Iraq denies it is banning flights from Iran.
Plague fear is the greatest fear of armies... I wonder how Syria, etc. feel about the Iranian allies in their midst now?
I honestly don’t believe those numbers, they must have run out of test kits.

More on Iraq. Not all that informative, but not much is.
I guess 29 is the new 80.
Bet we agree it is especially difficult with China.
So powerful, so feudal.
If it is in arab territory, they will send it to the US like suicide bombers.
It is sad, but frankly even with the best of care people with this virus die, the migitating factors are ill health, youth and old age.
My understanding is the contrary to the usual, with this virus children seem particularly immune, no?
Hey San Francisco...!

China 74,988 cases, 2,234 fatalities
International 1,205 cases, 11 fatalities

So I guess this gives a good clue about how a recovered patient can stl be contagious
Does anyone have information regarding the percentage of cases where the patient incubation period exceeded 14 days...
I know general thought is 14 days and articles state as long as 24...
I am wondering the percentages that require longer than 14 days...
The median age in this one is 44, and apparently zero deaths under the age of 10
Perhaps others can chime in, but I have only heard of a handful of cases/sporadic reports. Like there was one in Sweden recently that became ill over 3 weeks after return from China. But as for percentages, I don’t think anyone has that much data on it yet.
SEOUL, Feb. 21 (Yonhap) — President Moon Jae-in will be briefed Friday on South Korea’s response to the fast-spreading coronavirus outbreak by Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun, Cheong Wa Dae said, as the number of confirmed cases in the country more than tripled over the past two days.
The virus has begun to spread locally at a rapid pace, putting the quarantine authorities on high alert.

The Ministry of Defense decided to control all soldiers’ leave, going out, going out, and visiting on the 22nd, as the first confirmed patient (COVID-19) of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) occurred in Jeju Navy.
Possibly 3 military cases
The Virus must like it there, another confirm case in Humboldt County Ca.
Thank you...
Sort of what I gather too.
However, a stat would be valuable to know since the first wave of evacuees are now being released after 14 days...
