The WHO seems to have something to say.

"The detection of a small number of cases may indicate more widespread transmission in other countries; in short, we may only be seeing the tip of the iceberg." I can't make sense out of this statement. Is he saying there is just a small amount of cases, or difficulties with detection cause missing the real picture? What is the "iceberg" - lots of transmissions, I'd assume. Then what's the issue with detecting them and what is WHO doing to address whatever the problem is?
F*ck his "it may or may not rain" tweets. No fool will trust what he says (besides carrie lam)
When somebody uses words like tip n iceberg, prepare for the worse.
The full tweet is "There’ve been some concerning instances of onward #2019nCoV spread from people with no travel history to í ¼í·¨í ¼í·³. The detection of a small number of cases may indicate more widespread transmission in other countries; in short, we may only be seeing the tip of the iceberg."
Small number of cases = those with no travel history to China but have been infected.
Most of the testing has been done of those who have travel history to China, just like in Hong Kong where we're quarantining people who are coming back from China. There is no active testing on those without history. I interpret the 'tip of the iceberg' as those infected with travel history in China (i.e. those we are actively doing testing on to see if they are infected). There may be plenty more with no history of travel who are infected (the rest of the iceberg). For example, the people who went to the conference in Singapore and have become infected.

Back to the asymptomatic infections plausibility?
EDIT: Comes from The Telegraph...so you know, keep your stone of salt around. But...yeah.
Thank you for pointing out my quote was incomplete. Not buying why "travel to China" would be a differential factor at this (or earlier) point to assess one's probability of being infected. Especially considering WHO vision of not limiting travel. As the virus is being spread by people, anyone who came in contact with someone who carries the virus is infected, regardless of the borders. That is exactly what the world spread model is built on. Still puzzled what is this WHO guy smoking. WHO the fck appointed this clown to the post?
I don't think he can be called a 'super spreader' if the bulk of infections from him were to people that he he knew well and was sharing a ski lodge with!
