     @sophieschmieg If there's any negative change in how this presents or spreads, the new administration can be counted on to handle it exactly wrong, with unpredictably awful potential consequences. With stuff like this, the worse case scenario is what you have to plan for, not optimistic misinformation!

     @lauren so far, there is still no evidence of person to person transmission. So I think for the moment the pandemic part 2 risk is contained. Let's hope it stays that way.
