We have 2700 confirmed cases, 80 dead. Some also in the West and we are still talking about these initial 41? Are we a pre or post internet civilisation? Honestly 4chan is doing better than this. Reading through their noise is better than the clean data coming out of the officials. For example they have people in pools of blood on the street with people in the bio suits China are using. Maybe it's obvious people will throw up blood with this new SARS, but the officials aren't mentioning it. Sperm may contain the virus for months. Again obvious, not seeing it on official feeds.

Where are you getting the 2700 and 80 numbers from? I couldn’t find a reliable up to date counter. Even the CDC only lists countries.

    Their "Situation Report - 7" link is broken (points to something, but the wrong document). I managed to guess the correct URL: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200127-sitrep-7-2019--ncov.pdf https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situati... This says 2741 confirmed cases in China and 2798 globally.

  Those are legit numbers. Also 3/5 of the North American cases are new from yesterday.

In pretty much zero cases do I believe reading 4chan leads to a better understanding of an event than reading the news does. Coughing up blood is a symptom of pneumonia, which has been reported since the beginning of the outbreak. Also, how is lifetime of the virus in sperm relevant at all and do you have a source for it? I couldn't find anything online about that and can't think of how it could affect anyone.

> obvious people will throw up blood with this new SARS, but the officials aren't mentioning it Aren't mentioning it? How can you say that? The linked article directly addresses this right in the Findings section, where it says, "haemoptysis (two [5%] of 39)". Wikipedia's definition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoptysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoptysis): "Hemoptysis is the coughing up of blood or blood-stained mucus from the bronchi, larynx, trachea, or lungs." So 5% of (that small sample size of) patients cough up blood.
