Hundreds of teams of epidemiologists and statisticians scramble to figure out how far and fast coronavirus will spread and how deadly it could become

The coronavirus has so far infected more than 100,000 people around the world and killed almost 3,500 as of Friday. The question that scientists are scrambling to figure out is how far and fast it will spread and how deadly it could become.

Hundreds of teams of epidemiologists, mathematicians and statisticians are scouring for data, dialing into conference calls and communicating on Slack channels to share information about the disease. They are pumping reams of data into computer models to refine predictions.

Time to sleep humans, stop panicking!

After 45 days, back to office for the first time...just take it as a long break for most of people

Sorry but i have a hard time swallowing this coroner virus.

Oh well it was very good while it lasted too bad China had to come fu..k things up.

Not if the Trump administration has anything to say about it!

martyrabkin So that trump and Fox News (and possibly even WSJ) can tell them not to listen to those pesky scientists?

Man... think of how all those gays must feel when they spent 30 years slowly working out HIV, but when in 2 months they spend BILLIONS and put THOUSANDS to work to deal with the Wuhan Flu....

Listen, I’ve played Plague, Inc. I know the only people who survive are in Greenland.

Just ask POTUS. He seems to know everything.

How about y’all find a damn cure!?

Best case tens of thousands. Worst 10 million over two years. ? Can you make more info available, remove paywall on this topic?

Great time to buy stocks once the over inflated f at mongers on the left stop their tactics. The true rate is going to be closer to 1% as is seen in the S. Korea stats. They have tested many more people and it is showing that low mortality rate. Fear mongers are dangerous

Just bad cold for most flu killed more

The most pessimistic scenarios are just wishful thinking by Democrats and basement dwelling scientists who have predicting the destruction of the human race by virus. A great time to sell their books of pandemics.

None, they all get flu and die from flu

many thanks for the scientist effort.

Please, please temporarily suspend your pay wall. Thank you.

Farther than you think, hopefully to the top of Trump tower and we didn’t listen to the Chinese crying wolf, now we have to ride it out! Toilet paper for everyone.

The Insidious 'Wet Markets'.

Great! My field is being put to work! Love this!

Just look at Italy. And 15 million people locked down. And in the USA no leadership or tests or action

Hi bro,keep going! Don’t afraid of China!

I'm taking no chances.

Nothing can be done...... Maybe a vaccine. A few million people will die.

So it's just flu?

Fatalities are mainly the elderly, it's like China's solving their health and wealth issue with one stone(?)

Please remove the pay wall on coronavirus stories. It is the information we DON’T that will hurt us.

I feel like this is about like predicting the path of a hurricane

The President said it is just a freaking flu. Why panic?

This exercise encourages a do nothing attitude. You don't want to impede something when you want to know where it's going. coronavirus COVIDー19 CoronavirusUSA COVID2019

...and graphic designers! Whichever team comes up with the snazziest, attention-grabbing graphic has my vote.

TuPaisanoJK

Let's hope they work from home

It's just the flu bro.....LOL AKA, When Americans finally learn how the exponential function works.

The media ought to stop flashing these big headline words. It should be responsible not to contribute to social hysteria that may rage at pandemic level if not careful.

Keep stoking the hysteria, haven’t tens of millions gotten the flu in the US this season? No reporting on that but the 150 cases of coronavirus in the US will kill us all

And yet Fox News, which Rupert Murdoch owns as well, is deliberately spreading the 'president's' lies that it's 'contained'. You have zero credibility.

How many people will make millions/billions on “War on virus 🦠” As taxpayer money floods in, it will be sucked right up by chrony corps. For once, US corporations should pitch in and not have their hands out. Help the AMERICAN worker who will take the biggest hit

gtconway3d How many will needlessly get sick because the president of the U.S. is an incompetent narcissist?

How deadly is the virus?

Tell,me those clutsters of what looks like flowers. Is that really how the virus looks?

GUESS WHO COULD ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION

Tous leurs models sont erronés et les statistiques n'ont aucun pouvoir de prédiction sérieux Ce sont des couches de graisses on applique pour aplatir les données Rien de plus ?

*how fast it has spread, and how deadly it is. There are probably THOUSANDS of people who have had this, and figured it was the flu or a cold. Stop fearmongering.

gtconway3d 'Arguing with a Trump supporter is like playing chess with a pigeon. It will shit on the board, knock over all the pieces, then strut around like it won.'

How soon before Trump calls CDC numbers a hoax?
