I want to know how COVID-19 spread from China (where all of it originated) to other countries all over the world.
Mysteriously, there is a lack of information about this for God knows what reason.
Not mysteriously. Like I said, I've read what they think is patient 0 for most countries, over the last month. On WOM they list any known source. Like "one new case Hawaii, patient returned from Italy" etc. The info is out there is you want to go get it.
It's not covered a lot, because it really is not pertinent to getting this under control.

Then you had all the Americans that went to Italy to go skiing.
One in Texas came back from Iran.
Travelers from all over came and went via airlines/cruise ships.
AND there were others before that one person that probably was carrying.
That second basketball player identified as having the virus said he had not one symptom. He felt fine and owuld never have known he had the virus.
That's part of the problem. When we get the flu bug we know it -- we stay home because we are sick or we know enough to say - oh don't hug me today I'm not feeling great.
This you may not have any clue.
Hence the problem with people refusing to just stay away.
I'm young and healthy I'm fine...but that person may be sharing the virus with everyone.
Well they're indicating pangolins for this now, not bats.
Actually, they think it jumped from bats to pangolins to humans, like with SARS, it jumped from bats to civet cats to humans. So yes, COVID-19 entered humans possibly from pangolins, but the pangolin got it ultimately from bats.

ACTUALLY -=- it has been covered because the lack of community spread would indicate it was easy to contain.
Upstate South Carolina -- one person got it and they have not been able to identify how they got it -- what the source is. That one person has now infected over 20 people so far......
The one person here in Charleston County had traveled to Germany and had trouble getting tested because Italy was the only 'known' hot spot at the time and the federal govt. had such strict guidelines. Local ;health officials were not allowed to make their own decision to test or not. Eventually once all flus were eliminated, they conceded tested and found her to be positive.
The official numbers show that US cases have increased five fold in just one week. That’s even faster than the doubling every four days rate we were looking at earlier.
Cold weather and snow CANNOT kill the new coronavirus.
No, but certainly colder climates have some impact on people's immune system. Humans are not all identical. Some ethnic groups are more vulnerable to certain diseases than others are.
While climate might not influence infection rates, it might influence the severity of the disease.
Scandinavian countries might have joined late, but they already have lots of cases relative to their populations, roughly between 1k and 1.5k.

People still are thinking in terms of linear, not exponential.
The doubling was a conservative model. I've seen 4x reported as well.
