To an extent. Obviously all China or any country can report are cases that have been tested. Assuming the vast majority of people don't get sick enough to need hospital care, the actual number is obviously likely a lot higher.

Oof, that sucks. Guess it's time to stock up on hand sanitizer for the whole family.
Yes based on the current case definitions.
At this point I think the focus has shifted from China to the other countries where it has broken out
I just hope that our governments are looking at the Chinese pre-fab hospital and figuring out plans for how we would do something similar (or better) in case we have to. Identifying suitable sites, ensuring the resources are available, etc.
Anyone could build such a hospital, but actually doing it takes planning and effort.
I think it's unhelpful to denigrate the Chinese effort as "Just a pre-fab", but it's equally unhelpful to claim that "We are fucked because only the Chinese totalitarian state could force through such a project in 10 days when we'd still be arguing over planning permission".

If you're covered by Green Book T&C's they have to. The green book states something along the lines of any illness related to an infection like this is covered by sick pay. Also says that it won't count against your entitlement of (up to) 6 months full/half pay

I've been expecting this. Actually surprised that it hasn't gained a foothold in London yet.if anyone in central london

This is what I was waiting for. It puts those dismissing the virus right next to Trump, and as much as I'm not a fan of the extreme tribalism going on, in serious situations like this one I'll take the silver lining.
Coronavirus or not, I really hate when that happens. One can catch a cold from people like that. (who know they are sick but won't cover their mouth)

Basically it is based on a project they put up during the SARS outbreak, so while it was erected in 10 days it requires actually preparation times, for stocking up the material and the equipment. It's not likely any wester nation planned for a SARS outbreak inside their border. Not on this scale.
It's unfortunate but I think everyone needs to prepare for the eventuality of cases in their area.
The cases in Italy we're now just seeing means people who moved from Italy to other countries have had nearly a week of being potentially infectious, and we're starting to see an inability to track the infection routes, which means there are local cases and secondary infections now happening in countries.

Damn my company just released all company memo banning travel to China and South Korea (surprised not Japan but we do have a decent amount of business there), and adding a bunch of items for travel caution - asking people to focus on video conferences where possible for other travel. And saying that if an employee raises a concern about traveling to another country, that should be accepted by the management team and other options should be explored.
We travel a lot as a sales team, so these are huge statements.

It happens almost every day, people are just crazy inconsiderate. I usually walk to work, but back home I'm usually too lazy to spend another 1.5 hours walking...
Can I ask you a question?
What is your theory here?
People always post this kind of stuff that kinda imply something but don't quite say it, and obviously none of us can know for sure, but like, what do you actually think?
You think Xi Jianping called the Hubei provincial ministry of health and told them that even though the real infected number is 60k he need it to be down at 41k?

Still take your trips, surgical masks are not affective, there are some real bargains to be had, and the rule is unless the Gov tells you not to go the travel industry will not refund you

He's worried because the overperforming stock market is the biggest "achievement" he can slap his name on right now. If those gains start to evaporate he's in trouble.

I'm curious how are countries that haven't seen COVID yet testing potential patients? Is it based on symptoms or is there some test kit being sent around?
...he said that you should go on trips because there are bargains right now? Honestly..
It seems pretty clear that contaiment in Europe is not going to be possible. There are already several cases of community spread in different countries. I think that with the state of the virus on two different continents we can expect it to run its course globally. I don't think that is going to be too bad, but it sucks for those in risk groups.
I was in the north of italy 2 weeks ago and this morning my throat felt funny and my ears are blocked + noseflem a bit. No fever and honestly it just feels like a cold. These are more symptoms of a cold right? I've been sneezing the past few days. I dont feel like its a respiratory issue.. nor the need to cough at all. will keep an eye on it though.
Travel restrictions stop being effective once you reach pandemic phase, unless country bans ALL travel which is overkill.
If you were in one of the high-risk regions you should get checked just to be sure. Or at least stay at home for 1-2 weeks. It is probably a cold, but better safe then sorry currently to prevent spread.
Sounds like a typical cold virus.

Yeah, and from a London airport as well. However I'm just really worried as to whether it'll get bad but not 'that' bad, meaning that we can still go. I do love my family but they're really not the kind of people to easily heed warnings and they've had a history of brushing my concerns off as...

Yup, once it was on several asian countries and with a 15 days incubation time contaiment didn't seem too probable.
I was in Torino from monday to wednesday 10-12. Is Torino in the high risks?
Thanks, honestly i'm not worried and i often get colds.Sounds like a typical cold virus.

If the numbers of severe cases really are between 15-20% like people have said, then it will overwhelm the capacity of even the best health care systems, because no country is going to have enough hospital beds, much less ICU beds for that. And that's not even taking into account lost wages, stock crash, and economic recession that will result. And that's not even getting into deaths, either from coronavirus or anything else deadly that someone else gets during a period when the hospitals are overflowing. This could be much, much worse than people expect.
I just flew from Tampa to Chicago last weekend for less than $150 round trip. It was probably one of the best flights I've been on even with the crowded plane - NO ONE was coughing, hacking, or sneezing. It seems like if people are even a little bit sick they are staying home right now. There were a couple of cases in Chicago early on but it seems like they were contained pretty quickly, and the traveler came through O'Hare and not Midway. Seems like business as usual here in the US for now, for better or worse.
Makes me wonder if I should maybe just skip the wrestling event I was planning to go to on the 7th and 8th. I can also expect international travelers to be there. It's some money lost, but I can live with that.

Nothing quite like turning a Pandemic disease into political tactics.
We're at a point where we have a handful of new countries everyday announcing confirmed cases and these people still have the nerve to shit out of their mouths.
i'm playing through The Division 2 and this is like the exact plot lmao
I just went to wiki and that makes it the 46th territory with confirmed cases of CV.
Probably posted already but Sweden now has two confirmed cases. Second patient had been in Italy.

Take into account that not everyone gets ill at the same time, and that the 15-20% is composed mainly by older (65+) people. They will be mainly reterees which will not have that kind of economic impact. Is bad, but not recesion worthy imo.
It's pretty obvious that this happens. We learned about the italian outbreak over the weekend, and yet no carnival was canceled.
With the incubation period of two weeks and how high the traffic between germany and italy is, it was just a matter of time.
There will be a lot more cases next week.
I wouldn't say you are already dead, but at this point, personally, I'd be concerned.
