🚨BREAKING: @CDCgov confirms the first case of #coronavirus transmitted human-to-human in the U.S.

Given the rapid spread of #2019nCov in #China, this should surprise no one. Expect cases to continue rising, including OUTSIDE #China.

@thespybrief
wsj.com/articles/coron…
“With experts saying a #vaccine is still a long way off, more international cases of the illness appeared. Australia, Vietnam and South Korea all announced new #coronavirus infections, while #India and the Philippines had their first ones.”

INDIA.😳
washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac…
While @WHO meets for a 3rd time in a week to debate declaring a global health emergency, #China says deaths reached 171 with >8,100 confirmed cases of #2019_nCov — an increase of *more than 1,900* from the previous day.

Expect cases to accelerate, unfortunately.

⚠️#Wuhan #coronavirus likely to become a #pandemic, per many top infectious disease experts.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: “It’s very, very transmissible, and it almost certainly is going to be a pandemic."

Experts can't yet predict how many will die.

#2019nCoV
nytimes.com/2020/02/02/hea…
In the last 3 weeks, the number of confirmed #2019nCoV cases has soared from ~50 in #China to 14,000 in 23 countries + 300 deaths.

The real number is much higher. Epidemiological models estimate that the real number of cases of #Wuhan #coronavirus is *100,000 or even more*.😳
The spread of #2019nCoV (≥14,000 new cases in ~3 weeks) is much faster than when SARS and MERS emerged.

SARS was vanquished in 2003 after spreading for 9 months with only 8,098 confirmed cases. MERS has been circulating since 2012, with only ~2,500 known cases.

Excellent overview of the #Wuhan #coronavirus. Some key points:

👉🏼More total cases of #2019nCoV than SARS
👉🏼Rate of new cases is accelerating
👉🏼Spreads more easily & is more deadly than seasonal flu
👉🏼Unlike #influenza, NO treatments or #vaccine

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Although seasonal #influenza causes far more deaths than the new #coronavirus has (thus far), #2019nCoV appears to spread more readily from person-to-person + appears to be more deadly (higher mortality rate in those infected) = VERY bad.

@thespybrief
A major challenge is that the ability of #2019nCoV to spread (R0) and the mortality rate (% infected who die) are not confirmed, because it’s highly likely that there are FAR MORE cases of #coronavirus than reported.

Some don’t see a doctor, lack of testing, poor reporting...

🚨BREAKING🚨

@WHO Chief @DrTedros declares the deadly new #CoronavirusOutbreak an EMERGENCY: “I am declaring a public health emergency of international concern over the global outbreak of #2019nCoV."

"Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, and which are ill-prepared to deal with it."~WHO chief

A case of #2019nCoV was confirmed in #India, among numerous other countries.🤨

In less than a week, 98 #2019nCoV cases have been confirmed in 18 countries outside #China, including 8 cases of *human-to-human* transmission in 4 countries, including in the US (Illinois).

This is just the beginning of the #CoronavirusOutbreak, unfortunately.
