Hi all, can someone please show me a site where I can get the current numbers for infected, deaths and recovered, outside China, without having to add them all up individually?
Experts say there are several ways discharged patients could fall ill with the virus again. Convalescing patients might not build up enough antibodies to develop immunity to Sars-CoV-2, and are being infected again. The virus also could be "biphasic", meaning it lies dormant before creating new symptoms.
Professor Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at Britain's University of East Anglia who has been closely following the outbreak, told Reuters that although the patient in Osaka could have relapsed, it is also possible that the virus was still being released into her system from the initial infection, and she was not tested properly before she was discharged.
The woman first tested positive in late January and was discharged from the hospital on Feb 1, leading some experts to speculate that it was biphasic, like anthrax.
A Journal Of The American Medical Association study of four infected medical personnel treated in Wuhan, the epicentre of the epidemic, said it was likely that some recovered patients would remain carriers even after meeting discharge criteria.
who knows, but somebody is responsible and they have an agenda. This virus is a tool and designed not to kill indiscriminately - the perfect depop bio-weapon! There are too many aspects of this virus that point to it being an engineered cocktail. Our planet has many problems and one of the most important ones is population growth and al the future implications of that. Time for us all to stop being naive!

Islamic way thinning the population in nonislamic countries. The timing for this is most likely planned in advance.. so lets spread Corona and make havoc. These are "suicide bombers with Corona explosives" bioweapons with two legs !
This beast in my view longer term makes the flu look like a simple itch! Flu is virus but this thing is a tool.....set!

19 confirmed now in the UK, lots of people in the online world are worried and talking about stocking up. But plenty banging on about Flu statistics and making a joke about it.

A biphasic course has been described in many patients, with an initial illness followed by improvement and then subsequent deterioration.
In a cohort of 75 patients in Hong Kong, 85% had recurrent symptoms after initial improvement.

This is the kind of American mentality we are dealing with here. People using old outdated info for reasons to downplay the situation.
...And others using anything they can get to justify tanking the economy because they couldn't beat Donald Trump's tie in an election with their best and brightest candidates and all the money in the world.
Beware the screeching demons from hell.
A complaint filed with Health and Human Services (HHS) and promptly leaked to the New York Times alleges that federal health employees interacted with Americans quarantined for possible coronavirus exposure without proper medical training or protective gear, and that health agency leaders engaged in a 'corrupt cover-up' when staff members complained, according to the Times.
The staff members were sent to Travis Air Force Base and March Air Reserve Base and were ordered to enter quarantined areas, including a hangar where coronavirus evacuees were being received. They were not provided training in safety protocols until five days later, the person said.
Without proper training or equipment, some of the exposed staff members moved freely around and off the bases, with at least one person staying in a nearby hotel and leaving California on a commercial flight. Many were unaware of the need to test their temperature three times a day.
In the complaint, the whistle-blower painted a grim portrait of agency staff members who found themselves on the front lines of a frantic federal effort to confront the coronavirus in the United States without any preparation or training, and whose own health concerns were dismissed by senior administration officials as detrimental to staff “morale.” They were “admonished,” the complaint said, and “accused of not being team players,” and had their “mental health and emotional stability questioned.”
MONTREAL -- Quebec has its first presumptive case of COVID-19, the novel coronavirus that originated in China, Health Minister Danielle McCann announced on Thursday.
A woman in the Montreal area, who had recently returned from Iran, likely has the disease. She went to a Montreal-area clinic earlier this week where staff followed the proper protocols, the minister said at a late evening press conference. Quebec public health officials have tested her, and she is positive, though a national laboratory in Winnipeg will have to confirm the result.
But the case appears to be relatively mild. The woman who may have the disease has been allowed to go home, where she is in isolation. She likely has not worked, taken public transit and has had limited contact with people since her arrival from Iran, health officials said

Has anyone seen any information regarding the quarantine in china?
Last time I saw it appear in the news 400million were in some form of quarantine. Now they are reporting very small numbers of new cases per day which is great if true but what are the circumstances? Has no one been back to work in a month and they're still locked in there homes that would explain it. But for how much longer can the country continue like that?
Chinese officials in Wuhan and other cities within Hubei Province, where the novel coronavirus outbreak is most severe, reported to their higher-ups in the provincial government that people are not able to secure treatment, running out of supplies amid restrictive lockdown measures, and feeling fearful and anxious about the spreading disease. Despite such observations, authorities prioritized how to “control the society” and “manipulate public opinion” to view China’s efforts to contain the virus positively, according to internal government reports that The Epoch Times obtained.
