Still don’t have detailed info on mechanism of spread. Beyond resp droplet spread, is there aerosol or fecal transmission? Any more information on the earlier reports of asymptomatic transmission that was said to have occurred in China (though w/out details provided) (12/x)

Does that mean that in Wuhan some of the deaths have been because there were not enough ventilators or oxygen for the sick? If so, that is important for other governments' planning efforts. (14/x)

While both curves are exponential, the relative percentage remains the same. Only when the case curve is less than exponential the death rate will start to climb percentage wise. To estimate global mortality, one needs to look at the clinical case studies.

When are they going to start caravans of patients to other centers surrounding Hubei? It's not right that people are dying due to continued overload. Rhetorical, I know.

Too steady. The reported CFR has shown no deviation from 2.1. It's hard to believe tbh
