At least it's being somewhat contained within China?

| I didn't see it mentioned here, so just so everyone knows the 15,000 infections and 200 deaths that were officially recognized on 2/13/20 did NOT occur all in one day. They were retrospectively added after a change in definition by the WHO as to what constitutes a diagnosis of COVID. Originally I believe only those patients with blood tests were allowed to be considered confirmed infections, whereas those with just lymph CT scans or mildly symptomatic weren't considered. Of course the blood testing requires the use of far more resources than ct scans or symptom diagnoses, and so only those patients with severe infections were being admitted and getting confirmed. In order to combat the under reporting of cases, the WHO has now allowed symptomatic and ct scan diagnoses. This opens room for over-reporting of infections since the flu and pneumonia would present in very similar ways, but many people feel that an over-reporting of incidence would be preferable to an under-reporting. |

It's officially reached my area of Florida with one case in Hillsborough County and one in Manatee County. I'm very curious to see now how different countries respond to the growing threat.
Iran says it is preparing to test every single citizen using a force of 300,000 soldiers to go to every residence and test those living there. Switzerland has banned all gatherings larger than 1,000 people. Japan has closed Disneyland, Universal and Legoland along with calling for schools to be closed during most of March. The United States has increased their travel restrictions to Iran, South Korea and Italy. Here's a good running list of COVID responses: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/02/29/coronavirus-live-updates/ And of course a great map and data tracker: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 |

I personally stand behind the belief China and some people in their labs **** up with handling procedures, and now we have this global issue causing significant damage. Only time will tell where things really go and what actually happened.
Respectively, I also feel the media has blown it out of proportion with a hint of some bogus to cover their tracks. Edit: The flu kills rougly 56,000 people EVERY year! Ebola killed a combined amount of 11,000...That happened from 2014-2016... 2 years fellas. The COVID-19 has only killed around 3500 so far. And I say only, because in the comparison to the figure above, that is actually not that much. The Flu causes that figure every year....Why all of the sudden urge to go crazy over this anyway? More people have survived COVID-19 as opposed to the flu lol. So far.... Crazy how the internet can have a cause an effect. |
