Folks ( neighbors ) cross the road from me decided to have a family get together today.  Bout a dozen cars over there as far as I can tell - looks like a family bar b q .  Full up with babies to old timers.  I guess they didn't see the news for the last month.

Eh...if everyone there has been isolated for the past three weeks, the odds of spreading anything are really low.

Unfortunately, that's wildly innaccurate. According to Colorado data, approximately 50% of carriers are asymptomatic. Over 80% of carriers under 30 are asymptomatic.

I highly doubt that everyone at the party has had no contact with the virus.  Just a gut feeling.

Sure, but does the virus persist in the body and remain contagious for weeks on end? I haven’t seen anything about that.

I didn’t realize you were in CO. Anyway, Im just saying if they all feel confident that their exposure has been limited via self isolation then they are prob ok. Who knows though. Just playing devils advocate.

Yeah, that's the problem. With so many asymptomatic or mild symptom carriers combined with atrocious access to testing, we honestly have no idea who's carrying this virus and potentially contagious.

This isn't the first time we've seen a novel coronavirus jump the species barrier in Chinese wet market.

Jump to 2:10 to avoid most of the political stuff and get right to the point.

Just read an article today that said in SK, they are now seeing a wave of recovered patients who were testing negative "relapse" and are now testing positive and developing symptoms again.  This is crazy....

Hoping they didn't get their original test kits from China

For the first time in history, all 50 states are simultaneously  under a disaster declaration. Another record broken.

I don't see where it says they are developing symptoms again, only that they tested positive. Pretty important distinction.

Yes there were people that were on the road to recovery and were clear of the virus and developed symptoms again a couple days afterwards. South Korea is a good example of it.

Yes. Testing positive again means that they may have anti-bodies to it and not showing symptoms but can spread it. Highly infection disease and we may never escape this.
