27th of January? Is this yesterday's? Quoting:

2741 confirmed 5794 suspected 461 severe 80 deaths

Compare to https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51275896 , on 28th:

"The death toll from the new coronavirus now stands at 106, with the number of infections almost doubling in a day to more than 4,500."

Can't see sitrep for 28th yet.

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.

Thought this way too untill I checked CDC stats on flu. Death/hospitalisation rates are completely uncompatable.

All of this is in addition to the normal flu.
