In China, there are now 8,237 infections reported.

171 have died and 143 have recovered.

Shall we review what the epidemiologists of FR have been saying to the contrary?

[cuban leaf]

Was there any quarantining going on a week ago?

[JonPreston]

But flu

[hillarys cankles]

Kind of common sense to me.
China isn’t gonna torpedo their economy for no reason. For something that is no big deal.

[ifinnegan]

You’re really pimping that blog.

[spacewarp]

The current “official” number, as of just a few minutes ago was over 8100 and over 12,000 being watched, and just 132 declared cured with 171 deaths.

I think the first death in China was about Jan 15 - here we are 2 weeks later ...

And those are just the ones we know about
Probably a large reservoir of mild cases
and unreported more serious disease

[DannyTN]

There are already more cases in China than there were SARS cases in China.
It’s already reached more countries (18) than SARS reached (17).
By tomorrow or Saturday at the latest, confirmed cases will exceed SARS.

Hypothesis: The number of deaths is equal to 10% of the confirmed cases 5 days ago. I predict the death count will be 250 tomorrow and 370 on Saturday. It will surpase SARS in number of deaths on Feb 6th.

"at this pace, we are going to have a horrifying global pandemic of epic proportions"

[piytar]

Based on some epidemiological studies I’ve read, the increased mortality rate of over 10%, and an asymptomatic but contagious period of up to 14 days, this weaponized bug accidentally released by China from its P4 bioweapons lab could kill well over 100,000,000 people before it burns out. Possibly a lot more.

But Trump said something not PC, so it’s all his fault. /leftscum

I thought I remember about 2000 cases last week. Maybe 3000.
