In Iraq, celebration’s tonight take place in Tahrir Square, Baghdad due to the withdrawl of Muqtada al-Sadr backed militants from the protest areas.

Still no clarity on actual numbers infected and dead. Everyone posting different numbers. Still consistent though -
1. Ro is still very high at 2-4.
2. Best guess mortality rate 2-3%.
3. 10-15 day incubation but spreadable after as few as 5 days after infection.
4. WHO still hasn’t called for a global response.
