StringJunky Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 I found this tracker which is updated daily that might be of interest to some. This is a screenshot for today.

fresh Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks. But it is more than that figure. mainland China confirmed cases is 6090 death 133. Edited January 29, 2020 by fresh

The snapshot on Stringjunky's post isn't going to update. Follow the link I had a look at the numbers. A log / lin plot looks a lot like exponential growth.

CharonY Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 The good news is that the incidence rate is still below the seasonal flu, even in Hubei province. But the question is how it is going to develop. Most cases do not seem to be severe.

The overall fatality rate cannot be fully assessed with the data at this time, though as preliminary estimate it tracks around 2-3% which is lower than, e.g. SARS with is caused by a different coronavirus was around 15%, but higher than e.g. seasonal influenza (around 0.15%). I should add that the new coronavirus (2019 -nCoV) also has seemingly lower transmission rate compared to influenza, roughly in line with SARS. 1

Curious layman Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Some good news...They have a vaccine, but it will take up to two years before it's fit for use. Not sure how good this actually is though. Question: in the future, will it be possible to develop vaccines and release them immediately whilst still being safe? Maybe using advanced AI or something. Quote “We have already produced the vaccine, but it will take a long time to test,” Yuen Kwok Yung, chair of infectious diseases at the University of Hong Kong, told the South China Morning Post, revealing that his team had isolated the previously unknown virus from the city’s first imported case. https://www.vice.com/amp/en_asia/article/y3mw37/scientists-have-already-developed-a-coronavirus-vaccine?utm_source=quora&utm_medium=referral Edited January 31, 2020 by Curious layman

fresh Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 6 hours ago, John Cuthber said: Which figure? It is said the confirmed cases is more than 150,000, and some experts doubt the virus is from lab. It means it’s origin may be from bio-weapon. -1

Nobody in their right mind thinks this virus is from a lab. 24 minutes ago, fresh said: It means it’s origin may be from bio-weapon. No. You seem to have misunderstood. This is a a science web page not a conspiracy theory one. 24 minutes ago, fresh said: It is said the confirmed cases is more than 150,000 By whom is this said? Do you have any credible support for that?
