On Dec 31, China alerts @WHO of an outbreak.
On Jan 7, @WHO announces they have identified it as a novel coronavirus, 2019-nCOV.
On Jan 30, @WHO declares a global emergency.
On Mar 11, @WHO declares pandemic.
And US still doesn’t have enough tests.
So sure, let’s withdraw 🤦🏻♂️
Dear Everyone,
The reason South Korea has so many cases isn’t that they prevented spread.
It’s that they *detected* the spread.
They tested hundreds of thousands of people, including asymptomatic + mild cases.
That’s HOW you do it.
Their death rate (0.6%) is a better estimate
