That is only right if our understanding is correct about mortality rate and incubation time. Incubation time could be upto 24 days now, global times on twitter saying it 42 days so who really knows.
Well the extended incubation time would explain why British Airways are not flying to and from China until end of March earliest!
Second point....is it just me, but new cases are popping up on here pretty quickly over last few pages compared to a while back where you could read page after page before new cases were reported........its giving the feeling to me that this thing is spreading much quicker

There's not as many comments as a week ago. Lots of people already left the thread.
Can you actually respond to what I said please? Whether people have left this thread or not (are you keeping a record of names?) is totally irrelevant to what I posted....with all due respect

93% of patients were still in hospital at the end of the period studied, so don’t be too comforted by the mortality rate, it’s almost certain to go up. The language of the study seemed to imply that once you become critical your chances aren’t good.
And only 5% of those went critical.
What I said, and am saying is, that study wasn't definitive.
Are you disagreeing with that?

Ok. But did they use 4 tests in each instance to confirm?
If the sample collected properly and the test run properly they don’t need more than one. PCR is a very reliable and easy to perform test methodology
Being that HHS personnel had the only access to the people I imagine they have staff competent enough to collect and perform
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Washington, D.C., seized a package of dead birds from the luggage of a passenger traveling from China, the agency announced on Monday.
The unidentified person arrived at Dulles International Airport on a flight from Beijing on January 27, where CBP agriculture specialists initiated a baggage inspection and discovered the prohibited birds -- which the passenger said was cat food, officials said.
