deaths have been reported outside China.

Now for what' ACTUALLY happening.

Right now, as we speak, planeloads of Aussie's and Chinese are walking right off planes in airports all around Australia.

The 600 Aussies being taken to Christmas Island are being evacuated from Hubei province.

No Chinese from Hubei province are 'walking off planes'.

In a sudden escalation of medical fears for more than 600 Australians trapped in China's Hubei province, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced an operation to pull vulnerable Australians out of the affected area.

This yet again goes to show how vulnerable the human race is, a slightly more infectious strain and who knows, we could be in panic mode.

I pull down my mask and put on protective eye ware whenever I see someone with slanted eyes these days, they shouldn't live so close to their animals, maybe this is just a warning shot or maybe this could be mass extinction.

Perhaps he should take a trip to Hawaii and let the adults handle this.
