CORONAVIRUS (19nCoV or Novel-Coronavirus) INFO:
The incubation period of the Virus is 14 days, meaning that there are 14 days between contracting it and the first display of the symptoms.
Fever may not be included in the symptoms, rendering Airport temperature screening useless.
Airborne, transmits via air and through respiratory apparatus.
Survives on a dead surface for more than 24 hours.Do NOT touch your eyes/mouth with hands that came in contact with an infected surface.
Virus may be transmitted if an infected surface is touched with skin that has wounds.
Possibility for the virus to be contracted via eyes too.
Possible asymptomatic transmission of the virus.

Transmission of #coronavirus estimated at 2.6 by another research group (lower than the 3.8 initial reports). But 2.6 is still extremely bad —each infected person will infect 2.6 others. Even the authors admit #CoronaOutbreak containment will be very difficult.

Coronavirus is doing some serious damage over in china, with a confirmed infected count of 1400 people with 41 fatalities.
Wash your hands often, don't touch your face, and avoid crowded areas that are popular with tourists.
Stay safe Imgur...
