I have no idea what the truth is with regard to this virus. There are so many people saying so many things, so many people reporting so many things, I’m confused where the truth lies. Perhaps we just stick with the WHO?

https://www.who.int/docs/default-source ... 9a7406a4_2

SITUATION IN NUMBERS total and new cases in last 24 hours

Globally
46 997 confirmed (1826 new)
China
46 550 confirmed (1820 new)
Outside of China
447 confirmed (6 new) 24 countries
1 death

WHO RISK ASSESSMENT

China Regional Level Global Level
Very High High
High

I just wonder if this thing is going to grow exponentially because of the lack of symptoms during its incubation period.

I listened to today’s WHO press conference. China reported separate numbers for confirmed and clinical cases. The clinical case figure wasn’t just cases in the last 24 hours. It included cases diagnosed but not confirmed by test throughout the period of the epidemic. Today is a temporary spike, not evidence of exponential growth.

I stick with the pros: the CDC and the WHO. They hold press briefings daily that you can find on their respective websites.

I stumbled on this article that describes the amount of effort that went into identifying the first US case and containing the spread of the virus. Imagine having to do this for 100 cases. Or 1000.

This is my county, and I’m damn proud of the job they did.

Apparently the WHO is preparing for a widespread outbreak in the US. I'm booking a flight in Spring. If I come back dead, I'll let you guys know.

That story is not about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ramping up to engage with an oncoming pandemic, but is about being prepared for the worst case scenario if things go bad.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nC ... c-response

There were 19 confirmed cases as of last Friday, and they are tracking/monitoring 81 people as having had contact that haven't been confirmed as negative for contracting the virus.

Don't you know it! After I drive him totally insane, I'll go hang around Keith Richards for the duration and see what he's up to.
