    Figures are late this morning, perhaps they ran out of gas to cook them?

    Dr John Campbell (https://www.youtube.com/user/Campbellteaching) has said unofficially he understands that the number of cases in Africa and Iran is significantly higher than reported.

    I had assumed that was just odd cases coming in not the official daily statement. Not reported as such on worldometer or BNO as far as I can see.

    Italy has overtaken Japan with 157 now, 26 critical, DP with 36 critical. My guess is Iran will overtake HK & SG and Korea the DP.

    And just as the first group of Canadians from Wuhan are released from quarantine suspicion grows as to longer incubation period.

    And boom here are some updated #s, Korea approaching 1000 (still early in Iran):

    I think the situation with Iran is concerning, the one that WHO has been most concerned about. A country with poor infrastructure, and secretive regime and lots of land borders. Likely the true total is many times the official, which is bad enough with a 20% fatality rate.

    I'm interested to know how the coronavirus outbreak got over to Iran. I am assuming someone infected flew from China to Iran between December and February and that was how it spread. Either the Iranian authorities did not implement any kind of checks at their immigration points or that infected patient zero was asymptomatic.

    President Moon Jae-in told the people not to "worry too much," but that easygoing attitude caused the government to miss a golden opportunity to curb the spread of the virus early.
    This criticism from more than two weeks ago looks very appropriate now.

    Contrast to Singapore’s response. Temperature screening for arrivals from Wuhan from 2nd Jan, Mainland China from 20th Jan, all land and sea checkpoints from 24th Jan. Travel restriction on those with recent travel history to Hubei from 29th Jan, and all of Mainland China from 31st Jan.
    The medical sector was also alerted from 2nd Jan to watch out for cases. If people were less complacent, there would have likely been fewer local transmission cases.

    A combination of Singapore’s government response and the Hong Kong public’s vigilance would really have produced the minimum of transmissions.
