don’t know but if you care and your smart you won’t have to worry about any of them things. Wdw is safer now than it’s ever been with masks and social distance.
Unless of course, you have no idea you are carrying the virus and have no symptoms, until you do. No amount of prevention is going to help you if you already had the virus and brought it with you unknowingly, then what do you do?
And the thing is, YOU can be doing all the right things, but it doesn't mean every single person around you is. If you are visiting family or even limiting contact to a small group of friends, there is a greater than zero chance that someone ELSE might not have been as careful as you. It only takes one person to spread it, and that person doesn't have to feel sick to do it.
Clinical Presentation
Incubation period
The incubation period for COVID-19 is thought to extend to 14 days, with a median time of 4-5 days from exposure to symptoms onset.1-3 One study reported that 97.5% of persons with COVID-19 who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days of SARS-CoV-2 infection.3
I hope their cases were mild and I sit corrected.
Median time just means that when they analyze the exposure-to-symptom time, the median is the exact middle numbers if you listed out every data point in numerical order. There will be plenty of people who get symptoms sooner, and plenty who get them later, but a lot of the time it seems to happen around day 4 or 5 after exposure.
Surface transmission is the least likely source of transmission, so it makes sense that they would spend less on frequent surface cleaning and more on filtration and social distancing. It's an airborne disease that basically only gets transmitted through surfaces thirdhand (person who is positive touches their mouth/nose/eyes and then touches surface or expels droplets onto surface....person touches that surface....person then touches their own mouth/nose). The transmission is stopped if everyone is wearing masks to keep their own droplets in, not touching their face and washing hands/sanitizing frequently.
