Well. Infection rate is going down already. Death rate is starting to slow down. Death rate was never higher than a common flu. Healing rate is increasing drastically, many heal without medical needs.
So, should we really talk about a pandemic? A flu pandemic?
Or has the virus changed in the last few days and I've missed it?
- jacquesm 7y agoInfection rate in China is going down and the way they keep changing their criteria makes it hard to find continuity in the numbers. Elsewhere it is still rising.
- nednar 7y agoActually the changes in China are the reason why the number increased from 40k+ to 60k+ wasn't it?
- jacquesm 7y agoThat caused the jump. But those cases were there all along, just not reported. Now they have - again - changed the criteria and made them more stringent resulting in an apparent drop in the number of cases.
- dredmorbius 7y agoDay-to-day percentages are the numbers to watch. They're coming down nicely: 0.8% vs. steady 20% (31-Jan - 4-Feb), as high as 64% in late January.

Rest-of-world is going the wrong way.

- tim333 7y agoThey got the rates down in Wuhan pretty much by confining everyone to their houses. If they have to so that globally it's not going to be pretty.
