I heard from one of my Chinese customers this morning.  (Chengdu)  FWIW - She said the epidemic situation in China has improved.  Many cities have not added new cases for a long time, and she is very confident that she will take off the mask soon.

Is there any information on reinfection?

Not that I know of, but if China "reopens" anyone who hasn't gotten it because of extreme containment procedures is vulnerable again which starts it all over again. That's why you flatten the curve, not kill it at this point.

So the Utah Jazz represent the entirety of the data on how easilly this disease is transmitted?

a simple question could the virus being slowing?  has it mutated since it was in china?  I dont know just asking, everyone takes the numbers and turns them the way they want them anyway so this is a real situation that can be tracked

The Utah Jazz aren't a representative population.  Just pay attention to what the CDC and NIH are saying.

Well, it's going to be interesting as the NBA figures out its plans. It can't really move the playoff schedule, so assuming life resumes as normal at some point, it likely just truncates the regular season and wouldn't impact.

But there's an AWFUL lot of infrastructure that had to go into this to make it work in a normal year. This is no longer a normal year.

China would be smart to ban flights for now.

For those interested in reinfection, mutations, etc. This is a summary of an old study, but is relevant here.

Coronaviruses cause the common cold. We can get the same cold virus multiple times in a season, because of the structure of coronaviruses. That means reinfection in the same year is plausible, and we will likely not generate long-term immunity. This is due to a combination of mutations and the structure of coronaviruses. This is summarized in the link below.

Would such mutations also mean that the disease could be less deadly and less easily transmitted as well?

there are two strains already known to be less deadly.

I was expecting this too.  Other countries have done it.

Do we think domestic flights/airports will be shut down at any point?

I personally don't think so - I think you recommend avoiding unnecessary travel (many already are) and then the airlines do whatever they must.

I know the 1918 flu has been brought up here a few times, and maybe I missed this link previously, but an interesting 2007 report of the economic impact, and what it could mean for a pandemic today.

https://www.stlouisfed.org/~/media/files/pdfs/community-development/research-reports/pandemic_flu_report.pdf

I haven't read every word yet, but seemed relevant.

potus said today it's something he will look at. We all know he's a purveyor of word salad but if it's now on his radar then you have to consider it a possibility.

Mexico reports many less cases than other parts of the world

They have dealt with Corona for decades...its better with a wedge of lime
