@WHO Given the change in reporting time, comparison to yesterday’s sitrep is useless. Consider this a new start. It’s a helpful snapshot, of what is going on in different regions.
@WHO Italy: +3526
Spain: +1987
US: +1822
Iran: +1178
Germany: +1144
France: +1079

Only new country was Montenegro.

Merkel as usual measured and calm in her #covid19 statement. Only two things to do right now, she says: Prepare hospitals for expected surge in cases. And distance ourselves physically from each other. She thanks everyone who adhered to #PhysicalDistancing rules already.
Long list of new measures that will essentially further reduce public life and contacts: Contacts outside of own household should be reduced to absolute minimum and distance of at least 1,5 meters kept from other people in public.
„The most important thing is to adhere to the safety distance“, says Merkel. Even if we’re not used to it from our previous lives, it makes a huge difference now in times of #covid19 whether you stand half a meter or one and a half meters apart, she says.

Hard to believe that it is a month ago today that I wrote this thread. Feels like yesterday but also like eons ago. Looking back, it is clear that time really was up and we live in a different world now. So let me try and give you an idea of where I think we are now with #covid19
The virus has gone around the world at astonishing speed. @WHO wrote in its situation report Thursday that it took 3 months to reach the first 100,000 cases, 12 days to reach the second 100,000. Tomorrow’s sitrep will probably have more than 300,000 cases. That’s four days.
@WHO From the beginning everyone’s biggest worry was always that we would see more Wuhans. There was a weird complacency in many places thinking that #covid19 would not lead to the same situation in other countries.

Before we start taking drastic measures in response to the #coronavirus, let us ask ourselves: Can we believe the #COVID-19 statistics being reported out of China? 1/53
The People’s Republic of China is pushing the narrative that it has been uniquely successful in combating the #coronavirus. It acted early, and took draconian steps that successfully suppressed (contained) the virus, 2/53 tinyurl.com/rfj5khn
This bought valuable time for other countries to deal effectively with the crisis too (which China notes, they have not done). For this, China and its highly authoritarian government and its supreme leader Xi Jinping, deserve our thanks and admiration. 3/53

I will start today's thread on #COVID in Iran, following up from yesterday's #irancorona
DISCLAIMER:

The GOOD
- Government in a complete reversal taken #COVID seriously
- As per contacts, many stay indoors if they can

The BAD:
- Explosion of cases in new cities
- Tehran seems to be next
- Extreme shortage of basic hygiene supplies
- Street collapses continue

Coronavirus #COVID -19 appears to be jumping at a rate of 117 new cases per hour. Monitoring closely as this seems to indicate a faster rate of infection than was previously reported. Could be an anomaly. The deaths did not jump however... so that’s good.

⚠️#SITREP: JANUARY 29, 2020 9PM #Coronavirus #2019nCoV update

For this update I am referring to the WHO / CDC / BNO data.

Cases: 7,816 Confirmed /
9,239 suspected
Deaths: 170

The numbers published by WHO have significant lag-time. Using @BNONews for real-time
Not too much has changed other than we see yet again another large surge in infected / suspected cases and deaths. It’s important to note that this large surge has mostly happened over the last 7-10 days or so.
Early this morning US personnel were evacuated from Wuhan to Anchorage, Alaska and ultimately to March Air Reserve Bass in California after a last minute diversion was called in. The CDC has these individuals sequestered & monitoring for signs of active illness #coronavirus

⚠️#SITREP: JANUARY 28, 2020 9PM #Coronavirus #2019nCoV update

For this update I am referring to the WHO / CDC / BNO data.

Cases: 6,062 Confirmed /
6,973 suspected
Deaths: 106

The numbers published by WHO have significant lag-time. Using @BNONews for real-time
The number of nations affected remains officially at 15. There are numerous suspected cases all over the globe and as such we just don’t have a very accurate grasp of how extensive or not #coronavirus outbreak is right now.
Recommendations and focus of public health officials remains unchanged from yesterday’s #SITREP. Universal Precautions remains the policy and no upgrade to droplet precautions outside of immediate contamination zones are being recommended.

⚠️#SITREP: JANUARY 27, 2020 9PM #Coronavirus #2019nCoV update

For this update I am referring to the WHO / CDC / BNO data.

Cases: 4,463 Confirmed / 5,794 suspected
Deaths: 106

The numbers published by WHO have significant lag-time. Using @BNONews for real-time numbers.
@BNONews Because the WHO only updates their reports a few times per day, the confirmed / suspected cases will be significantly lower than the real-time data of @BNODesk

The numbers will coincide when looking back in time however.

As anticipated, numbers jumping exponentially!
@BNONews @BNODesk We have seen strict enforcement of border security along China boundaries. Epicenter remains mostly in the Hubei province, including Wuhan, China.

- Armed Quarantine continues.
- LEVEL 3 Travel Advisory Issued (State Department)
- Standard Precautions remain recommended actions
