Coupled with the reports of people in critical condition being at around 20%, it doesn't sound good. The incubation period is what worries me the most. This virus has been around for a couple of weeks now and it can take up to 1 week before symptoms appear. This is gonna be a crazy few weeks in front of us. I'm not the one to panic, but I don't like the sound of this, at all.That's fucking bad. Only 38 recovered? That makes it sound way more lethal.

dxy is like a social media for healthcare professionals, kinda. I would imagine information there should be reasonably accurate.Can someone confirm this is a legit site?

Recovered here mean discharged from hospital. I don't think we should assume mortality rates based on that data point.That's fucking bad. Only 38 recovered? That makes it sound way more lethal.
That two week incubation period is brutal. We're basically looking into the past right now, who knows what the numbers will be two weeks from now.
I'm pretty sure we're missing something in the translation. Maybe 38 people that were in critical status recovered?That's fucking bad. Only 38 recovered? That makes it sound way more lethal.

Yeah, probably. Still, that number of people in "critical condition" is close to 25% of infections. That's really high.

Well it cant be too bad. The worst that could happen with the missing remainder is that people are left brain dead comatose afterward and theres been no indication of that so far.
I feel like right now it's really hard to effectively judge these numbers. If the Virus gets caught mainly in people that are already vulnerable to diseases (very young/old/sick/etc.) it makes sense that there is a high percentage of critical conditions
It's also in the middle of a cluster of cities that are integrated with each other to varying degrees, there is really no easy way to isolate Wuhan from the cities around it, which is I'm guessing why we very quickly seen the same travel restriction they put on Wuhan applied to a whole lot of cities around it.The timing and location of the outbreak are so bad. Right before lunar new year in a major city that's also a major travel hub. Long incubation period, potentially no symptoms in some carriers, it just... sucks. I hope it can be quickly eliminated.
BEIJING (Reuters) - A doctor at a hospital in China's Hubei province, the center of the coronavirus outbreak, has died from the virus, China Global Television Network reported in a tweet.
Liang Wudong, a doctor at Hubei Xinhua Hospital who had been at the front line of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan city, died from the virus aged 62, it said.
Fuck. No. I really hope this story is exaggerated. This sounds bad. Way bad.
A Chinese reporter interviewed the woman who shot that video showing people covered in blankets inside the halls of a hospital. Turns out those weren't patients sleeping waiting to get checked; they were actually corpses. Things ain't looking well.
Won't happen while people have money at stake.
The Washington Post is reporting that China could be vastly underreporting the number of cases (possibly by 10x).
In digging past the headline, however, it's not clear if that was previously and now they're more accurate or if the numbers are still off by such a significant amount.
Yeah, they definitely need some international aid right now.I have read a couple of twitter posts in mandarin and after translating them (with Google Translate) it does seems like doctors and nurses are asking for supplies from abroad. A nurse was asking one of her friends in Australia for some mouth covers, and I also saw a video yesterday where people were re-selling used mouth covers on the streets. I honestly think the WHO should consider to raise the alert not out of fear of a worldwide pandemic, but to aid the Chinese hospitals and stores with supplies from abroad.

Exactly.No need to freak out. If you don't live in China, your chances of exposure are very low considering only 1 or 2 cases each in a couple countries combined with strict checks. If you live in China just make sure to follow all safety guides, ie: wash your hands, don't rub your eyes, wear a mask etc
This is kind of weird since most of the mouth covers I have seen is made in China. Perhaps they just need to stop exporting them for awhile and centralized the distribution? Maybe the government need to stop people from stick piling and In extreme casE ration them.

They are not denying any of this.
This is Chinese media -
Reporters often do that where they get their news from Chinese media (because really, that's the only source of information about most of what goes on in China), and then repackage it as "THE SECRET CHINA DOESN'T WANT YOU HEAR".
If this report is true than that would mean the total infection rate could be much much higher. Any thought on this? Chikor

Local Chinese here. My vpn is busted now so I can't access that report you linked, but there is one main known reason, causing people to questioning the accuracy and immediacy of infected rate data.
You need a specific kind of media-kit to diagnosis a nCoV infected patient, it's called "新型冠状肺炎病毒核酸检测试剂盒", but the supply can't keep up the demand right now. So, not all the infected are diagnosed in time.
