VIENNA - The World Health Organization is concerned about the number of coronavirus cases with no clear epidemiological link, although the total number of cases outside China remains relatively small, its director general said on Saturday. Cases with no clear link include those with no travel history to China or contact with a confirmed case, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Twitter.

According to reports, the disease remained mild in 80% of coronavirus patients, and was severe or critical in 20% of patients, he said. In 2% of reported cases, the virus was fatal. “Our biggest concern continues to be the potential for COVID-19 to spread in countries with weaker health systems,” he said. “We have also published a strategic preparedness and response plan, with a call for $675 million to support countries, especially those which are most vulnerable.”

Ugh.. it is painful to look at his face now...

So like Walking Dead? It's inside all of us already?

How did THAT happen?

Online shopping.

Maybe if you smoke...

The bio-weapon theory is sounding all the more plausible.

This isn't over at all...Might be a good thing to catch it while the lethality is still low. 🤔 China, here we come!

viriyabot those which mentioned this a month ago were labelled as fake news instigating fear mongers.

They did not flag this as dangerous to avoid impacting traveling an commerce. Well the choice is money or lives

reversemode

I have no words

I keep reading this but no one is saying what is being done to address? Global govt’s need to hold a ‘Cobra’ meeting and take combined action ASAP or there’s no stopping the world becoming as China has been

WHO cares ?

They should have been concerned a month ago, their concerns are useless at this stage we’ve just arrived at

I’m glad he’s concerned. Now do something about it instead of simply being “concerned”.
