I do not think it will be contained in China.
The rest of the world? Depends on actions not taken yet.
Declaration of a Public Haelth Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) is long overdue.
The committee has already met twice and not had the necessary vote margin to do it.
Reports I was seeing say it could be as long as 14 days to become symptomatic and as early as 2 days to become contagious. That is why it’s so readily spreading.
So far, we’ve seen 1 report of 1 person who was infected becoming completely virus free.
This thing has potential to be very bad.
The daily increase in reported cases is increasing at approximately 30-35% per day. The daily increase in deaths is starting to catch up.
These are growth rates over the day before. I am not saying there is a 30% fatality rate. Statistics can be confusing.
The 1918 flu started in the US and went to Europe. And then it came back in a big way.
If they’re from CDC, it’s full of them.
One case in Manilla, hospitalized.
There could be 100,000 mild cases. We have no idea.
I had been told by somebody in the Philippines that 24 have it and one person in Manila died.
The government may or may not be minimizing it to prevent a panic.
It’s more than one, I can guarantee that.

The official number went from 1 on Tuesday to 132 today. (My boss just showed me the official reports and translated it from Chinese to English, as he’s Chinese and his wife just went over to a different part.) They’re reporting over 8000 now and 12,000 being monitored.
9 on Jan 21
41 on Jan 24
106 on Jan 27
170 today (Jan 30).
Nah. Was correcting my misinformation from earlier.
Sorry for the confusion.
