The city-state was widely praised for the effectiveness of its early response to the #coronavirus, but #2019-nCoV is now appearing in its crowded foreign-worker dormitories, where "social distancing" is not possible.

That's a pretty damning report. #2019-nCoV

I don't think anyone except extreme #conspiracy_theories people would believe that the Wuhan virus lab _intentionally_ released #COVID-19 or that it was a germ warfare candidate, but an accidental release (e.g., contaminated employee visits the Wuhan seafood market, coughs, passes virus to dozens of people) is a reasonable possibility, as is people catching it from a live animal's sneeze at the market.
I don't think there will ever be proof either way, but the rapidity and stringency of their response _once they finally acknowledged the outbreak_ and their quickly producing genetic maps could be used to argue for the lab's early involvement. (Personally, I'm neutral on either direct-from-animal in the market or direct-from-animal in the virus research lab.)

@mangeurdenuage There are still reports of people being reinfected shortly after recovering from a #COVID-19 infection. If frequent reinfectability turns out to be the case (and not just flaws in the testing protocols), herd immunity (by widespread use of vaccines or by enough people having been previously infected) seems like it is unlikely to happen.

As of 2020-04-17 18:00 EDT (US-Eastern), #USA #coronavirus stats:
* 699,850 #COVID-19 confirmed cases
* 37,242 confirmed deaths (in 47 days)
* Case Fatality Rate (CFR) rises to 5.3%
* Of the 96,384 cases with an outcome:
- 59,142 (61%) discharged / recovered
- 37,242 (39%) deaths
See https://nitter.net/BryanDawsonUSA/status/1251272919176687616
(Note: Real numbers are higher. Because of the testing shortage, many people still cannot get tested, and are sent home. I can't find the link right now, but I saw that Boston and Detroit are seeing double the usual number of "died at home" cases. It is not known if they are testing the bodies for the #SARS-COV-2 virus.)

#China admits to counting errors, raises their official #COVID-19 death toll by about half. https://news.yahoo.com/beijing-admits-under-counting-coronavirus-144928180.html [news yahoo com]
I did notice a jump in their numbers, but I thought there may have been another flare up during the few days I was not monitoring the JHU site. (Some sites have questioned the numbers out of China, referring to crematorium activity levels and restrictions in and around Wuhan as indicators.)

New #COVID-19 cases in #Spain #España higher than they've been for a week.
> Spain’s health minister said this week that the peak of the virus had been reached and the focus is turning to “bending” the infection curve. Spain has suffered more deaths per million inhabitants than any other nation, with a toll of more than 19,000 as of Thursday.
