Over 15,000 new confirmed cases of #COVID-19 #2019-nCoV #coronavirus infection within the past 24 hours.
I haven't seen an explanation yet. My first guess would be that they recently received a new supply of test kits, and are now testing people who are not as sick. If so, the alarming 2% fatality rate should start falling soon.

Medical official briefly admits #2019-nCoV #coronavirus fatality rate is 4.9%.
(Remember to take this with a grain of salt, as there is no way to confirm this number and the official numbers are still showing a far lower 2-3% rate.)

They're about to announce an official name for the #2019-nCoV #coronavirus. That's important because coronaviruses can cause everything from minor colds to deadly respiratory conditions like #SARS and #MERS. They want to get specific.

By the way, I'm not talking about going to extremes. I'm saying that if necessary, it is sensible to be able to avoid public places for a few days.

I don't see the current #2019-nCoV strain of #coronavirus as a civilization-ender. Nor was the #SARS strain or the #MERS strain. As I said, take it seriously enough to prepare, but do not panic.

@moonman @dielan At last report, #2019-nCoV #coronavirus still had a 2% fatality rate and has already infected more people than its relative #SARS did over a period of almost two years. If it gets loose here and tag-teams with #influenza, it could kill thousands. Or more. . I think it is justified to take it seriously. Not to the point that you poop in your pants and sit in th…
