Title should better be using "WHO" instead of "Who". Got quite confused on this one.

  The who.int you see is the url.
  - pzumk 7y ago
    The title probably got renamed and said “Who” before.

  https://multimedia.scmp.com/infographics/news/china/article/3047038/wuhan-virus/index.html https://multimedia.scmp.com/infographics/news/china/article/... I have this page open for the last 24 hours. It updates whenever the journos have tangible info. Dreadful.

    Scare mongering. Do that with the normal flu for comparison.
    - wetpaws 7y ago
      Thought this way too untill I checked CDC stats on flu. Death/hospitalisation rates are completely uncompatable.
    - jonathanstrange 7y ago
      All of this is in addition to the normal flu.
    - GrumpyNl 7y ago
      It doesnt replace the flue, its an addition.

Taiwan is included as part of China on this map, which it's not. WHO also excludes Taiwan from participating and gaining access to important information that can save people. Thank the WHO for making the world a little less safe by withholding information from those who need it.

  > Taiwan is included as part of China on this map Where do you see that? I only see mention of "Taiwan" on the map, no mention of whether or not it's part of mainland China. > which it's not Regardless of whether it's "de-facto independent" and whether the mainland has a legitimate claim or not, the de-jure situation is that Taiwan is not recognized by the United Nations. And I think now is not the time to argue about the validity of the the mainland-Taiwan situation. It's not even productive to do so. Besides, Taiwan has already restricted travel to and from China: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-taiwan-travel-idUSKBN1ZR14J https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-taiwan-trave...

    The map on page one of 'Situation report - 7' colors China red, and includes Taiwan in that coloring. (There are currently five confirmed cases in Taiwan, so Taiwan should be colored beige on that map, not red.)
- Merrill 7y ago
  Both the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China claim to be the sole legitimate government of all of China. Only one color is needed. >The political and legal statuses of Taiwan are contentious issues. The People's Republic of China (PRC) claims that the Republic of China government is illegitimate, referring to it as the "Taiwan Authority". The ROC has its own constitution, independently elected president and armed forces. It has not formally renounced its claim to the mainland, but ROC government publications have increasingly downplayed it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan

  This is super important. Asymptomatic infection is wild card. https://twitter.com/akihheikkinen/status/1222108700262981633 https://twitter.com/akihheikkinen/status/1222108700262981633

  Correction: the Chinese colleague was from Shanghai. She had been visited by her parents, who live near Wuhan, shortly before her trip to Germany.

  > a women who visited Wuhan recently. The German article says the lady was visited in Shanghai by her parents, who live in the Wuhan area. That's a pretty fast-spreading virus...

  The German Minister of Health (Jens Spahn) just gave a live interview. The German government made it mandatory for airlines to keep seating charts for 30 days and ask every traveler from China for a contact address where the person can be reached the next month. The Airlines will be mandated tomorrow, but it will take 3-5 days till the new regulation for hospitals to take effect, which makes reporting "Begründete Verdachtsfälle" "justified suspected-cases" mandatory, ie if you have the symptoms AND have been in China or had contact with someone infected. The minister also took the opportunity to criticizes all this panic and conspiracy theories in the internet. Everything is fine, nothing to do, nothing to see. What a shitshow its like the events from this morning hadnt happened yet.
