Evacuations are just starting today, and most (I think all) countries are just doing two week quarantine.
Symptoms show up at latest at 6 weeks, but can be as soon as four days. And right before symptoms you become infectious.
The real danger is these people get infected during evac, don’t display infections till after quarantine, and then upon release become infectious and spread it. Especially since they’ll think they’re safe and are likely to immediately go out in public.
Even with expontial spread, 6 weeks from now we’ll still be “fine” in the present tense, but that doesn’t mean we’re not already fucked.
That’s why controlling the begining is so important and everyone on that ship needs a two month quarantine to be sure.
Longer than that.
