[FRIAM] Papers on asymptomatic transmission and serology

[Edward Angel]

This weekend I received an email from a good friend in NZ. Unlike the U.S, NZ spent the last two months preparing for what is happening now. For example, the schools spent a lot of time preparing teachers to be able to teach effectively on line.

Then the word went out that citizens needed to come back to NZ, and some cases were among this counter-diaspora. Then a group from a cruise ship went on a tour through Te Papa, a national museum in Wellington and infected a number of others on the tour. As of this weekend, they were at threat level 2 (I don’t know precisely what that meant) and with clear community transmission, they upped it to level 3 which means ‘You have two days to get ready for total lockdown’. After two days, they will go to level 4 — total lockdown. The schools are closed, university students have been sent home and classes are canceled for four weeks. When they resume they will be online.
