28,276 confirmed cases worldwide, including 565 fatalities.
Hubei province
(including Wuhan) 19,665 Cases ... 549 Deaths
258 cases outside China, 2 deaths (1 Hong Kong, 1 Philippines)
China was not a center of travel and business in 2003 that it is today. That can account for the difference in extent of spread.

Two Iowans who returned recently from China are undergoing testing for novel coronavirus, according to a Wednesday afternoon news release from the Iowa Department of Public Health.
The individuals are under voluntary home confinement. Results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are not expected for several days...https://www.desmoinesregister.com/st...it/4670869002/
The UK researchers whose earlier estimates of higher # of virus cases turned out correct now believe there are up to 50,000 new infections a day happening in China. See 0:38 of video.

once again not good news...the % in serious condition is stuck in 13-14% ..and it is actually higher if you take the deaths out of the current cases (14.1 vs 13.8)
again the percentage should be falling if they are now testing more mild cases and/or people are getting better...but it’s not
China only
total in serious or worse, % of the overall total, deaths

“CoronaVirus was a proven bio weapons germ gone bad. China had intended to infect the USA, New York or Los Angeles.”
Do you have a reference or just a belief?
“China had intended to infect the USA, New York or Los Angeles.”
Then why use a coronavirus strain that shows some preference toward those of Asian ancestry? (T-cells; alveoli cell receptor important is it in vivo?
“the plan”
well that would be dumb. Considering the virus is similar to Sars and Sars kicked China’s butt down the road royally.
I had that thought too. They’d vaccinate the chinese with an annual ‘flu’ vaccine and then release it on the other asians.
sorry, you are right. And I need more coffee. 2/3rds it is.
“CoronaVirus was a proven bio weapons germ gone bad. China had intended to infect the USA, New York or Los Angeles.”
BUT ***speculation only**** if it is a weapon could be be designed to mutate quickly to a less severe form to let friendly troops move in later?....is that why Wuhan area has the most deaths ?
“This is not the flu. The only thing in common with the everyday flu is that they are viruses.
This is closer to SARs and MERs.”
True. Average person is more likely to die from flu than SARS, MERS or this one.
I was asking TheNext if they have a reference not stating the quote.
sounds like they have lost control...

#Wuhan authorities in a race against the clock. Local government has been ordered to test all suspected cases by end of day Friday. Officials moving the sick to 11 pop-up clinics, other makeshift hospitals. Families complain self-quarantine led to more than one loss in a family.
President Xi says virus controls at a “crucial stage”. Earlier he said officials who fail to deliver on epidemic prevention will be sacked. #China #wuhancoronavirus

South Korea - 18 cases, 1 recovery per Reuters. Daerim-dong area open market sterilization. Large local Chinese pop. (Don’t know what they’re spraying, but there’s slabs of meat hanging from the ceiling while they’re doing it.) Also checking restaurants for wild meat. Store owner says customers are reassured they are disinfected.

I think this story will really heat up in the MSM over the next few days as they have no anti Trump drum to hammer at the moment.
30,000 Brits told to get out if they can. But folks can’t get past quarantines, restricted travel and no flights. Logistics problem.
Belgian woman evacuated on French rescue flight tests positive; 10 Brits on same flight are quarantined - 1 still awaiting results.

Ah Chu.
Sum Ting Wong.
Ho Lee Fuk.
So Long Xi.
If they are telling the truth.
Doubling-time in most cities in China which have > 100 infections, is between 4 and 5 days.
This means they have 2 weeks tops (if it continues at that rate of spread) before basically all of China has to hunker down at home, or worse.
2 weeks to global supply chain shutdown from China.
Many downstream effects.
