Just ordered my masks (n99 ones) and saw that some were selling out...FYI..the irony doesn’t not escape that the masks maybe made in China....

They come preloaded with coronavirus.
I'm seeing new cases in Sri Lanka, Macau, and Cambodia - but all had been in Wuhan.
What sources are you using to get updates?
Twitter for the finding and then source quality-control and then, sometimes, additional Googling for confirmation.
I'm basically just regularly sifting through Twitter searches. Of course, you can only rely on certain categories of accounts (news and journalists that are credible, national health services accounts, certain academics, etc.).
Yeah, I'm just not much of a Twitter user. Can't remember the last time I logged in. My son reads reddit regularly, so sometimes he'll pass on something interesting. I tend to get most of my current/breaking news here. Thanks.
Ecuador appears to have it's first case, also a person from Wuhan.
Seeing some stuff on reddit that a teacher in Canada is claiming that one of her students was on the same plane last week as the couple from Wuhan that have been confirmed. She is stating the child is now sick but has not been tested. If true, it really is interesting to see how these secondary sickness cases are being handled. So far, very few tests have been done on anyone that hasn't been in Wuhan. As Chuck has suggested, the secondary infections are going to be the ones that are telling but they aren't showing up and they aren't being tested.
Well, in order to confirm secondary cases we have to test for them and right now we are not. Problem is, the testing has to be sent to CDC or a single lab in China so all resources for testing are backed up. Hard to justify testing the secondary cases that are being watched when they can't keep up with the primary. Tests that can be delivered to state and regional labs will speed up that process some but that is still a few weeks away.I wonder if the longer period of time is takes for symptoms to show up will affect how long it takes to start seeing secondary cases. With it being contagious before symptoms show is concerning and maybe need to wait and see before making any sort of call on the status of the epidemic. Just a thought.
