I do understand your point. I just assumed that others with milder symptoms had been treated.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

I'm guessing they're specifically referring to patients who have contracted viral pneumonia from it. The estimated number of infected is based on the fact that a lot of people have likely only had cold-like symptoms, and have recovered from it on their own.
The tweet is also referring to the first patient cured in the Zhejiang Province, a province in which you won't find the city of Wuhan.
Also, a quick little factoid: the easier a virus spreads, the less severe it tends to be.
Yeah, I'd certainly be a bit weary around them if they start coughing.
On another serious note, I think the chance of them carrying are very low if the official line is to be believed.
It’s a tight Set up, Punch Line. Easy to understand. It’s a well structured joke.
What the actual feck? Disgusting

If Xi is saying that publicly, I fecking dread to think what he thinks behind closed doors. I really don't think it's like the Chinese to admit something like this. The situation must be stark.
If you eat as much wildlife as they do then this type of thing will continue; until they have eaten everything.
I imagine they withheld information to avoid mass panic but may end causing mass deaths. We humans really are an unintelligent species.
Someone sent me some report saying all outbound flights are closed except those to xinjiang and also the camps they have there are also in disgusting conditions so the virus will thrive there.
Nobody has really called the Chinese out for this tomfoolery of eating crazy animals like bat's and stuff.

I regularly play badminton with many Chinese who travel back and forth to China.
I'm going to stick to long, flick serves instead of my trusty short serves going forward.

Was following live coverage of this for a few hours yesterday, might've got carried away.
Can Souness find a way to blame this on Pogba?
Agreed. Bats are beautiful creatures as well, why would anyone, that wasn't starving, want to eat one? Shame.
Bats natural appeal aside, you wouldn’t have thought there’d be much on them!
Keane - 'I'd give China more time before closing airports'
Carragher - 'You'd give them MORE TIME!?'
Keane - 'I would, yeah, I'd give 'em at least a year of free travel'
Carragher - 'A year!?'
Keane - 'Aye, you've got Pogba in the background, he's a nuisance...'
Yes, and I've read today that a doctor's died. There's dead people on hospital floors with patients sitting around the bodies. It's horrific.
Black chicken
Absolutely terrible and also terrifying - they need to close any affected areas right down, like airtight, immediately.
Really hope this gets under control soon.
This is becoming pretty scary for me. We have Carnival coming up where people from all over the world come here in their masses. I’m dreading someone bringing this with them.
There's a terrifying video of patient violently shaking from what seems to be the shivers. This may well be far worse than what the Chinese government have revealed.
They were apparently falling on purpose so the medical trucks would stop for help. Not sure about shaking though. Harder to fake
China are experts at hiding things, so I'm sure things are a lot worse than they're presenting them.
Better start prepping!
Deodorant and a lighter?
Duct tape too.
At least there's 2 of you.

Feels a bit surreal
Chickens, cows and pigs doesn't transmit deadly viruses?
The global response does seem heavy handed for what is being reported. The reported death rate figures aren’t vastly different to normal flu so what gives?
Haven't our immune systems become used to their viruses as we lived in close proximity with them for thousands of years. Civilisations that haven't been in contact with these animal in the same way that Europeans, Asians and Africans have would likely suffer. I think this is one of the reasons disease spread when Europeans arrived on the Americans and came into contact with the natives who did not have an immunity.
Simply put, its a new strain, not understood well, no vaccine, mutation is possible. However, that said, this is 2020, modern medicine works wonders so it may well be controlled soon rather than later.
This is going to be
@Sean_RedDevil that video was raised earlier. It's fecking horrible which is why none of us posted it to the caf. You should spoiler it.
This is absolutely nuts. Theyre building a special hospital in 144 HOURS!
its much much more serious than we think.
its much much more serious than we think.
144 hours? You sure? It took them 3 years in 2012 movie.
It's also an old vid from a couoke of years ago
Let’s hope so eh?
Nah, I've read the Caf steak thread, there's feckers in there that think the only way to cook meat is to give it the most fleeting glimpse of an unlit match. Live rodents would be hors d'oeuvre to them.
Isn't this just a bad flu which will fade into the background like the swine flu, bird flu etc
