The number of confirmed cases of the new virus rises again in China while fatalities increased to 722, as the ruling Communist Party faces anger and recriminations from the public over the death of a doctor who tried to sound the alarm about the disease.

The number of confirmed cases of the new virus has risen again in China Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020, as the ruling Communist Party faced anger and recriminations from the public over the death of a doctor who was threatened by police after trying to sound the alarm about the disease over a month ago.

The U.S. Embassy in Beijing said a 60-year-old U.S. citizen diagnosed with the virus died in Wuhan on Wednesday, apparently the first American fatality of the outbreak. Following an online uproar over the government’s treatment of Dr. Li Wenliang, the Communist Party struck a conciliatory note, saying it is sending a team to “fully investigate relevant issues raised by the public.”

The episode has raised longstanding complaints that party officials lie about or cover up disease outbreaks, chemical spills, dangerous consumer products or financial frauds. Chinese citizens can be jailed on charges of rumor-mongering or making trouble. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said foreign passengers on another ship, Holland America’s Westerdam, won’t be allowed into Japan. He said suspected virus patients were on board. The ship, with more than 2,000 people, was near Okinawa and was seeking another port, said Overseas Travel Agency official Mie Matsubara.Hong Kong began enforcing a 14-day quarantine for arrivals from mainland China Saturday.

if i may point something out. look at the patients monitor. pulse 155, O2sat50, resp 58. this patient has an anoxic brain injury, should be on a vent. this patient was certainly not drinking water and was likely dead shortly after this pic was taken.

The herd needs thinning anyway. To many people already, I'm willing to take my chances.

AP changed the headline

Use confirmed loosely. You know they aren't telling the truth, right?

It’s obvious to most that some people value life and some people don’t have any respect for the sanctity of life, it’s very odd how people act towards each other

is that .00001 per cent of their population? Earth's just culling the herd. Common flu kills thousands every year, so this coronavirus? So what. People are getting freakin' tired of the whole media hype - I know I am.

722

Solidarity from all🌏countries, with China and the Chinese people is urgent. It's unacceptable and inhuman to utilise the corona virus crisis, as a political weapon.

XHNews It does no good to place blame. China, learn from mistakes, admit them, apologize & move on. The world is heart broken Dr. Li Wenliang RIP died. He is a hero. Be proud he was a brave Chinese citizen who tried to save lives. He's your hero now.HELPCHINAfindcoronavirusCure

My dawgs are fighting back!

🤔 Pondering....

I would assume more than 722 people are dead as well

Chinese public is missing the good doctor ,at the same time,we believe our country.

If it gets 1, 000 deads.....OMG... This is gonna be very serious for the world

That's my Amazon order stuffed then.

Would be kind of funny if China went full out capitalist because of a virus.

The start of the uprising and toppling of nations.

It is highly likely that RedChina is lying about the actual numbers of dead and the cases of infection. dictatorship Communism

Officially - wonder what the real figures are
