SHANGHAI - A 70-year-old man in China’s Hubei Province was infected with coronavirus but did not show symptoms until 27 days later, the local government said on Saturday, meaning the virus’ incubation period could be much longer than the presumed 14 days. A longer incubation period could complicate efforts to contain spread of the epidemic that has so far killed more than 2,000 people and spread outside China.

The man, only identified by his family name, Jiang, on Jan. 24 drove his car back to Shennongjia, in northwestern Hubei, from eastern Ezhou, where he had close contact with his sister, who had been infected, according to the government website of Hubei, the virus epicentre. He had a fever on Feb. 20 and tested positive for coronavirus a day later, according to the government statement.

If this is true it would cause real problems. E.g. in my Chinese course some people just came back from China, incl. teacher, put themselves in volontary quarantine for 14days, & then went back to normal social life like many people in their situation. coronavirus Coronavirius

263,200,000 deaths projected by time “Covid19” A.K.A. “The Killer Corona Virus!” completes its wrath of Death & Destruction across the earth! BuckleUp! Folks it’s gonna be a Bumpy Ride!

How did CORVID virus get to Milano , most likely from across the border from the french Ski resort Alps most likely Contamines-Montjoie Where the SUPER SPREADER Virus GUY infected everyone , carried back down the E25 motorway by someone back to Italy only 185 miles

If those colours are genuine you have to admit it is a pritty virus.

It seems that this f*ing virus is becoming more complex day by day. coronavirus

This looks like the one in annihilation

Thank God😂🤩

H

Even longer than that. Heard 42 days. The bottom line is that the CDC and WHO are putting everyone at risk by not telling the public the wear masks, goggles, earplugs...whatever it is! Stop thinking we can’t handle the truth and everyone will panic and cause more deaths! Tell us!

I saw this earlier. It’s horrible news.

Crazy

China is a fu*king threat to the world!!

Fakenews.

RememberPaoli No one has yet announced how long Coronavirus can last on surfaces (i.e. grocery carts, public transportation, etc). Highly contagious. SARS can last 9 days. MRSA can last several weeks!

julesbeton this is fake news

fxmacro It’s just the flu, bro

Y'all know what happens 28 Days Later

So because everything is made in China these days. Factory workers could be hosts for this virus, touch all the products they manufacture, those get shipped around the world and voila, a never ending global pandemic! Great...

Didn't NK go straight to 30 day quarantine? Or had they 14 days time period first too? covid19

I'm sure the right exact number is 28 days later

China is a responsible and transparent nation. It frankly tells the world everything. WHO also trust it.

We dead. It’s been real guy. Perhaps the next species that come after us will have better respect for the environment and love for their own people.

Yeah, let's trust anything they have to say, given they've hidden the true death toll by going on initial symptoms and not presence of the disease in tests, listing many deaths as pneumonic and not part of it, despite the deceased testing positive for it.

What if that person was cured without knowing to be infected, just to be re-infected again? It was already in the news this was happening. coronavirus COVID covid19 SARSCoV2

So WHO is responsible for spread corona after 14 days quarantine !?

Could coronavirus be on materials leaving China?

27 days? Let's estimate how many asymptomatic carriers are walking around...

Thus the quarantine of minimum 14 days is essential to avoid further spread of the virus in cities.

1 of the first cases was a women and I swear I had seen 30 days.

So, whoever travel to china have to quarantine themselves like 1 month. This is like 28 days later movie...CoronavirusOutbreak

This whole coronavirus covid19 discussion reminds me of an auction. Who bids more... reminds me of the power of virus vs alien waroftheworlds At the end, the aliens curiously stand paralysed when infected. Survivors confirm that they were infected by an airborne virus.

We are on the edge of a pandemic. Everyone should really take all precautions.

Did you just say 27 days?

coronavirus having a long incubation period than 14 days was reported quite a few days ago ..not new news . COVID19

STAHHHHP

Oh well that's very handy Dearié! ÝÙĶ!

This some scary info

I would double that to be safe and also to work on a cure 👍🏽🙏🏽🤔🤨🤞🏽❤️🇺🇸❤️🌎

time to release my inner rick grimes

Gawd. This thing almost acts like it has a timer on it.

BS...he might got from touching any surface or by contact with asymptomatic person in these very long 27 days. Stop panicking people with no real evidence or scientific studies. If this is true then at least 1 billion people is infected as of today.

How does that affect my 401K?

Now they tell us. Are some trump trained administrators working in the Chinese government?

Oh my, THAT is not good at all. 😳

Excuse for incompetence or fact?

42 days from other news

China made so? So that the virus can be spread deadly?

Someone should really tell JustinTrudeau and adriandix who couldn’t be making worse decisions for Canadians. 6 cases in Vancouver now which on a per capita basis must be highest in North America. They have no idea what they’re doing.

A month? 🥴

Ohh... so we’re doomed?

Yeah. So it wasn’t closed down and let people out to spread it worldwide. Good going again China !

that’s sad though, not gonna lie

.. or it could be a couple guys walking around spraying it on the plants ..
