    The patient is a man in the east of the country, who travelled from an affected area of Northern Italy. The Dept of Health's National Public Health Emergency Team says the patient "is currently receiving appropriate medical care".

    Reckon they're doing something wrong, also N95's aren't as effective with beards.
    Also, going to pray time x6 per day or so (even during this tribulation) won't help.


    I was just answering Deco99 I never tried to imply the source was correct.

    My thoughts on case numbers in some recent new outbreaks:

    Iran - sudden increase in cases starting 9 days ago, high proportion of deaths from the beginning.
    Prompted Twitter speculation about locally-evolved hypervirulent strain.

    Italy - spike in cases starting 9 days ago, high proportion of deaths and ICU cases from the beginning.

    Today, first death in USA (Seattle, Washington) - a man[edit - Trump & early reports said woman] in her 50s with pre-existing health conditions and no known contact with anyone from affected areas who died in hospital.

    Why are first cases looking unusually severe in these outbreaks?

    We've seen from China that if people are going to deteriorate to the point of needing ICU treatment, that takes 2-3 weeks or more.
    WHO report on China said early treatment gives best outcomes.
    People presenting at hospitals with severe / critical symptoms had much higher death rates.

    If first cases come with high ICU case and death rates, then it's likely infection was already spreading for weeks while authorities were oblivious.
    That means that there will be many more infected with less severe symptoms.

    S Korea has begun mass testing (200K members of cult church are to be tested!), and so confirmed cases are running well ahead of fatalities there, and ICU cases & deaths may be reduced due to early detection.
