44 Texas Students Have Coronavirus
After Spring Break Trip
Two weeks
ago, amid the coronavirus pandemic, about 70
students from the University of Texas at Austin
partied in Mexico on spring break. The students,
all in their 20s, flew on a chartered plane to
Cabo San Lucas, and some returned on separate
commercial flights to Texas.
Now, 44
of them have tested positive for the virus and
are self-isolating. More students were monitored
and tested on Wednesday, university officials
said, after 28 initial positive tests.
...
Students at the University of Tampa, the
University of Wisconsin-Madison and other
colleges have tested positive after returning
from spring break trips to Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee and elsewhere.

Transmission of 2019-nCoV Infection
from an Asymptomatic Contact in Germany
We are
reporting a case of 2019-nCoV infection acquired
outside Asia in which transmission appears to
have occurred during the incubation period in
the index patient.
...
[I]t is notable that the infection appears to
have been transmitted during the incubation
period of the index patient, in whom the illness
was brief and nonspecific.
The
fact that asymptomatic persons are potential
sources of 2019-nCoV infection may warrant a
reassessment of transmission dynamics of the
current outbreak.

A
stunning admission of deadly ignorance from
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who says he only just
learned that asymptomatic people can transmit
#Covid19. “[I]ndividuals could have been
infecting people before they ever felt bad, but
we didn’t know that until the last 24
hours.” -

Shadowy Church Is at Center of
Coronavirus Outbreak in South Korea
At
meetings of the secretive Shincheonji Church of
Jesus, worshipers sit packed together on the
floor, forbidden to wear glasses — or face
masks. They come to church even when sick,
former members say. After services, they split
up into groups for Bible study, or to go out
into the streets and proselytize.
...
Now, health officials are zeroing in on the
church’s practices as they seek to contain South
Korea’s alarming coronavirus outbreak, in which
members of Shincheonji, along with their
relatives and others who got the virus from
them, account for more than half of the
confirmed infections.
