The person recovered, and Missouri officials say risk to public is still low.

    Probably means it’s spreading in the community over there from human to human contact. Not good to say the least. I’d say stock up on toilet paper lol.

      The article I read mentioned this person has co-morbidities. Presumably, that’s why their symptoms are worse/they even got tested. Perhaps this means that it only weakly infects humans (currently, anyway). Hence the lack of prior detection.
      I’m sure we’ll start to see more community cases. Hopefully that won’t translate to the virus mutating further in ways that make it more infectious or harmful.
