41 has to be a low number. Every indication is that there are tons more infected than admitted, primarily because China is corrupt and want to downplay the problem, but also because they don’t have enough test kits and so they won’t call just anyone dead or dying of pneumonia as having this infection until the results come back. But China has a good idea what’s going on considering they’ve quarantined the equivalent of California, which is going to do significant harm to their economy, not to mention probably create hysteria.
The quarantine has been too late to do any good, its already made it to the U.S. Apparently it has a 14 day incubation period before any symptoms and you can spread it around during this time so the horse has left the barn.
