Fourth Case reported in the US, in Los Angeles: https://6abc.com/health/4th-case-of-new-coronavirus-confirmed-in-us/5879796/
from what I learned working in daycare most viruses can be transferred before symptoms show. if I remember correctly it is like 24 to 48 hours before. which is why they run thru daycares so fastCNN reporting that transmission is occurring during the incubation period (before people develop symptoms.). That is really bad.
5th US case confirmed, in Arizona.
Another person who travelled to where the virus originated in China. It seems like that’s the case for all the people in the US.
Given the 2-14 day incubation period, it’s going to be a week or so before we know if any of these “first-generation” cases lead to local transmission.Another person who travelled to where the virus originated in China. It seems like that’s the case for all the people in the US.
It isn't 'inevitable', at all.I share your concern. We have a WDW trip booked for 2/25-3/6. Seems inevitable that this will hit WDW by then.
I rented DVC, purchased tickets through Undercover Tourist, and didn't purchase flight insurance, so I'm totally screwed. Going to look into purchasing third-party travel insurance if it isn't too late.
I agree it can’t be compared to the flu but it can be compared to SARS and Ebola which were both deadlier than this virus. Both of those pandemics were contained so assuming right now that it will be all over the US might be jumping the gun.
Too late now but we shouldn't be allowing anyone in the country who originated from the Wuhan area at ALL. If they are US residents returning from the area they should be held in a two week quarantine. Seems like weve been incredibly sloppy so far allowing people in from that region.
Maybe because people in this lawsuit happy country started suing the government over being put in a quarantine after traveling to the US from Ebola affected areas a few years ago. Unfortunately lawsuits have a history of negatively affecting future government policies.This is what I said from day one when the news broke. Why, WHY, didn't they put an immediate quarentine in place?
It's not inevitable that it will get to WDW by 2/25 but it does seem very reasonable that it will eventually get there, for many reasons having not just to do with the virus, but also when & where it first started. It may be that the best thing we can hope for is that the global spread is slowed long enough for a vaccine to be developed; and that said transmission occurs over the course of the next year or two instead of over the next few months, which might tax even the US's health care system.It isn't 'inevitable', at all.

If I were going to WDW (our anywhere) this year, I'd definitely try not to buy a package, but something that could be cancelled closer to the date.
Also, if the trip has been charged on a Chase Sapphire, read the fine print. People may have travel insurance and not even know it, though I don't know if it applies in a situation like this. Probably companies will institute a cut-off date by which time you had to have purchased the insurance, e.g. mid-December (before the public knew there was a problem), in order to be covered.
You realize people are dying, right?I am one with the Force and the Force is with me!!!!
And I sense my lines for our trip getting shorter and shorter as the days go by.
