A man has died of the coronavirus in the Philippines, the first confirmed fatality outside China.
The patient was a 44-year-old Chinese man from Wuhan, in Hubei province, where the virus was first detected. He appeared to have been infected before arriving in the Philippines, the World Health Organization (WHO) said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-51345855 |

THE Chinese authorities are deliberately falsifying the coronavirus numbers, a leading expert has said.

As far as i read this is a flu virus. What the hell is so dangerous? :doh:
Ok, on one hand China's dictator Xi Jinping wants to show off how capable his ruling model is, in comparison to the decadent west. So spraying something into the landscape, building hospitals in a few weeks, deploying drones and publicly denouncing and chastizing people who do not follow orders is the try to appear as if it all is under control. Fail. |

^ maybe it is being played down here, but there seems to be not much concern about it.
A bigger problem here are the thousands of people blocking emergency hospitalisation because they think they have this corona virus. "This is not a flu virus we are used to". True, though the flu virus we know kills ten thousands more than this new one. Better safe than sorry alright, you have a point. |

2, The new flu will match the old flu, probably surpass it by a lot, if it ever gets loose in the general population. That's why the concern now is containment. It's a small problem as long as we act strenuously to limit the spread. We will know in 4~6 weeks how these actions fare. I think of it like a fire. You see a small fire in your apartment, you know without thinking that it must be extinguished with every possible effort while it is still possible to do so. Act casually and it could spread beyond any hope of control before you realize it. |
