Nicholls has spent the past 25 years studying coronavirus
"Three things the virus does not like: 1. Sunlight, 2. Temperature, and 3. Humidity," Nicholls said in response to a question about when he thinks confirmed cases will peak.
"The virus can remain intact at 4 degrees (39 degrees Fahrenheit) or 10 degrees (50 F) for a longer period of time," Nicholls said, referring to Celsius measurements, according to the transcript. "But at 30 degrees (86 degrees F) then you get inactivation. And high humidity -- the virus doesn't like it either," he added, the transcript of the call showed.
"So, a correct comparison is not SARS or MERS but a severe cold. Basically, this is a severe form of the cold."

Their numbers are off, well at least for Canada.
Areas in Canada with confirmed cases Province or territory Confirmed cases
Ontario 28
British Columbia 27
Quebec 2
While I'm sure these numbers will climb over the next few weeks as there are a number of possible cases waiting for test results

Just read the Italian emergency event items...whoa ...below the graphs
All religious events, baptisms and weddings. Religious services IF maintaining 1 meter distance.
So much for Holy Week observance there.
Could this ever occur in the US?
The number of people to have died from the coronavirus in Italy has shot up by 133 in a day to 366, officials say.
The total number of infections leapt 25% to 7,375 from 5,883, according to the Civil Protection agency.
The jump in figures comes as millions adapt to radical measures introduced on Sunday in an attempt to contain the outbreak.
Up to 16 million people in Lombardy and 14 provinces need special permission to travel under new quarantine rules.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte also announced the closure of schools, gyms, museums, nightclubs and other venues across the whole country.

The key word there is severe.
And no one really knows for sure what we are looking at in this virus.
ETA - And you don't get a fever with a cold. Your temperature actually drops with a cold.

Unless our respective governments and medical establishments are releasing the numbers in realtime i have to doubt the veracity of this CV Stats & Graph.

The problem is with that kind of discrepancy, this type of graph can do more harm than good.
There are no accurate sources nor figures, nor are there lightly to be anytime soon.
Fearmongering is fearmongering all the same.
