Yeah, I'm sure NZ will get that under control. It always sucks to have new cases that seemingly came from nowhere... I guess this is bound to happen with such a sneaky asymptomatic virus...
But how long is someone asymptomatic and infectious?
And why hasnt it shown as new cases earlier?
Id say its a relatively new asymptomatic case.
The only cases up to this were returning citizens in quarantine. So something has leaked from that. But this family doesnt have an obvious connection.
NZ has been good in that they have hit this hard and hopefully will contain it.
DN, unless we test everyone, asymptomatic cases simply can’t be detected..., unless the person decided to get tested just for fun?
I suppose there are folks who’s immune system just doesn’t see the virus as a threat therefore developed no symptoms. Also, lots of transmissions took place before somebody developed symptoms...
This is why it’s so hard to contain.
Of all the nations that could contain this leak, NZ definitely is one of them. Fingers crossed.
YW, the world has changed. I don’t think it’s that hard to imagine what would happen now...
China has done a superb job controlling this virus, officially doing a much better job than HK! So hopefully China will help HK get things under control soon whether it’s the virus or the violent rioters.
I really wonder what western media YW reads and what he thinks we read?

Woo, positivity rate down to 6.4%. I will take any good-ish news that I can get at this point.
