For positivity, I interpret that it seems that areas hit the hardest which prompted (or proactively) testing with the widest net like China, South Korea and Italy aren't reporting new cases as quickly as before. (Edit - I lied, Italy just jumped over 2,600 cases on the last update)

But there's no way I'm trying to play armchair epidemiologist here either. Just a couple cents from loads of reading the past weeks.

Meh, all fake news. Not a lot positive a couple hours later.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Italy up 2,600. Iran up 1,000. China only up 18 if you trust their numbers. South Korea only up 114 where I believe they have the most extensive testing across the globe, so maybe that's good.

I think at the moment there is a lot of news hype and resulting hysteria that will eventually calm down once they realize the effect on a populations average mortality is less than the annual flu pandemic we face every year. "Test kits" won't stop it, all they do is enable a doctor to diagnose what virus someone has after they are infected. People in good health that have it won't necessarily test positive, so you can't use it to screen people. Travel bans will have an effect just due to the statistical logic.

The WHO is useless, its a health organization that is run like the UN, politicized and corrupt.
Too late to the game, and too corrupt to take appropriate action early on a powerful country like China when it needed to.

Its interesting how all the worlds annual viral pandemics originate from China, every year without fail. If the WHO was serious about "world health" they'd focus their attention on China to determine how and why its happening there, and only there, and then recommend appropriate action.

Well for one, China is the most heavily populated country in the world followed closely by India. So people literally live on top of each other jammed in tight quarters Multiple generations of families in small rooms. China is a very poor country for the majority of people so conditions would be poor and easy breeding grounds for things. Plus their culture and what they eat causes would contribute to it.

Supposedly this started in some live animal/fish market. I can only image what a place like that would be like. Awful, awful, dirty conditions. Jammed with people, animals and fish. Not to many places around the world have that. PLUS their government is communist so who knows what happens there.
