WHO is working with networks of specialists to analyze 2019-nCoV full genome sequences as they become available.
We have not received evidence that the virus has changed. We await further information from 🇨🇳 officials.

Current estimates of the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) incubation period range from 2-10 days. These estimates will be refined as more data become available.

Understanding the time when infected patients may transmit the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) virus to others is critical for control efforts.

WHO Situation Report 26 January 2020 bit.ly/37u0Ht7
In previous outbreaks of other #coronavirus, such as MERS, some individuals can be asymptomatic and transmit to others

WHO Situation Report 26 January 2020 bit.ly/37u0Ht7
Detailed epidemiological information from more people infected is needed to determine the infectious period of the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV).

WHO Situation Report 26 January 2020 bit.ly/37u0Ht7
WHO has issued advice to people on how to protect themselves from new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection, as for any virus that spreads via the respiratory route.
It is vitally important in health care settings that health care workers are able to protect themselves from new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection.

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.

To date, new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) person-to-person transmission outside of #China has been limited.

@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @WHO_Europe @WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @pahowho Public health efforts are targeted at limiting further transmission in countries with imported new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) acute respiratory disease cases which depends critically on the ability to detect the pathogen

@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @WHO_Europe @WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @pahowho WHO is proposing ‘2019-nCoV’ as an interim name of the virus.
The final decision on the official name of the virus will be made by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses.

[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).

We are sharing our initial analysis of the new #Wuhan #coronavirus (with @robertson_lab): #nCoV’s relationship to bat coronaviruses & recombination signals. Full analysis is here on virological: virological.org/t/ncovs-relati… @MackayIM @FluTrackers @HelenBranswell @Laurie_Garrett
@robertson_lab @MackayIM @FluTrackers @HelenBranswell @Laurie_Garrett Focus of our analysis is on the Wuhan-Hu-1 virus (accession no. MN908947, released on GenBank by Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center and School of Public Health, Fudan University, Shanghai, China) as all nCoV cluster together so will share the same evolutionary ancestry. 1/n
@robertson_lab @MackayIM @FluTrackers @HelenBranswell @Laurie_Garrett It’s clear from phylogenetic analysis the new human virus is most closely related to bat coronaviruses in the Betacoronaviruses genera. 2/n

“Per this report: Bezos was in a WhatsApp chat w Saudi's MBS when unprompted the crown prince sent him a random file. The file it appears contained malware, which allowed Bezos' phone to be hacked ... leading to leaks of photos designed to embarass him“ -Chris Bing

@thespybrief
@thespybrief “4. The Bezos hack was not about Amazon. It was about the Washington Post
5. There is an extensive forensic report upcoming
6. Full details around this will become available to the public in a few months”

@thespybrief “7. Yes it was Pegasus, the cyberweapon made by Israeli company NSO
8. You think you're safe if you use Signal with disappearing messages? Think again
9. Between May - Oct 2018, the Saudis also hacked many others. All were about free speech, not business.“

There are big news breaking soon that sit at the intersection of the Jamal Khashoggi murder, the Jeff Bezos phone hack, and Saudi suppression of free speech. I'm one of few people who knows the entire story. If any reporters wish to get in touch, please email press@kawaakibi.org.

"What is the #economy? I would argue that it doesn't exist in the physical world. It is a product of our #imagination. It is made out of #ideas. It does have an effect on the physical world. But the imagined order that we have is not succeeding."
