Nothing to see here folks, we're coping just fine and dandy?

The nurses who wrote the open letter in the Lancet calling for help in Wuhan appear to have now retracted it. The Lancet says the authors got in touch, said their account was not first hand and asked to have it withdrawn. https://t.co/IisW0saJlC pic.twitter.com/iTncRkAmjd

Some of the countries most affected by the virus are scrambling to halt its progress two days after Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), said the international community needed to act quickly before the narrowing “window of opportunity” closed completely.
