Thanks, but you might need to fix the link.
15 Australians refused a flight home from the Diamond Princess. I trust they will be detained if they try to re-enter Australia and dodge quarantine.
75,677 cases
2,123 deaths (2.81%)
12,064 severe (16%)
45,148 mild (60%)
16,342 recovered (22%)
Not many new cases reported today (+479) so there may be more data to come. (Edit: It seems they are screwing around with the definitions again, for who-knows-what purpose. I'll focus on the case count outside China from this point.)
Iran reporting 2 cases/2 deaths.
621 aboard Diamond Princess
503 rest of the world

Been a significant spike in cases in the South Korean city of Daegu. This is no longer contained to China.
Also one of the Diamond Princess evacuees who was cleared in Japan as negative, has been confirmed as positive on returning to Australia adding credence to the theory that people can be asymptomatic.

End to China travel ban looms
They can't be serious.
China is basically in complete lock down & who could possibly trust the data being released.
The Government must not end the travel ban.

There’s been some gentle conditioning towards this in recent newspaper articles, but it could be a career-killer for Morrison. Don’t be hasty, Scotty.
As an aside he is not the highest credentialed doctor in the state. Doctors who take these roles have usually been been medical administrators, for example the chief medical officer of the commonwealth is the ex CEO of The Austin.
That being said they are doctors and hopefully they are getting and using the best advice that would be coming from infectious diseases experts so we should take it seriously. However that is one scenario and whilst it is possible so is the opposite where it peaks and then reduces soon.
The concern is that evidently a key difference between this virus and SARS is that it has a much longer incubation period which makes the isolation of people who have potentially been in contact with carriers so important which is why travel bans etc are so important.
Opening the doors when there are so many unknowns would to me be an admission that authorities can't contain it. I've been out this morning to bulk purchase a few things. Just in case.
Appreciate the POV. Was just repeating what Epstein said.
FYI he looks pretty damn well qualified.

Sure they are well qualified but the best credentialed doctors in particular medical specialties are working in clinical practice is my point not working as medical administrators. Put it this way, if I was given medical advice related to a coronavirus by the chief medical officer of the state and also by the head of infectious diseases at a major hospital and they were different I would definitely take the advice of the 2nd one in preference.Appreciate the POV.

But hopefully it’s moot because the best medical advice is being given to our medical authorities by those who are experts in this field.
