That was some days or a week ago - and those figure may be low ... very low
“That was some days or a week ago - and those figure may be low ... very low”
That was just under a week ago...and those huge numbers are more in line with the early anecdotes (huge lines at hospitals, 24/7 crematoriums, etc.)...than the puny numbers being claimed at the time.
First of all: No one knows what the real numbers are. The government of China certainly doesn’t know.
But the “leaked” numbers you just reposted are a misreading of Chinese (I don’t read Chinese, either, but I follow these numbers that are posted closely).
As of the day those numbers were posted, 24 589 were “confirmed cases” and
154 023 were persons under observation.
You left out the most important words.
Literally ALL in China.
Out of 150,000 infections, how many outside?
The countries are taking it very, very seriously.
People were traveling for probably weeks and maybe a month before China really let the cat out of the bag.
There should be millions infected worldwide at this point.
There’s not.
I’m cautiously optimistic about things here. Of course I could be completely wrong :)
And I still feel very bad for the folks in China.
Bad enough to have a terrible illness but to have no treatment and to be entombed in your own home in some cases by the govt!!?? Wow.
Of COURSE it may get really bad here.
So far so good. Let’s all pray it doesn’t.
It sounds like a horrible way to go.
Worse than marriage.
Is there an actual source for these numbers?
No, I dont mean a blog or a twitter account either.
