CHINA — 5327 — 349 — 6.6%
CAN — 251 — 44 — 17%
SGP — 238 — 33 — 13%

Amazing how one country did so much better treating and saving patients than the others.

Is it the one responsible for the virus notorious for a lack of public health transparency who underreported it to save face?

Ask the microbiologist who says we have good statistics from China.

And Art Vanderlay about their quick build hospital.

Is that a titleist?

That’s marine, not micro

Really?

Ask the microbiologist who says we have good statistics from China.

The microbiologist expressed the view that the statistics coming out of China on the Wuhan virus were good.

She said nothing about the SARS statistics from China, which pretty much everyone agrees were deeply suspect.

China does seem to have learned from SARS that lying about an epidemic can have lasting adverse effects on one's international reputation. Hence, the tendency to think the Wuhan numbers are much more accurate.

Seems off by local accounts by ppl on the street

China has announced that it intends to build a bigger second "instant" hospital in Wuhan, an indication of either deeper inadequacy of Wuhan facilities to cope than previously thought or even greater predicted spread of the virus than previously thought.

Or both.

The first 1000 bed hospital will be completed February 3, the second 1300 bed hospital will be completed sometime mid-February.

The numbers from China are obviously wrong. They have shortages of test kits so cannot have correct numbers of diagnoses. And there are errors in death certificates as well as overwhelmed hospitals and facilities.

Has anyone heard that there is now a case at Duke medical center? I don't buy the numbers the Chinese want us to believe, think its a lot worse than that. Scary nonetheless.

How accurate is the test? Are there false negatives?

I don’t think anything is 100 percent. Would think they will continue to monitor.

BS

They did the exact same thing this time. They hid it and downplayed it for weeks. Are you paying attention? The social media is China is livid that the same stuff is still going on.
