It’s impossible for me to follow #covid19 epidemiological situation everywhere in the world, but maybe one little example: @WHOThailand has been posting detailed updates of the situation there and the case numbers jumped by 60 today, to 272.
@WHOThailand Of those 60 new cases:
12 are related to drinking venue clusters (57 total to date)
14 related to boxing stadium clusters (52 total to date)
12 are close contacts of previous cases
5 are related to religious gathering in Malaysia
13 are travel related
4 are under investigation
@WHOThailand You can imagine the work that goes into finding this information out. But that is what epidemiology is about. It tells you where infections are happening, who you need to find and follow because they have been exposed and whether you are missing chains of transmission.
@WHOThailand Of 272 #covid19 cases:
42 recovered
229 receiving treatment in healthcare settings
1 died
