Somewhere there is a room full of people desperately trying to think of a way to link corona virus to climate change.

The coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can linger in the air for at least 30 minutes and travel up to 4.5 metres further than the "safe distance" advised by health authorities around the world, according to a study by a team of Chinese government epidemiologists.

For instance, the passengers sitting immediately next to the carriers were not infected, though they were suffering the highest exposure to the disease-bearing aerosols.
"Our knowledge about this virus's transmission is still limited," he said.

They both are self quarantined and gaetz found out while he was AF1 while meadows escorted trump to the cdc.
Looks like it is all connected to students who were doing study abroad in Europe, especially Italy and Spain.lunchbox said:

Many people are used to employers looking negatively on employees for being sick. I've worked places where people are expected to be there even if they feel like they are dying. Fortunately, my current employer isn't that way, but you still have rogue employees not willing to use PTO when they get sick.

I don't profess to know which way this thing is going to go, and I'm not in panic mode, but I think it's realistic to assume that most major cities will be exposed to the virus. The major cities that don't have reported cases are likely simply because the people who have it haven't gone to the doctor yet.
I'd take it a step farther and say that most major cities have been exposed, have had infected people go to the doctor, but have not been able to get tested.
