#Wuhan resident Chen Min, 65, died within 10 days of developing fever, cough. Docs never tested her for #coronavirus. She's not incl in official govt count of 56 dead & suggests scale of problem is *far* greater than #China has acknowledged telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/2… @Telegraph
@Telegraph To be clear: Her symptoms were consistent w the new virus infection though docs at 3 hospitals in #Wuhan kept sending her home w basic cold meds, even when a CT scan showed shadows in her lungs – not enough beds. She was finally placed in isolation Jan 15 & died 6 hours later

#China🇨🇳 has reported to WHO 139 new cases of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in #Wuhan, #Beijing and #Shenzhen over the past two days.
This is the result of increased searching and testing for 2019-nCoV among people sick with respiratory illness.
For the first time, there are novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) cases reported outside of #Wuhan, within #China🇨🇳.
These cases were identified because of searching and testing for cases outside Wuhan.
WHO has provided advice to countries on how to identify people sick with the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV), how to care for them, and how to prevent spread.

#THREAD | I'll be tracking pro-govt deaths again for the #Idlib #Hama operation. Some notes:
- ALL deaths come from pro-govt sources
- Exact places of deaths are only partially accurate
- Numbers KIA should be viewed as approximations
- If I post anything wrong please correct me
#Idlib_Dawn operation began May 6 targeting #Qalaat_alMudiq axis on #Hama

At least 10 loyalist KIA including 1 on Jub Ahmar (#Latakia/#Hama border)

HOWEVER May 6 was also 'martyrs day' so Facebook was flooded w/ old martyr posts making collecting accurate data very difficult.
7 of these deaths were #Tiger_Forces w/ 6 from #Taha_Regiment's Maskana Group and Omar Naqr Group (pic)

Jub Ahmar death was from #4th_Division, although I was told there were many other deaths here not reported on loyalist social media.
