I thought it was spread by a worker there.Gee whiz, so much for that theory, lol.

Makes me suspect there's a transmission factor as yet undiscovered.Or just look at the cruise ship. All of those people were infected after they made everyone stay in their cabins. I think they each had designated outside time but I am sure they were told to keep their distance from each other.
From what we know, it takes a while to get to that state. So while it looks like the US (and the UK for that matter) aren't getting particularly hit by it, it may be that it actually is spreading, but it just hasn't had time to get to the point where it's hospitalising significant numbers of people.It's getting a little tin foil hat in here. I think somebody made a good point earlier that if we had more cases than being reported we would hear of people needing respirators in hospitals as well as other things like healthcare workers in full protective gear.
They all had the same recirculated air, infected crew moved freely throughout the ship.Or just look at the cruise ship.

Not SARS ... but the swine flu (same as H1N1, a specific strain I think) wasn't disruptive in the U.S. if memory serves.America is where Super Viruses go to die SARS, PIG FLU, H1/N1, and probably The Corona Virus.
I'd have to read about this.There is a psychiatric hospital that confirmed 99 out of 102 patients. They were all in isolated room without contact.
According to the WHO, around 80% of people recover without needing special treatment. Around 1 in 6 become seriously ill with breathing difficulties.got a question... ok.. 3% death rate.
But how long does a person have this? Can a person get over this without going to the hospital? Is the recovery 100%

As for how long, it seems to vary, from a couple of weeks of little or no symptoms, to six weeks or more.
That's the general outline of it. The exact figures may well shift as time goes on and we can get a better handle on it. But the general shape of it - the severity and duration of symptoms varies quite a lot, a small but significant number of people develop severe symptoms, but people do mostly recover without hospital treatment - is pretty solid at this point I'd say.

I'm gonna throw out a theory on maybe why we haven't seen an explosion of cases here yet. Maybe it's cultural? What I'm thinking is we tend not to greet one another with hugs and kisses unless it's a spouse or relative. And generally, when having a casual conversation, we do so at a fairly greater distance than many other countries. Also, it seems we worry more about being clean, take more showers and have access to over the counter remedies than a lot of other nations.
Even though there have been scant few tests done, it sure seems like we've dodged the proverbial bullet to this point. That can all turn on a dime, but I was just thinking about why we've had so few cases here. It's a bit weird to be honest.
