Just started watching the Diamond Princess documentary and I’m already pre-stressed. (It’s on HBO Max, called “The Last Cruise”.) Eeeek.

So far, it’s only February 9th, 2020 on the Diamond Princess and the ship’s doctor is certain about presymptomatic transmission (he says about a third seem to be) and it’s clearly spreading via airborne transmission on the ship. Maybe I should watch Jaws for some stress relief.

Okay they’re now putting all the passengers, including positive ones, in the same plane all the way back to the United States, and they’re most definitely not equipped against aerosol transmission. I think I’ll watch Godzilla, too, to relax.

Well I had read all the papers, but that was still difficult. 714 cases, 14 deaths. The documentary ends reminding us how long it took the CDC to recommend masks and test asymptomatic cases. (I got the impetus for some of my early writing from the Diamond Princess epidemiology).

Replying to @zeynep
The early epidemiology out of China, Japan, and South Korea was incredibly well done and has stood up. We are finally implementing it in schools. The problem is the epidemiology of B117 might be totally different, but nobody has the impetus to do what those countries did now.
