GREAT NEWS!
The editors of major scientific journals have agreed to share any papers about the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) with WHO before publication, with authors’ consent.
This is important to inform our assessment of the situation, our guidance to countries and actions.
It can take weeks to months from when a paper is submitted until publication.
Sharing pre-publication 2019-nCoV papers with WHO will help us analyze the #coronavirus situation as it evolves, in real time. This helps us to provide the most informed advice and act more quickly.
WHO is not part of the decision process for publication of these new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) papers. It will follow normal processes of the journals.

Asymptomatic #2019nCoV infection may be rare, and transmission from an asymptomatic person is very rare with other coronaviruses, as we have seen with MERS. Thus, transmission from asymptomatic cases is likely not a major driver of transmission bit.ly/36QhfKq
The main driver of #2019-nCoV transmission, based on currently available data, is symptomatic cases.
WHO is aware of possible transmission from infected people before they developed symptoms.

WHO Situation Report 1 February 2020 bit.ly/36QhfKq
Persons with #2019nCoV who are symptomatic will spread the virus more readily through coughing and sneezing.

.@DrTedros is reconvening the @WHO emergency panel on #coronavirus on Jan. 30 to determine if #PHEIC is needed for #2019nCoV / #nCoV2019
@DrTedros @WHO This is a week after @DrTedros & @WHO emergency committee said there was not enough evidence. Back then, there was 800+ cases of #2019nCoV / #nCoV2019 & 25 deaths. Now, there are over 6100 cases & more than 130 deaths

“Where did the 🦠 come from?” is one of the most asked questions. First, I don’t like unsupported conspiracy theories, but it’s a lingering question. @sciencemagazine examined this based on Lancet article. Nobody knows, but seafood market isn’t whole story sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/w…
2. Again, no outright conspiracy theories please. Here is another explanation: The new #coronavirus is an RNA virus—that is, viruses that have RNA as their genetic material rather than DNA—which have a “high mutation rate,” which allows it to “change properties very quickly.”
3. The RNA sequences of the #coronavirus isolated from 6 patients from the same household are different from each other (Lancet), sign of the virus evolving. This may not be so good to the ear; it suggests the difficulty of containing this virus”. (from m.theepochtimes.com/china-underrep…)

[THREAD] China Coronavirus Outbreak
A deadly virus is spreading from Asia, affecting hundreds of people and resulting in dozens of deaths, in what may become a gloabal health epidemic. This thread contains news about the outbreak.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus #WarWatch
On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus
Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).
