    In addition, Another 44 people have tested positive for the coronavirus aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship docked in Yokohama, Japan.


    This bring the total number of cases on the ship to 219, including one Japanese quarantine officer
    -- the largest outbreak of the virus outside of mainland China.

    Holy shit they're still docked there?

    The thought of mass forced quarantines is honestly more terrifying to me than the virus itself.

    Yeah, dafuq, I don't pay attention for a day or so, and it jumps up to....


    1367 deaths


    60,414 cases


    Japan just confirmed its first death. But that still means only 3 deaths outside china


    Getting even weirder now, how do you get 15,000 extra cases in China in one day and number of cases everywhere else in the world that isn't China is still only about 600

    I watched this episode of Full Circle with Anderson Cooper and Sanjay Gupta. In it Gupta says that the Corona Virus in Wuhan is less deadly than the flu.

    China deploys drones to monitor people not wearing masks and make them go home and put on masks.

    Reason 4 they list
    "Some people do get pretty sick from it. It’s not completely clear yet just why"


    Don't worry, it's more panic that pandemic, but we don't know why some healthy people get really sick and die from it just yet

    Errr okay ;)

    You were saying .....................

    Coronavirus cases surging, has ‘potential’ to be global pandemic

    The deadly new coronavirus continued its spread beyond China with cases surging rapidly Monday in Italy, Iran and South Korea.

    The number of people sickened by the disease has now topped 79,000 globally, officials said.

    “The past few weeks has demonstrated just how quickly a new virus can spread around the world and cause widespread fear and disruption,”
    said the head of the UN’s World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

    “Does this virus have pandemic potential? Absolutely, yes,” Tedros said.
