I also noticed that some of the Japanese cases were tested once and gave a negative result, then tested again days later with a positive result. So I think it could be more complicated, especially if you are testing many cases and trying to avoid false negatives or positives

Hopefully it’s one of those cases that are coming out of people easily beating this thing... almost zero symptoms and then gone.

Immune system might have a chance that close to birth. But still, how does that even happen? You’d think the maternity ward would be as far removed/sealed off as possible. Only way this should have been possible was if one or both parents were positive.

This thing is bipolar. Every day the numbers out of Wuhan get more concerning. Yet the rest of the world is very meh.

The Chinese health commission pulled the update for the rest of China, looks like they're adding another 193 new cases for the rest of the country.

Probably going to get a huge increase in the next two days, the CCP has ordered the local Wuhan government to have all the tests done on all suspected cases by end of day on Friday.

No one should be complacent, because this virus has the ability to mutate easily. If it can mutate to become more communicable, it can also mutate to become more lethal.

According to the report, late on Saturday evening, Tencent, on its webpage titled "Epidemic Situation Tracker", showed confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (2019nCoV) in China as standing at 154,023, 10 times the official figure at the time. It listed the number of suspected cases as 79,808, four times the official figure. And while the number of cured cases was only 269, well below the official number that day of 300, most ominously, the death toll listed was 24,589, vastly higher than the 300 officially listed that day."

Also from that article:

potentially the actual number of infections and deaths, which were astronomically higher than official figures, but are eerily in line with predictions from a respected scientific journal.

And how would they already have that information? Sounds like something you would say if you were putting out fake numbers.... “it wasn’t always this bad, it just mutated”
