Novel coronavirus case numbers ’stabilising’ in China: WHO
The number of cases of the coronavirus being reported daily in China is ’stabilizing’, the WHO said. ’We’re in a four-day stable period where the number of reported cases hasn’t advanced. That’s good news and may reflect the impact of the control measures that have been put in place,’ a WHO official said before cautioning that it was too early to predict whether the virus might have peaked.
Chinese translation: we finally have the information flow under control.
"stabilize" my ass. the numbers are still in the thousands. if the numbers were below 500 a day then you can start claiming things are stabilizing.
There was buzz from the typical leak factories on the web, 2 days ago, saying that in 2 days time they'd tell this lie to ease panic, especially financial panic.
It sounds encouraging, but can we really trust these numbers?
