Right. It’s still only epidemic in one province of China not the whole country.
“Right. It’s still only epidemic in one province of China not the whole country.”
Correct. And it appears to be really bad there in Hubei. Fortunately they closed it off fairly early and have (apparently) pretty much contained it in the rest of the country by imposing some really drastic measures. All good on that. It isn’t a pandemic, yet, and hopefully it does not become one. That will be due to fast action by Trump and other world leaders and honestly, the Chinese deserve some credit there as well even though they deserve pretty much all the blame for this in the first place.
But I certainly don’t trust the Chinese numbers. Too much evidence points to massive deceit in Wuhan, at least, and they have a history.
I see what’s going on in Italy, Korea and Japan and expect we’re going to see outbreaks elsewhere. Hopefully we can contain them as they occur - it is easier to put out brushfires than conflagrations.
Don’t panic. Prepare and be vigilant.
