2. Some concerning & puzzling things in this letter in @NEJM on the transmission chain in Germany.
Concerning: 1st local person infected may have had high levels of #2019nCoV in his respiratory tract after he felt well enough to go back to work. Was he still contagious?

3. Puzzling thing about this
@NEJM letter on the transmission chain in Germany: 1st local case is thought to have infected 2 colleagues. But 1 of them — patient 3 here — had contact with patient 1 only around the time he was being infected. How could patient 1 transmit so soon?pic.twitter.com/ylx5jipLQ3

Pure speculation - there might be a dose dependence in disease severity. The higher the infecting dose, the more likely it is for infection to be severe. So maybe the German contact was infected with a relatively low amount of virus since the Chinese index case was asymptomatic.

Yes, but still able to infect others. That’s bad.

I'd like to know how thoroughly the woman was interviewed about symptoms while in Germany

Indeed.

This is interesting. So the first German case did not have any pneumonia or anything otherwise, but was still shedding the virus? Sort of like when someone has the flu, but isn't fully recovered but still infected?
