Coronavirus now in Oregon

oregonlive.com

I live in Oregon, work in Washington County. One of my coworkers has been WFH all week with flu like symptoms. Another one was out today. I'm officially spooked.

I live in Oregon as well (in Clackamas county) and work in downtown Portland. One of my coworkers has been out all week with flu like symptoms and they live in Washington county.

I am doing my very best not to panic at this point in time. My biggest concern is that I am asthmatic, but I also bounce back from colds and the flu relatively quickly, so I’m hoping even if I do get it I’ll recover somewhat easily...

For 3 unrelated people that are separated by a large distance to have it, the number of infected must be at least a few dozen.

Any sort of mathematical models that predict this sort of thing?

Most likely a lot of people have the mexican beer virus, but very few have severe enough symptoms to go to the hospital to get tested. I mean, do you go to the hospital every single time you cough or sneeze?
