I know that i am not always political correct but just posted something twice.
The first time it was not showing up.
The second got a response, seemingly from peak prosperity “i posted twice the same” and now i am at a loss…
At the bottom of Worldometer’s page, I found this explanation for the surge in numbers February 12:
Report from Hubei: 14,840 new cases and 242 new deaths. [original document]
Surge in number of cases due in most part to the adoption of a new diagnosis classification.
In conformity with other provinces, starting today, Hubei Province will include the number of clinically diagnosed cases into the number of confirmed cases.
Of the 14,840 cases added, 13,332 are due to the new classification while 1,508 are new cases.
There were 242 new deaths (including 135 clinically diagnosed cases).
1 new case in the UK (a Chinese national). First case in London.
1 new case in Hong Kong and 1 recovered.
3 new cases in Singapore - “While most infected patients will recover, some may become seriously ill and a small number may succumb to the infection ultimately” said the Minister for Health. Out of 50 total cases, 15 have recovered, 8 are in intensive care.
Catching-up on all things PP, didn’t see this posted yet:
Coronavirus Threat Greatest In Cities & Other Densely-Populated Environments

Not sure why now 3 nCoV videos are not yet posted to the PP website. Maybe the PP site bandwidth just can’t handle the additional traffic as suggested by another PP member.
The new name will take getting used to, So when we’re trying to search on the term, which term do we use? Coronavirus, Wuhan coronavirus, new coronavirus, novel coronavirus, nCoV, 2019-nCoV, COVID, COVID-2019, Chris’ facetious “Ninja virus”. Nice to see WHO spending time on the really important stuff.
The prime ministers statement is brilliant. Its about a strategy , and if and when. Its useful , something people can appreciate interpret and use… Not this ambiguous garbage peddled by the US and others.
Looking for the militarytimes.com article I had read earlier, I stumbled onto two short, informative articles on military.com:
