A friend of mine who is a medical doctor and therefore “should know what he’s talking about” claimed yesterday that according to some new estimate, the number of infected people in China is 10 times higher than previously reported.
This sounds like a reason to panic, but it would actually mean that the virus is less dangerous than feared, in fact less dangerous than the seasonal flew that hits us every year.
That information doesn’t seem to have made it into the WHO’s daily situation report as of today, so until it does, take it with a grain of salt.
