"BNO"? Never heard of 'em. Who owns them? Who are their key journalists? Where are they based? Why don't their articles list author names? (You are trusting sketchy sources, which helps explain your disproportionate panic.)

You are really extraordinarily out of touch. Anyway it is in the last paragraph of this article. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20200220/k10012293031000.html?utm_int=news_contents_news-main_003 …

Thanks for link! Google translates as: "According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, 28 of the confirmed individuals are seriously ill, some of whom are being treated in intensive care units. In addition, there is one seriously ill person who has not been infected."

Replying to @gojomo @Trumpery45 and
So: *fewer* than 28 in ICU, 'serious' not defined. (28-'serious') / (at-least-621-infections) = no-more-than-4.5%-'serious' (621 is floor on infection count: ~2000+ still untested, & in 30d even some neg results maybe from people who fully recovered from mild infections)

Maybe! But infection entered Diamond Princess January 20; quarantine only began 2 full weeks later. It's now another 2 weeks after that. Still zero deaths. (I expect there may be a few, but nothing there yet supports the idea of Wuhan-level mortality.)

Not 0 deaths. Nothing to link to, this is the full story: "2 Diamond Princess passengers have died from the virus, as remaining passengers continue disembarking from the cruise ship after 14-day quarantine. A total of 624 cases of the virus have been linked to the stricken ship."pic.twitter.com/bc1Ksq1XVj

Very sad that’s changed since our earlier convo, but doesn’t change overall projections much. Also, I can wait the extra hour for a real source to report something - no need to forward screenshots/unsourced-quotes - please include a credible link or untag me.

Uh, it's CNN, you referenced them earlier, figured, being character constrained, you'd recognize the format. 12hrs later, there's still no additional info, but feel free to scour their annoying "live update page," where this comes from. Get over yourself. https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/coronavirus-outbreak-02-20-20-intl-hnk/index.html …pic.twitter.com/BpoNeTg7Hl

There is no way to tell if a screenshot is actually from CNN – even if it has a 'CNN' logo, never mind "the format". As a matter of info-hygiene, it's so easy to stick to reliable sources, with links, that if you're not even bothering to do that, are you even washing your hands?

Replying to @DanielleFong @MorOhmic
High evidentiary standards are crucial for a meaningful discussion. As I've respected another person's previous "untag" request, I'd rather not be @-notified with "news" that can't meet minimum standard "links not screenshots". And if I'm mocked for that standard, I'll mock back.
