[FRIAM] Papers on asymptomatic transmission and serology

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

Ed, 

 

How do you read this?  It sort of seems like, even with all that sane preparation, they ended up in the same stupid stew we are in.  No?   I guess, we’ll see. The needed to put all the returnees on islands and send people out to the islands to live with and take care of them until the damn thing had worked its way through that island.  Tuberculosis colonies.  

 

I tell you one thing; I aint ever going on any damned cruise again.  That’s one lesson I’ve learned.  That’s one phase that’s changed. 

 

Oh.  Wait a minute!  Hang on!  I’ve never been on a cruise.

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.

The case count in New Zealand is at least 100. The early cases were from travelers who had been in Italy and Iran. 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.

How, by the way, is NZ doing with this themselves?  I always think of
them as a sort of safe-haven being as relatively isolated as they are
yet with an anglophone first-world embedding.
