Significant #nCoV2019 paper *just* out at @NEJM. Bad news, which we kinda knew, is there is sustained human-to-human transmission. Goodish news: R0 estimate is 2.2, lower than SARS. But won't be easier to contain because 2020 is more connected than 2003. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001316 …

Yes all this is preliminary, and there is still under-diagnosis going on due to test availability etc. And these %@^$#!s mutate. That said, for all of us, washing hands often and not touching one's face and self-isolating if feverish are the sensible steps—as in any flu season.

Finally,
#nCoV2019 will get to places with much poorer healthcare systems. Once again, global health-care equity is an existential need, besides being a basic human right. There is no way to get through this without providing resources for the whole world. It's 2020. One planet.Show this thread -
