Update includes a huge increase in Confirmed in China because they changed how they diagnose, using imperfect lung scans faster than lab tests.

Deaths Outside Mainland China: Three, in Philippines, Hong Kong, and Japan.

In China, anyone with pneumonia and other symptoms will be included in confirmed cases and will be isolated for treatment.

Here's the latest look at the bug:

Clearly, the bug has not finished its mission.

But, LOL about the Corona bug pictured above.

I love the bug!

I don't think I'm very concerned about the virus. I believe there's a ton of cases in China because there's a ton of people in China, and it is a nasty virus. but one most seem to recover from. Then again, I've heard in the past few years that the globe is overdue for a significant pandemic, so

I have a cynical suspicion that we'll never know the true number.

I don't think China will ever know the true number within China.

Everyone outside China who was infected either recently traveled to China or was in close proximity to someone who was, like family or roommates.

It is a worry though, how long it can live on surfaces. I worry that poor cruise ship in Japan is going to get worse.

Agreed.
