#SPAIN— 55 cases of #Coronavirus now in total.

tud41 · 29/02/2020 18:50

@Sakura7 there are reports now that the fatality rate or more likely to be a little less than 1%... still 10 times worse than flu i know but not quite as bad as 3%

Also hugely depending on factors like where you live etc.

You forgot No need to panic.

Why are cases going up so quickly in Italy and France?

Correction

Why are the number of KNOWN cases going up so quickly in France and Italy?

Why are there so few KNOWN cases in the US when they are testing so few people and testing isn't even available in New York City?

And in within that lies your answer.

It is NOT that Italy and France are somehow having an explosion of cases that isn't happening elsewhere.

Better identification of cases is not the the same as having more cases.

I forgot #We Won Afghanistan

LaBelleSauvage123 · 29/02/2020 18:52

That makes sense, thank you.

WaterSheep · 29/02/2020 18:53

I thought this press conference was about coronavirus. Hmm

usernameishistory · 29/02/2020 18:54

So, in the states, you can get charged and pursued for payment for services you have not authorised, and are possibly not even aware of.

God! How can they call themselves great in any way!

Civil liberties, don't make me laugh

RedToothBrush · 29/02/2020 18:56

The death in the US was of a 19 year old.

WaterSheep · 29/02/2020 18:58

Just 22 cases?

Confirmed it was a woman in her 50s who has died.

LarkDescending · 29/02/2020 18:59

He doesn’t include the Diamond Princess and Wuhan evacuees in the total.

LarkDescending · 29/02/2020 19:00

4 now very ill.

ofwarren · 29/02/2020 19:00

NEW: Trump says the U.S. patient who died of coronavirus was a woman in her late 50s with underlying health issues, says 4 others in the U.S. are "very ill"

cheninblanc · 29/02/2020 19:02

Tinytemper66 can we have a link or source to that? That affects my dd if it were to happen

RedToothBrush · 29/02/2020 19:07

Sorry not 19. Being misreported

Afp reporting woman in late 50s.

ofwarren · 29/02/2020 19:12

U.S. will deny entry to any foreigner who has been in Iran in the prior 14 days due to coronavirus

DonkeyKong2019 · 29/02/2020 19:13

Has he mentioned the closing the Mexico border rumour?

yesuwasrude · 29/02/2020 19:18

we should be doing what every other nation does at several hundred confirmed cases, now. it is not okay for everyone to be walking around with sars virus in the lungs

LarkDescending · 29/02/2020 19:20

“We are looking at the southern border very strongly.”

DonkeyKong2019 · 29/02/2020 19:24

Oh I was hoping that was just a rumour! Good to see him seizing his opportunity 🤦‍♀️

belay · 29/02/2020 19:26

Is it possible to get travel insurance to cover for cancellations/change of destination due to a pandemic?

penguinsonaslide · 29/02/2020 19:29

I am very frightened and do not think I will be going out at all for the forseeable future.
