Of course this would happen after we plan a SE Asia trip (including Beijing) for April. Hopefully it clears up...

Greaaaaaaaaat, now we found the culprit that is bringing it back here to the states.

I'll just make a note to report this to the proper authorities so that they quarantine you....

Furthermore....don't bring any monkeys back as pets.

My chauffeur's pick up primarily at NYC area airports including arrivals at JFK/EWR from China nearly every day and often several times a day.

Then they spend the next 1-3 hours in a sealed car driving back to Connecticut.

Then said drivers come back to the dispatch office and hand in paperwork/keys.

Yep .... I'm doomed.

They should give out uv goggles and just flood the planes trains buses with wide spectrum uv.

@zinfamous can you explain this for me. I believe it relates to your job.

I saw a discovery TV show a long time ago, I forgot most of the show but I remember one part about most viruses originate in China because chickens & pigs live in close proximity to each other.
*I think* it went, chickens feed where cows poop, they get sick from some cow virus that mutates in the chicken, chickens then poop near the pigs which mutates the virus more, chickens eat near pig poop and now the virus has mutated enough to be contagious to humans.
Something about each step made infecting the next animal possible. Sort of remember hearing if China just farmed like nearly anywhere else in the world and kept chickens separated from pigs we would have far fewer viruses.
I think the mutating in a pig made it possible to reinfect birds and also made it possible to infect humans after the birds.

Sorry for being so vague and my order is likely messed up.
I'm not sure there is necessarily that many jumps, but this is basically how it works. "The Next Pandemic" segment on that Netflix series Explained has a bit that walks through this pretty succinctly.

I'd be more weary too because when we order masks to protect our families....they're probably going to be MADE IN CHINA.

Thanks, ever since watching that I’ve been like why can’t China keep their pigs, cows & chicken separated like nearly everywhere else in the world.

it does bring up a question, how long does it survive on a surface? could the Chinese government put a bunch of infected people in a factory to cough all over goods being shipped to the US?

I’m no expert but a virus surviving days or weeks on a surface doesn’t sound right

flu virus live about 24 hrs and cold viruses live up to 7 days. have not seen any spec this one.

found a study on SARS ( related virus) that says it can last days on a surface, and its likely that some people got infected from surfaces at hospitals when that out break occurred.
