Experts fear numbers affected may be higher than first thought as US begins screening passengers arriving from Wuhan

 

More cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the Chinese city of Wuhan and a second person has died, according to local authorities. It comes as disease-modelling experts warned that far more people may have been affected by the previously unknown virus than thought.

The Wuhan municipal health commission said in a statement that four patients diagnosed with pneumonia on Thursday were in a stable condition, taking the total number of cases to nearly 50. The statement released in the early hours on Saturday is the first confirmation of new cases by the commission in nearly a week.

O.K.  cooking home already , bar excluded for other reasons as no fun anymore and stupid prices for a lady drink  e.g. water with a drop of color in it ….so remains only Shopping Tesco & Bigg C..., and Walking street I even forgot where it was that tourist trap...lol 

 

PS : just remembered , before coming Thailand I took my full 3 shots for Hepatitis abc (one not ,as no vacc. exist for , but not remember which one  ) as that is very contagious , maybe that's why never had anything here …., I was many years a clinical volunteer for meds (good paid occupation ) maybe all that stuff worked for good  ✌️ lol

Coronavirus spreads to Beijing as China confirms 139 new cases

 

Two new cases confirmed in Chinese capital and one in southern Guangdong province amid fears of virus spreading over lunar new year

A mysterious Sars-like virus has spread around China – including to Beijing – authorities said on Monday, fuelling fears of a major outbreak as millions begin travelling for the lunar new year in humanity’s biggest migration.

The new coronavirus strain, discovered in the central city of Wuhan, has caused alarm because of its connection to severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars), which killed nearly 650 people across mainland China and Hong Kong in 2002-03.

Wuhan has 11 million inhabitants and serves as a major transport hub, including during the annual lunar new year holiday which begins later this week and sees hundreds of millions of Chinese people travel across the country to visit family.
