I probably should have ordered a contamination suit before the body armour!

Yes 60%, IF left unchecked. But I'd wager we have a fairly good grasp on the situation, so far. That 18% CFR presented earlier is in my opinion due to Chinese government leaving things left unchecked at the outset. 2% CFR is probably closer to what can be achieved when proper quarantine and treatment is administered by competent authority. Though 2% is still too much considering the entire ordeal would have been prevented if Chinese officials could better regulate what the hell people can eat over there.
disclaimer: these are just my happy thoughts hehe

Saw for the first time here three people wearing surgical facemasks. I would say all three were Asian. Interesting most people ignore them but a few avoided them walking around a table in the bookshop I was in.

An additional 40 people have been confirmed infected aboard Diamond Princess.

Maybe they should rename the ship Virus Princess. |

Cruise of a Lifetime would not be a good marketing shtick right now. Damn, this gets more worrying by the day.

Spells someone on the ship, a crewman perhaps, has the virus or somehow the ship's air supply system has been compromised and is still spreading the disease.

Furthermore, scientists believe the incubation period can last up to 14 days, plus they believe the virus can survive outside the body for up to 9 days (especially on metal surfaces). So, from the time one person starts to show symptoms until the next person becomes (indirectly) infected by touching a surface contaminated by the first infected person and later starts to show symptoms, we're looking at up to 40 days maximum between confirmed infections. Think of it this way: On February 1st, a man becomes infected with coronavirus. He shows no symptoms until February 14 (14 days later), when he comes down with a fever. Thinking he has influenza, he goes to the drugstore for some cold medicine. While shopping, he sneezes into his hand, and then touches the shopping cart handle. On February 23 (9 days later), I go to the same drugstore for some toilet paper, and by chance, get the same shopping cart. While pushing the cart, I get the virus on my hands. When I get home, I forget to wash my hands before eating. I am now infected. I show no symptoms until March 8 (14 days later), when I too come down with a fever. By then, I have possibly infected some of my family members, co-workers, friends, or complete strangers. I may even indirectly infect them through contaminated surface contact 9 days later after I first start showing symptoms. The above example with maximum incubation periods and surface survival rates is of course not probable, but rather possible to show what a worse-case scenario could look like .

If true, things are set to become very interesting.
