Yep, that’s how she spreads. I figured ATL would be one of the 1st places since we are the main hotspot for travelers.

It is still imo not spreading super fast in the US. Not really that out of hand so far imo. But long way to go before all plays out of course.

It’s definitely spreading fast, not as fast as thought but still spreading, I’ve seen some disturbing things on twitter today about people in Seattle getting declined testing
 
Pretty interesting article from the CDC.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6909e1.htm?s_cid=mm6909e1_w

Here's a snapshot that studied 445 close contacts:

Active symptom monitoring of the 445 close contacts, consisting of daily telephone, text, or in-person inquiries about fever or other symptoms for 14 days following the last known exposure to a person with confirmed COVID-19, was conducted by local health jurisdictions. During the 14 days of active symptom monitoring, 54 (12%) close contacts developed new or worsening symptoms deemed by local public health authorities to be concerning for COVID-19 and were thus considered persons under investigation (PUIs)§§ and subsequently were tested for SARS-CoV-2. Two persons who were household members of patients with confirmed COVID-19 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. This yielded a symptomatic secondary attack rate of 0.45% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.12%–1.6%) among all close contacts,¶¶ and a symptomatic secondary attack rate of 10.5% (95% CI = 2.9%–31.4%) among household members. Both persons with confirmed secondary transmission had close contact with the respective source patient before COVID-19 was confirmed and were isolated from the source patient after the patient’s COVID-19 diagnosis.

FYI...WHO thinks China numbers are real, I tend to agree. It’s good news and evidence quarantine works. Likely a lot of western countries don’t follow suit however.

Kinda hard to say no to a quarantine when the government says, “Do it or be lined up and shot. Your choice comrade.”
