Have any children died of it yet?
There was a video last week showing dead children in a hospital in Wuhan, some people said it was fake but tbh it looked genuine to me.At the time we didn't have the stats (link above) which showed children seem not to be seriously affected by this virus. Now that data exists, why you would still believe it is beyond me.
Figures from the John Hopkins tracker WITHOUT Hubei Province:
Confirmed cases: 15,366
Deaths: 136
Recovered: 8,795
In comparison to yesterday, 293 more confirmed cases, 12 more deaths and an increase of 560 in recovered patients.
Deaths/(Deaths+Recovered) has been steady at 1.5% over the last week.

Can you do one for just outside of mainland China?Confirmed cases: 15,366

So 2% of anyone who catches this, diagnosed or never diagnosed, will die.
That's my take on it, and that is very scary.
10-15% would start to worry me. I'd think getting on for 2% of the people who catch it would have pre existing conditions making them vulnerable to many viruses.So 2% of anyone who catches this, diagnosed or never diagnosed, will die.

k these are still designed so you have to use a hand to open a door where at least 50% of males don't wash their hands is beyond me. Unless the designers of toilets typically sit within that majority.
It’s the one thing I think of leaving a pub bog. Instead of an open out door it’s a pull, on strong springs with a tiny D handle generally still wet from the last undried hands.

Sample sizes are too small outside of China so Wuhan would the statistical best fit still. My first reaction when I saw the figures some time ago and heard the WHO estimates was ‘where are all the other recoveries then’ ????
WHO really need to look at this - maybe they are already. But I have to say I don’t hold much confidence in them now it all seems too cursory an involvement.

Fewer cases in multiple countries should enable the combination of quarantine and less stressed health systems to get on top of things better than Wuhan could previously.
Nowhere near out of the woods yet and I think there could be more "Italy" situations in other developed countries and who knows what in Africa / LatAm.
Maybe, just maybe, the rate of new cases and deaths has peaked. Let's see

Back at the end of January you were predicting that the UK would now (ie almost a month later) be where China was at in january with thousands of cases and practically asking for something akin to martial law, mass building of hospitals and internment of all chinese tourists and you were getting ready to lock yourself away for 6 months. I am genuinely impressed you have managed to keep up that the state of panic for so long.
By now we should have seeing blooms all over the place. The lack of screening at certainly U.K. airports combined with the ongoing pneumonia monitoring and testing suggests something a bit odd about this outbreak. Because really by this point we ought to be well in advance of Italy. Cast your minds back to UK patient zero: he was all over the shop. They quarantined other doctors. They chased up other contacts after his chalet spree in Switzerland.
Nothing.
All patients have been released and the U.K. tests are still showing naff all apart from the 13 infected (superspeader + Chinese evacuees + ship evacuees).
Odd.
I would love to know if the monitoring is seeing any pneumonia spikes U.K. wide.
I still think China are over ascribing cases to wuflu for some other reason, or, this virus is ‘that bad’ but only against East Asians.
This will definitely spread in the UK. We had 4 fights home yesterday and at EVERY leg we were thermo scanned and had forms to fill in. Except for landing at Heathrow. The authorities here are not taking this seriously.
We were even scanned with some very state of the art technology at the smallest domestic airport I’ve ever flow to/from - the building was about 15mx10m!
It’s just ridiculous....

I’m prepping ph style today...wife is sending me back to the shop because I forgot to get tahini...how will we make humus on lockdown without it? No I’m not joking 
Let’s hope the tail off in numbers is genuine, there are enough contrarian videos on twitter and stories of undercounting so it would be good to get a less state controlled view.
