UPDATE Wuhan coronavirus – 2019-nCoV Q&A #6: An evidence-based hypothesis


Dr. Daniel Lucey, who has responded to, and monitored information on outbreaks since 2001, has provided a series of updates and analysis on the outbreak, now an epidemic of 2019-nCoV, the novel coronavirus identified in Wuhan China, since Jan. 7.


How does this hypothesis help to explain the apparent rapid spread of the 2019-nCov across Wuhan and beyond, after its apparent initial emergence from the Huanan seafood market in December 2019?

The hypothesis is that the initial emergence of the virus was not the Huanan seafood market. Spread of the virus was already occurring person-to-person in October-November (or earlier) and gradually increasing into December. Thus, some of the 14 of the 41 patients who had no exposure to the Huanan seafood market (see page 3 Figure 1B) would be explained.

Thus, the presumed rapid spread of the virus apparently for the first time from the Huanan seafood market in December did not occur. Instead the virus was already silently spreading in Wuhan hidden amidst many other patients with pneumonia at this time of year.

Thus, some of the 14 cases with no exposure to the Huanan market out of the total 41 cases (see article page 3, figure 1B) could be explained by the pre-existing chains of transmission causing ongoing person-to-person transmission and/or transmission from infected animals (1 or more species) in other markets inside and/or outside Wuhan, or anywhere along the supply chain of infected animals.
 
Yawn... but orange man...it’s a poor, other era New Yorker attempt at lightening the message. His optics meter hasn’t worked for the same amount of decades his verbal filter has been broken. Some folks just don’t foam at the mouth over it.
Something that foams at the mouth usually gets shot 😂

It supposedly has been traced to a Horseshoe Bat, which supposedly wasn't sold in that market.
It's not native to the Wuhan area.

There is speculation that it was being tested in a lab in Wuhan and either infected someone in the lab and passed on or some of those tested made it to the nearby market.
 
Worth 100x their weight in gold... or 85x in palladium.

Now, if I can only find some Clorox to spray it down with periodically. View attachment 269874
If you only go out once every several days, I think the easiest thing you can do is just put it in a bag and wait for any virus to die off on its own. If you have multiple masks you could rotate them.
