This is might be alarming
Philippine RITM took two samples from a Chinese woman age 60 on Jan 23 and 24. Samples were sent to Australia. Jan 24 sample was tested first and came out negative. The woman was released on Jan 31 and she went back to China. Australia tested also the Jan 23 sample and it is positive. This means while her immune system managed to fight off nCov 2019 she was still a carrier.
Basically, someone infected may experience only mild symptoms and could heal on their own before being tested. Authority could've dismissed some cases as false alarm without knowing that the formerly infected might've infected other people the day before.

Many doctors believe that deaths and infections in China are undercounted because hospitals and laboratories are under severe strain to test for the virus. Local officials in Hubei Province, the center of the outbreak, have called on health care workers to speed up the process.

Many sick residents in Hubei also say that they have been turned away by overstretched hospitals, which lack test kits and beds. :mindblown:

That's just gonna spread it even more!!!!

China warns Taiwan not to use the outbreak as an excuse for independence.
China’s government on Thursday accused Taiwan’s governing party of exploiting the coronavirus outbreak to push for Taiwan’s independence, referring to its effort to participate in World Health Organization discussions over the outbreak.

Taiwan, which is self-governed but which China claims is part of its territory, has repeatedly lobbied to be included in panels held by the W.H.O., the United Nation’s health agency. The W.H.O. cannot share information about the virus independently with Taiwan, because the United Nations considers it part of China.
“‘Taiwan independence’ separatists have seized on the opportunity to clamor for participation in the World Health Organization’s discussions, in an attempt to use the epidemic to expand the so-called ‘international space’ of Taiwan,” read a statement from China’s Taiwan Affairs Office on Thursday.

The exclusion of Taiwanese medical experts from international public health meetings during the SARS epidemic of 2002-3 had hampered prevention efforts, said Su Ih-jen, the former director general of the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control.

“The two sides of the Taiwan Strait must extend olive branches at this time, put aside political considerations and work together to fight the epidemic,” he wrote that in an opinion piece for The Times.

It's not the virus per say that will kill you. It's the hospitals being over run by too many people with the virus that they cant treat you. This is what's happening in Wuhan, and what happens when a virus runs amok. Either way we'll feel it physically or financially...
