re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

McNeese Chinese students that have called home over the weekend all believed the numbers we are getting are severely suppressed compared to what they are hearing from family and friends back home. They are all in agreement and certain the death toll is over 1000 and climbing. Feels the number infected is too large to accurately assume. When asked if 100,000 was a reasonable number one young lady spoke up and said that number is way to low to start guessing but wouldn’t say a number she heard. Also said it’s in way more cities in China than being reported as well.
