I presume the comment you're replying to is referring to this case in Vietnam today: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/world/asia/coronavirus-vietnam.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/world/asia/coronavirus-vi... Elderly guy with no travel history who rarely even left his home and has no ties to any known potential source of infection, only discovered as a result of him being hospitalized - everything about this strongly suggests that containment has already failed and Vietnam just hasn't realized it yet. (Also, they waited a whole week after he was hospitalized and tested positive before publicly admitting that this had happened? Ouch. Most recent public social interaction prior to symptoms was visiting a hospital? Double ouch. I really hope this doesn't say what I suspect it does about what's happening in Vietnam right now.)
- threatripper 6y agoYes, this one. The one case we feared for months. It's like a little puff of smoke coming out of the roof.
- nradov 6y agoHave they looked into transmission from animals?
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoThe WHO reports that transmission from animals is known to have occurred among some mink farmers. Whether it can be transmitted from common domestic animals is unknown, although dogs and cats can definitely be infected.
