 And it's the current rather than cumulative number.


So at the very least the risk of becoming critical is 1/4 but it could be even higher than that.


How many of those in critical will eventually die? If it's, say, 1/2 then the mortality rate would be around 12%.

Sorry to repeat this one but the above suggests that transmission is a little easier than that. As I said above, I appreciate that this is anecdotal.

It would be a concern if you could catch it from someone during brief contact on a bus or train but we aren’t in that situation.

I'm not going to tell you which country as you will only make me feel worse.  Let's just say it isn't a place famous for its healthcare, albeit there is only one reported case there currently.


I start in Singapore. 


I'll cancel if and when I receive official advice, to do so, from the Foreign Office or the WHO. To do so now would be an embarrassing overreaction, not to mention a huge (and I mean huge) loss of money. I'm not sure if my insurance would cover it. 


While I'm there I will of course take all the precautions necessary, just like I presume Gandalf is doing now, who is also in SE Asia.

... each week I fill in my bit of data with regard to 'flu-like illnesses on Flusurvey. This is a webtool managed and monitored by Public Health England (PHE) and designed to monitor trends of flu-like illness in the community.


I have mentioned this on TWO before and was met with a deafening silence. Citizen science has an important role to play these days and, putting it crudely, if folks are not doing their bit for one of our national 'flu initatives their comments here ring a bit hollow. Tell me you have filled in your Flusurvey data this week and I'll be the first to sing your praises.


Anyone can participate. It's easy. Go to: https://www.flusurvey.net/

The company I work for here in Australia are going to announce there plans for staff returning from China tomorrow or Thursday. As I sit next to a guy who has been over in China for the past 3 weeks who returns on Monday I am concerned. Currently we do not have enough information regarding the virus and there is scepticism regarding the data on infections and fatalities from China. It will be very interesting to see how they proceed. Schools over here are now requesting students that gave been over to China do not attend school for the first 10 days of term which begins on February 3rd.

That's the point, otherwise what does the data mean? 100% of flu victims have flu?
