Hi, I have another few questions I’m interested in to help understand my own risks from the virus:
What’s a good estimate for the percentage of the US population infected, right now?
What is the likelihood of transmission inside the home (i.e. if one of my family members gets it, what’s the chance that I will get it?) What things can we do in the household to reduce this probability?
I’m concerned about the possibility that if I get it, there won’t be hospital beds available. Would it make sense to, at the first sign of symptoms, get on a plane to somewhere like Hong Kong or Singapore (or maybe Canada if things are better there) where things are more under control? That way there will be beds available if I need them. (Or maybe even do that preemptively, now?) Is that idea just totally crazy? (Money is no object)
Please do not get on a plane if you have symptoms. If you are in a high risk category and/or very scared, you could go to Singapore preemptively, since they’ve already shown they can control their outbreak.
What is the likelihood of transmission inside the home
My current working assumption is that if you share a living space and/or a bathroom with someone who gets it, you will get it within a few days. If you want to reduce the probability, make sure you don’t use any common spaces or bathrooms.
