#2 Huge increase in confirmed (official) infections in Iran yesterday, about 1700. The disease may be spreading so fast there that, even if the govt wanted to be accurate they couldn't be.
this compares with about 800 new cases in SKOR, 800 new cases in Italy and about 130 new cases in Hubai Province in China
Speaking of China, outside of Hubai Province the efforts to prevent the spread of the virus have been, assuming the reported numbers are correct, surprisingly successful, e.g., Hunan Province which borders Hubai has had only 1000 confirmed cases and only 4 deaths. In fact outside Hubai only about 100 deaths in total so far (again if official reports are correct). |
