Wuhan Corona Virus Coming Soon? (Now Here)

State Health Director Bruce Anderson said...."As far as we know, the disease is not transmissible unless you become symptomatic, and then you’re worried mostly about people who are in close contact with the individual for prolonged periods of time.( I could  NOT  find this statement substantiated elsewhere ).   What I did find is posted below

Can 2019-nCoV be caught from a person who presents no symptoms? Understanding the time when infected patients may spread the virus to others is critical for control efforts. Detailed medical information from people infected is needed to determine the infectious period of 2019-nCoV. According to recent reports, it may be possible that people infected with 2019-nCoV may be infectious before showing significant symptoms. 

 How long does the virus survive on surfaces? It is still not known how long the 2019-nCoV virus survives on surfaces, although preliminary information suggests the virus may survive a few hours or more. Simple disinfectants can kill the virus making it no longer possible to infect people.

(air systems)
We know about environmental contamination for MERS-CoV and finding RNA in air filtration systems (but not the live virus). However, for the new coronavirus, we still need to see the data and understand how transmission has been assessed.

CDC DIRECTOR, DR. REDFIELD
Asymptomatic transmission is highly concerning One of the more concerning aspects of the hyper-virulent coronavirus is that a person can transmit it to others while showing no symptoms."There's been good communication with our colleagues to confirm asymptomatic infection, to confirm asymptomatic transmission, to be able to get a better handle on the clinical spectrum of illness in China. What we don't know though is how much of the asymptomatic cases are driving transmission," said Redfield.”
