As before, the genomic data support a linkage between the case WA1 from Jan 19 and the case WA2 from Feb 24, both from Snohomish County. 2/11

This suggests that the case WA1 infected someone who was missed by surveillance due to mild symptoms and a transmission chain was initiated at this point in mid-Jan. 3/11

Because the case definition from mid-Jan until Feb 27 required direct travel from China, any of these subsequent cases in the transmission chain would not have been tested for

Assuming an introduction into Snohomish County on Jan 15, Mike Famulare
@IDMOD_ORG simulated onward transmission using consensus epidemiological parameters curated by the@MIDAS_Network (https://github.com/midas-network/COVID-19/tree/master/parameter_estimates/2019_novel_coronavirus …). 5/113 replies 38 retweets 171 likesShow this thread -
Running these simulations forward with a mean doubling time of 6.1 days, we estimate the number of current infections in this transmission chain on March 1 to be 570 with an 90% uncertainty interval of between 80 and 1500. 6/11pic.twitter.com/Vm99N3x61s

In addition to this "bottom-up" approach, Mike used a "top-down" approach in which we accounted for the single positive screening result out of the number of samples screened to date along with census information. 7/11

This approach leads to a similar estimate of the number of current infections at 330 with a 90% uncertainty interval of between 20 and 1500 infections. 8/11

We believe this particular transmission chain will have a foci in Snohomish County. We're working as fast as possible to understand extent of spread in the greater Seattle area. 9/11

Please consider this to be a preliminary analysis. We are actively working on this and will continue to update our numbers. 10/11
