WHO finally admits Coronavirus 2019 is a Global Emergency
2020-01-31
[BBC] The new coronavirus has been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization, as the outbreak continues to spread outside China.

"The main reason for this declaration is not what is happening in China but what is happening in other countries," said WHO chief
Chip Diller
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
[a man who deserves to be fired without severance pay or a pension IMO; just three days ago he said there was nothing to worry about].
The concern is that it could spread to countries with weaker health systems.

The death toll now
[11am EST 30 Jan 2020]
stands at 170 people in China.
The official toll, at any rate. Heaven only knows what the real toll is.
