Don't know found another

This one has a good following on FB so.....?

Yes, it is an online news site from SA that was an offshoot from The Times (of South Africa). Seems legit.

This brings up a good point... some of these resources can be deceiving! MapHub's "black perimeter" means there are travel restrictions... only a "red perimeter" means an area has a legitimized quarantine zone. Thanks for replying...

Hong Kong is "halving" the number of flights going to/from the mainland. Useless poppycock!

Current Numbers according to SCMP

“At least 90 nurses took sick leave on Wednesday at three Hong Kong hospitals, ahead of a potential strike planned by a health care workers’ union in protest at the government’s response to the coronavirus.”

If that becomes a thing, then this will accelerate in severity quickly.

Fears over the coronavirus outbreak are forcing Google to close its offices in all of China, including Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Tech website The Verge reported Wednesday that the offices have been closed for the Lunar New Year but will remain closed until further noticeremain closed until further notice. According to Google's website, the search giant has offices in Bejing, Shenzen, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hong Kong on the mainland, and the island of Taiwan has five other offices.

No moreso than Western government foolishly breaking the quarantine to fly their nationals back to their countries of origin.

Google just shut down all China offices.

and yet the artificially-overvalued, euphoric capital markets (here in the US anyway) are flat/in the green and just shrugging things off while they focus on Tesla's record high today! Ridiculous...

When we start seeing that MapHub turn more orange and new "suspected cases" popping up in areas with no activity, that's when I think we'll start to see the bigger macro-picture come into focus. Right now the majority of folks don't care or think coronavirus will be significant outside of those in China.

I disagree with them... but I could be wrong of course

Sounds like a convenient time to hack & infiltrate some servers.

WHO F'd up!

World Health Organization Chief Blames ‘Human Error’ on Calling Coronavirus Threat ‘Moderate’

“WHO deeply regrets the error in this week’s situation report, which inserted the word ‘moderate’ inaccurately in the #coronavirus global risk assessment,” Ghebreyesus wrote on Twitter Wednesday. “This was a human error in preparing the report. I have repeatedly stated the high risk of the outbreak.”

@WilliamYang120

Also, one thing that China is hiding is the number of death caused by the virus. Credible Chinese media outlet @initiumnews interviewed people working at local cremation centers, confirming that many dead bodies were sent directly from the hospitals to the cremation centers...

... without properly identifying these patients, which means there are patients who died from the virus but not adding to the official record. That shows the current death toll of 133 that we are seeing is way too low.

The term 'Chinese fire drill" comes to mind when dealing with WHO.

man, keep posting the suspected cases. I find it fascinating, and it keeps the thread alive while we wait for the daily totals.

a reply to: IAMTAT

yesterday someone posted photos of citizens cinderblocking and cementing a road closed - we're not being told the extent of this and CCP is actively suppressing info without a doubt. Anyone who believes their official numbers, or Jared Kushner "senior advisor to Trump" that we should believe China's data are out of their minds

This lack of updates from China is a little disconcerting.

No way does a virus just suddenly decided to have a tea break.

US CDC briefing delayed until 5:00 ET.
