What is the total number of cases in China now?
 
The latest I have on Thailand is that they have eight confirmed cases.

There appears to be a cluster in Germany, with four now confirmed who work for the same company.
 
5,974 total cases now.

Newly reported cases today were less than those yesterday. 1,459 vs 1,771. Signs of slowing or related to new year?

The video in this thread is really good. According to the speaker, there will be separate peaks in each of the major Chinese cities and although the text on his graphs is hard to read, it looks like the modeled peaks don't occur until May 2020. I think we are a long way from seeing a slow down.

New pneumonia patient dies in South China market

According to a nearby shop owner, Xiong Yijun often travels to the western part of the market because of business, which may be an important reason for his infection.

Beijing News (Reporter Xu Wen) As of 24:00 on January 21, nine patients with new coronavirus died in the epidemic. The reporter was informed that Xiong Moumou, the second official reported death in the epidemic, was the owner of a seafood store in the South China Seafood Market during his lifetime.


Liu Chang (a pseudonym), owner of a battery car repair shop near the South China Seafood Market, told reporters that Xiong Yijun (a pseudonym) 's store is located at No. 6, Sixth Street, East District, which mainly specializes in shrimps. Because of business, Xiong Yijun often went to the western part of the market. Liu Chang believed that this was an important reason for his infection. In his observation, the western part of the South China market was the hardest hit area of ​​the pneumonia epidemic. "80% of the illnesses are in the western part."

Xiong Yijun's business is in the Eastern District, but he lives in the Western District. In the old community near the western part of the seafood market, merchants living in the South China market are affected by the market closure. Many residents have already returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year in advance. Xiong Yijun lived here before his death. In Liu Chang's view, Xiong Yijun's life track is very fixed. Picked up at the seafood market at three or four in the morning. After busy at eight or nine, I took a break, crossed the exit on the north side of the eastern side of the seafood market, and came to play chess at the door of a grocery store every day.


According to Liu Chang, Xiong Yijun has three daughters who all do business in the South China market. One of them is a member of the South China Market Shrimp Association. After Xiong Yijun's death, the three daughters returned to the market, but have not seen each other since. He speculated that the daughter may have been isolated.


In Liu Chang's memory, Xiong Yijun was not tall, looked quite lean, and spoke loudly. His sudden death surprised Liu Chang.


According to the official report, the deceased Xiong Moumou, male, 69 years old, became ill on December 31, 2019, and became worse on January 4, 2020, and was transferred to Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital for treatment.

New coronavirus (2019-nCoV) #Wuhan pneumonia Two corpses wearing CCP uniforms lie on the street, and they are also physical bodies! Viruses are not classified, do n’t go crazy Sick, two corpses wearing CCP uniforms Wuhan virus can invade the heart and cause viral myocarditis. Due to the painless heart, it directly caused sudden death. Now there are people all over the country who suddenly fall on the street and are not counted as Wuhan pneumonia" Perhaps we should start a thread looking at viral myocarditis related to the NcoV?

actually, one more note... folks discuss airborne transmission.. CoV is roughly the size of influenza, 80nm or a little bit more. i've not seen it anywhere, but on the flu side the study below is of interest for aerosol transmission, specifically the importance of keeping indoor RH above 40% to head off formation of droplet nuclei (vs large droplet). having flu floating in dry still air for up to 24 hrs is concerning. and on the ppe side, an N95 has 300nm (.3 micron) size holes.

I wanted to bump this comment because it was really clear early on in the pandemic that COVID-19 was airborne. We have noted that here on this thread just due to its particle size and that positive relationship to suspension in air.

TPTB always knew it was airborne. That is why they hoarded the available N95 masks for use by healthcare workers.

To set the record straight.
