Damn those Nurgle Worshippers!

[Bumber]

Life is, in a word, disease.

Two Iranian nationals have died of Coronavirus

Several more infected cases are confirmed in Iran. Qom has shutted down schools and universities.

Considering that Iran had suspended flight from China as early as Feb 1st, and the relatively low traffic between China and Iran, why Iran suddenly has these new cases is confusing.

Canada has a new presumptive case: A woman whose only travel history was Iran, in late January.
Seems like Iran has got a big problem on its hands now. Apparently they got a big election going on today as well.

South Korea’s cases have jumped rapidly to 156. Thanks, cultists.

Saw this in the news feeds:
207 cases reported in prison in Shangdong province!
10 minutes later
Head of Shangdong Province Justice Department has been sacked

I wonder if it's MERS - another coronavirus - misdiagnosed as the hip and new Novel Corona.

Unlikely if they're using the actual tests. They're screened to prevent false positives from closely related viruses.

I saw this too. Even prison is not safe!

Corvid: None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me!

It's possible they allow travel to and from places that allow travel to and from China, or other places where sick people are currently. Unless you shut it all down, you're going to get the flu.

New Research: Bats Harbor Hundreds Of Coronaviruses, And Spillovers Aren't Rare

This animated gif is fun to watch:

In other news Italy suddenly jumped overnight to 20 reported cases.

[ChairmanPoo]

That animated gif is inaccurate as hell.

For a start, in Spain there have been only two cases, both of them in the islands.

[feelotraveller]

Shows 2 for Spain for me (at least now...).  Its graphical resolution is at the national level.  Shrug.

[Reelya]

Same here, two shown on Spain, but like ft said, it doesn't resolve below the level of whole nations. I looked that thing the first time and noticed a ton of cases on some spot east of Japan, was wondering what that was, but then realized it's the cruise ship.

[ChairmanPoo]

Thing is, AFAIK one was in the Canary islands and another in the Balearic islands. Both were asian tourists. For the sake of analogy, it's as if a guy got sick in the Cayman Islands, another in Güersey, and you regarded Coronavirus as endemic to the British mainland.  It kind of misinforms as to the actual extent of the disease in Europe...
