        BREAKING NEWS
        Coronavirus cases may have been spreading in Wuhan and Seattle weeks before first detected: researchers




        https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/511818-coronavirus-cases-may-have-been-spreading-in-wuhan-and-seattle-weeks-before

        Thousands of cases of the novel coronavirus may have circulated undetected in both Wuhan, China, and Seattle early in the pandemic, according to research from the University of Texas-Austin published in The Lancet.

        The research suggests that by the time lockdowns were imposed in both cities, the early epicenters of their respective countries, the virus may have already been spreading for weeks.
        The results indicated there could have been more than 12,000 undetected but symptomatic cases in Wuhan by the time the city locked down on Jan. 23. In the meantime, by the time Seattle closed schools on March 9, there were likely more than 9,000 undetected cases. (I have a hard time believing that it was just Seattle that had cases that early......Can anyone say New York??)

        “As the virus started spreading in cities across the United States and cities across the world, probably by the time we started detecting cases, it’s likely that the virus had been spreading for several weeks, if not months,” Lauren Ancel Meyers, a professor of integrative biology and statistics and data sciences, told the Austin American-Statesman.

        Like I've said before on this and other threads, "Experts across the Globe have agreed that the virus was already in their countries before first being detected, and there was literally nothing ANYONE could have done to stop the spread." (Those experts said that back in March).

        Thanks china. You fuckin' dirty communists. Oh, and if you still believe that china really has such low numbers, then you are ignorant, braindead and lack ANY common sense.

          Try to read at least the first sentence of any link you provide in the future.

          "A mask may not protect the wearer, but it may keep the wearer from spreading the virus to others. "

              The word "may" used in this context at least in the English I was taught is not the same as "prevent" as originally quoted by you.

                                Also for everyone's understanding, there is no solid proof that they do work.
