I believe there's one reported in South Korea today too. Italy is the first country to close all incoming and outgoing air traffic to China after two confirmed cases in Rome. Think UK did the same yesterday as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of international airlines did the same. Italy's government announced state of emergency for 6 months and banned all flights to/from China. Georgia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, North Korea, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea and Tuvalu also suspended all China flights. Russia closed the border with China. Singapore banned entry for Chinese citizens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,327 Posted February 2, 2020 Author Subscriber Share Posted February 2, 2020 Latest update from China: 14411 confirmed cases (+2590 since yesterday) - 2110 of those in serious or critical condition (+315). 19544 suspected cases (+1556). 304 deaths (+45). 328 recoveries (+85). A big rise in confirmed cases as well as a worrying rise in cases in serious/critical condition. On the other hand the number of recoveries has also increased significantly whereas the rise in counts of deaths stayed pretty much the same as yesterday. There's reportedly 169 international cases (+13) but I don't have a neat graph mapping it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Nudge, I just read that myself. It is frightening how this deadly disease in spreading so rapidly. I really hope that it can be contained as quickly as possible. Being in Vietnam, you are on the border with China, I hope things aren't that bad where you are. I am currently in the Middle East for work and this virus has arrived in this region as well. The number of coronavirus cases around the world has overtaken the Sars epidemic which was spread in 2003. This is quite worrying, especially for those living in China and the Far East. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're going to see these numbers decrease drastically in two weeks from now. It's shocking how fast this thing has spread and I am even wondering if some of these countries are reporting the right numbers. China is going to take some time to recover from this.

The forecast model is predicting the peak in April - honestly I'm not sure how real the reported numbers are (apparently there's a bottleneck due to limited testing capacity) and I wonder if we're going to see more local outbreaks in some other countries given that it took over a month until it got fully blown in Wuhan. It's a massive hit for China for sure; the impact on economy alone is going to be huge. The increasing number of recoveries is expected and should continue to grow exponentially; if the predicted fatality rate of approx. 2% is correct then it's still huge given how many people get infected.

How come? Because I follow the development of it? I think it's pretty clear that it's unlikely to be an issue in the West. China and surrounding nations is a different beast altogether though.
