Just now China appears to have shut down most or all of its international Internet access. They can’t tolerate any further evidence like this leaking out to Twitter.
It’s a serious issue. Especially when it’s a newly observed pathogen. It should be closely monitored.
It’s not though without precedent as its a variant of SARS and MERS so it’s known that those deadly viruses did not cause any major epidemic or catastrophic death tolls.
One reason, interestingly, that this one, called WARS by some, is considered potentially worse in terms of spread is it’s not as severe or deadly as SARS.
