In all seriousness the Chinese need to do a better job across the board. They are clearly not the most transparent government in the world when it comes to these things and it's likely the numbers are much higher. Culture also plays a big part and that is the hardest part to change. This won't be je last virus to come from China that will cause problems globally.

CANADA is using the term Presumptive Cases. I think I'll have a Presumptive beer.
We've had over 12 million cases of flu in the US this year with more than 6,000 deaths, but you don't see that plastered all over every headlines. This coronavirus is little more than a rhinovirus with ADHD.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. They recently lied about African Swine Fever too.
Said they had something like x cases, but ended up buying medication for x^2 animals. All this went down during the China trade tariffs too.

For sale. One case of 3M face mask filters. Asking price: One Meeellion dollars.
Canada (.as of Jan 27, 12:23 p.m.)
1 case confirmed (the first one that was presumptive previously)
1 case presumptive case (his wife)
19 additional cases under investigation
Wash your hands after going into public places, don't touch your face until you have washed your hands. Keep away from coughers and sneezers. Masks can make the situation worse after it is damp from your breath as it becomes a sponge.

Where did you hear that? That's not what the CDC is reporting.

I've been googling and haven't found anything on that either. I found where a 62 year old doctor in China died.

Post some links. Lots of misinformation out there.
Math doesn't add up. There was only one confirmed in Illinois. 1 confirmed and 1 dead would be two. So far no dead in the US.

My bad, 1 confirmed case but nobody dead (bad word of mouth on my part.)

Being a majority vegetarian population certainly helps. Maybe humanity's future is in vegetarianism.

Maybe it's dumping their dead into the river they get their drinking water from help keep them healthy.

I think what helps is avoiding exotic culinary trends such as bats, snakes, etc.

I believe the last couple were believed to have started with bats and jumped to other mammals before going to humans. The latest one there was some claims of snake but some others studying it don't think so. Hasn't really been tracked down yet.
