There are currently 9,171 confirmed cases worldwide, including 213 fatalities.
WHO and CDC also have to be worried about panic, which can cause as much trouble as a pandemic.

WHO is a puppet of China...China donates huge amount of money to WHO....did you see all the ass kissing at the news conference today..they praised China more then they mentioned the Virus..
and don’t forget WHO said they made a “clerical error” last Thursday when they set the world risk to MODERATE....where it stayed until Monday when they said it was supposed to be HIGH all along....
I’m watching the German h2h case with interest because I think that could be predictive of what happens with exposure in the west. So far the one Wuhan employee has infected 4 others I believe.
Lot of details here:
Transmission of 2019-nCoV Infection from an Asymptomatic Contact in Germany

Anyone else feel it’s getting harder and harder to find info on the coronavirus?
Seems so to me.
Good points.
’m watching the German h2h case with interest
are the infected 4 others Asian or blonde hair blue eye types?
Just saw this on Flutrackers:
Facebook:
Limiting Misinformation and Harmful Content
We will also start to remove content with false claims or conspiracy theories that have been flagged by leading global health organizations and local health authorities that could cause harm to people who believe them. We are doing this as an extension of our existing policies to remove content that could cause physical harm. We’re focusing on claims that are designed to discourage treatment or taking appropriate precautions.

Flutrackers is a good source.
I suspect China is unloosing it’s twitter bots on this subject.
And Twitter will do nothing of course.

Yes, that’s my point. CNY might sort of “hide” a lot of the economic disruption, but once CNY is over, the economic SHTF begins (begins!) in earnest.
For example, the week after the Consumer Electronics Show sees a huge push in the electronics industry to place orders, get orders lined up, and so on, but not all that much really happens until after CNY. Then it’s off to the races, depending somewhat on what season a company’s new products are projected to sell best in, and so on. All sorts of preparations for manufacturing get rolling, materials are sourced or ordered... That’s just the electronics biz — if China is on lockdown, and the rest of the globe is headed that way, oh, golly!
I’m all for a gradual weaning away from China as a primary supplier (good) but sudden supply disruptions are very damaging, and will be more so in an environment where new sources (maybe even in the US) may be in the same “boat” as China, just a little later.
From your link....
....A 33-year-old otherwise healthy German businessman (Patient 1) became ill with a sore throat, chills, and myalgias on January 24, 2020. The following day, a fever of 39.1°C (102.4°F) developed, along with a productive cough. By the evening of the next day, he started feeling better and went back to work on January 27.
Before the onset of symptoms, he had attended meetings with a Chinese business partner at his company near Munich on January 20 and 21. The business partner, a Shanghai resident, had visited Germany between Jan. 19 and 22. During her stay, she had been well with no signs or symptoms of infection but had become ill on her flight back to China, where she tested positive for 2019-nCoV on January 26 (index patient in ).
On January 27, she informed the company about her illness. Contact tracing was started, and the above-mentioned colleague was sent to the Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine in Munich for further assessment. At presentation, he was afebrile and well. He reported no previous or chronic illnesses and had no history of foreign travel within 14 days before the onset of symptoms. Two nasopharyngeal swabs and one sputum sample were obtained and were found to be positive for 2019-nCoV on quantitative reverse-transcriptase–polymerase-chain-reaction (qRT-PCR) assay.2 Follow-up qRT-PCR assay revealed a high viral load of 108 copies per milliliter in his sputum during the following days, with the last available result on January 29.
On January 28, three additional employees at the company tested positive for 2019-nCoV (Patients 2 through 4 in ). Of these patients, only Patient 2 had contact with the index patient; the other two patients had contact only with Patient 1. In accordance with the health authorities, all the patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV infection were admitted to a Munich infectious diseases unit for clinical monitoring and isolation. So far, none of the four confirmed patients show signs of severe clinical illness.
LOL!
Thank you for that link. This part of that article may be why we are seeing so few people listed as recovered:
“In this context, the detection of 2019-nCoV and a high sputum viral load in a convalescent patient (Patient 1) arouse concern about prolonged shedding of 2019-nCoV after recovery. Yet, the viability of 2019-nCoV detected on qRT-PCR in this patient remains to be proved by means of viral culture.”
I thought I had read that nobody is considered recovered at this point until they have 2 consecutive RT-PCRs clean. Disturbing that the infected seem to be shedding virus both before symptoms show and after symptoms have resolved, yet hopeful that is why so few have been considered recovered.
Interesting, huh? So what demographic are patients 2-4?
That’s what I’d like to know.
If you ever find out, please ping.
TIA.
CDC maybe, I don’t think WHO cares one whit about the US or the west.
50 cent army has been on this over a week.

“New Coronavirus May Not Have Originated In Wuhan: Lancet Report”

Just saw they shut down FluTrackers on Facebook, that’s crazy. They aren’t an agenda driven group that I can tell, just very calm, factual and scientific. Wow.
Agreed. That’s disturbing. Basically you’re ‘well’, but not well.
