Great map!
Thank you!
7 Chinese cities, around 23 million people, effectively under quarantine
Multiple cases across the world - from Scotland to Singapore and USA
634 Infected (according to Chinese officials)
18 Dead (following 1st death outside Wuhan)
WHO says "not the time to declare a global health emergency"
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Do you get the feeling China’s under-reporting?
Uh oh
