Thank you for that link.
Unless someone can give me (or I can find myself) a link in the China National Health Committee site where they are rescinding their order not to include test positive but asymptomatic cases in their counts then I will continue to believe what I have read. That is the bottom line no matter who says what in any other venue.
Also:
Typically WHO responses include US CDC because of limited world resources, generally. It is very unusual not to have a world class expert from the CDC included in a WHO response to an emerging novel disease event that has infected (conservatively) 44K+ people.
In fact, after 14 years I have never heard of a major disease outbreak where part of the WHO response did not include some experts from the US CDC. Most people may not know this but WHO does not actually employ many 1000s of doctors and other experts. They rely on partners for most of their response. Heavily in the typical response teams are CDC experts who have dual roles - working for the US CDC and as designated partner to WHO.
I am not going to argue any more about this. I think it is clear what is going on here. People can read this thread and make up their own minds.
If I find any official order that re-establishes test positive but asymptomatic cases to the official counts I will update this thread.
