🚨BREAKING: #China locks down 2 more cities—including public transportation, markets & theaters—in an effort to contain the #Wuhan #coronavirus. 20 million people live in locked-down cities.

The virus can spread btwn people via COUGHING.😳

Patient 0 in the #CoronavirusOutbreak is believed to have been infected in a seafood and livestock market in #Wuhan, presumably by close contact with an infected animal.

Bad news: Now, the #coronavirus appears to have adapted to spread person-to-person.

The ultimate nightmare in an #outbreak is a pathogen that:

- is deadly
- can spread easily
- has no effective treatment or vaccine

#Wuhan #coronovirus is in the same viral family as SARS, which fit the above criteria. This new #CoronavirusOutbreak is VERY concerning.
🚨More BREAKING news: Authorities in Beijing have **canceled all large-scale Chinese New Year celebrations** in an effort to contain the growing spread of #Wuhan #coronavirus.

#China is taking this #CoronavirusOutbreak VERY seriously.

🚨VIDEO from a hospital in #Wuhan, #China — the epicenter of the #CoronavirusOutbreak — shows numerous patients in distress, some covered completely (suggesting mortality).

This is what outbreaks look like.

More video via @muyixiao from “#Wuhan Hospital 11” showing the devastation of #2019nCoV.

Sick — even potentially critically ill — patients line the hallway. Such scenes only happen when a hospital is overwhelmed.

More details / translations from @muyixiao on the current situation in #Wuhan hospitals (the #coronavirus epicenter) that are treating patients with #2019nCoV.👇🏼

"How deadly is the new #coronavirus?"

This is the "case-fatality rate"👉🏼# of dead/total # infected

Currently, it appears to be 4%, but it's WAY too early. Some (mild illness) do not seek medical attention, deaths lag infections, poor reporting...

#2019nCoV #CoronavirusOutbreak
In a fast-moving situation, such as a viral outbreak, accurate reporting can be tricky, such as with #Ebola, where people can get sick/die in remote places with little infrastructure.

And some governments don't accurately report information for a variety of (political) reasons.
People infected with the #coronavirus (called #2019nCoV) can have a range of symptoms: NONE to mild to severe pneumonia.

If 50% of infections are mild (no need for treatment), the ACTUAL number of total infections may be MUCH higher, and the case-fatality rate would be LOWER.

🚨BREAKING: #China reports ≥15 new deaths from #coronavirus in 1 day, raising the death toll by 50% to 41.

China is building a *1000-bed hospital in #Wuhan in 10 days*, where local hospitals are "overwhelmed."

This is just the beginning...

@thespybrief Having YEARS of experience developing an #Ebola treatment, I was concerned about this #CoronavirusOutbreak from the outset, because this #coronavirus strain is very contagious, causes severe illness, and NO treatments or vaccines are available.
@thespybrief Unlike H5N1 "bird flu" (which does not spread easily between people) or SARS (which was spread by only a handful of "super spreaders"), this #coronavirus DOES appear to spread easily between people, even after making the jump from an animal (this is not common).

The #Wuhan #coronavirus has hit #Xinjiang, where #China has imprisoned at least 1 million Uighur Muslims. Its filthy detention camps will make inmates sitting ducks.

The prison camps have poor sanitation, hygiene, and cramped living conditions

amp.insider.com/wuhan-coronavi…
Authorities reported two cases in the autonomous southwestern region on Thursday, Radio Free Asia (RFA) and The Wall Street Journal reported, citing local health authorities.

Plastic buckets for toilets, and rooms so small people have to take turns sleeping
Sayragul Sauytbay, who escaped from a camp in March 2018, separately told Haaretz: "The food was bad, there weren't enough hours for sleep and the hygiene was atrocious," she said.

"There were almost 20 people in a room of 16 square meters," she added."

China quarantines Wuhan – airport and public transport to shut down within hours
POPULATION 11 MILLION
There are 440 confirmed cases, with the origin a seafood market that "conducted illegal transactions of wild animals".
I'm sure it's actually 440

Surely we can depend on the National Health Commission of The People's Republic of China for accurate & honest numbers
