NEW on coronavirus: many western countries may soon face Italy’s situation

Case numbers since outbreaks began in several countries have tracked a ~33% daily rise. This is as true for UK, France, Germany as Italy; the latter is simply further down the path https://t.co/VcSZISFxzF pic.twitter.com/xM6wXuMk4n

Creating hell, Seattle

EXCLUSIVE:
For weeks, thousands of flu samples sat in Seattle as researchers sought to test and flag them for coronavirus. The C.D.C. wouldn’t allow it.

When testing did happen, it was too late. The virus was upon us.https://t.co/mlEjBJl96Q w/ @sherifink

*Don't* give me advice using offensive discredited terminology.

*Do* come to my funeral (technically I won't be there, but I do appreciate a good sob story)

Yes!

Establishment organizations run by people in bubbles of educated elites have got to understand that policing common language is both alienating to many and undercuts the impression of hard-headed empiricism that persuades people to take them seriously when conveying facts. https://t.co/wca0WFXKMO

People are busy and have limited bandwidth.

If you're lucky enough to get just a piece of their attention, do you want them to remember to wash their hands or say "acquiring" instead of "infecting"?

Just say no to policing language!

Roughly 4000 people have died

Roughly 4000 people have died so far from #Coronavirus

Global markets in chaos.

During 2014/15 Ebola outbreak, roughly 30,000 people died in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

Markets didn't even notice.

The heartbreaking reality of being on the margins of the global economy.

This means African contries have zero impact on world economy. Sad but true.

edit to add Adekoya's correction:

Sorry, correction. It was close to 30,000 cases of Ebola infection but just under 12,000 deaths. The others survived. Sorry for that error! My point still stands though. 12,000 deaths is 3 times number of coronavirus deaths, yet there was no market reaction.
