Coronavirus: Germany confirms first human transmission in Europe
- Anon84 7y agoAs I was just saying yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22165453 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22165453) It's person to person transmissibility is what is going to determine how big of an outbreak we are dealing with. This new development now means that we are somewhere between Phase 4 and Phase 5 on the pandemic scale (https://www.sbs.com.au/news/what-are-the-who-pandemic-alert-levels https://www.sbs.com.au/news/what-are-the-who-pandemic-alert-...) and I wouldn't be surprised if a (Phase 6) pandemic was declared within a couple of weeks or so.
