China finally accepts help in battle against coronavirus — after 35,000 infected
With some 35,000 stricken within its borders and the death-toll spiraling, a desperate China is finally accepting help in battling the coronavirus — after rebuffing offers from the US and others for weeks.
China has agreed to let the World Health Organization form an international team of experts that will travel to the mainland to study the virus and seek solutions, a US embassy spokesman told Reuters on Saturday.
Infectious disease experts from the United States will play a major role.
“These US experts have extensive experience working with the World Health Organization on a range of infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics, including Ebola, avian influenza and SARS,” the spokesman added.

China took tiny economic hit from an extra week off for their New Years holiday.
It will take significant hit for another week.
Westerners will move their investments and production to more reliable places to do business.
So China has to show irrefutable evidence to the world’s businesses that this is under control.
That’s why WHO is let in now. China has no choice.
I’m very interested to see what production activity is resumed tonight!
