China announced new cases of coronavirus on Thursday, according to state broadcaster Xinhua, the biggest jump in a single day and has risen dramatically from a few thousand confirmed cases China reports daily. Chinese health authorities have also reported 254 new deaths, the largest single day since the crisis began in December 2019.
The wild jump on Thursday may have been due to new guidelines for reporting patients with coronavirus in Hubei province, which is the beginning of the violence. Hubei doctors are now diagnosing other cases with CT scans of a patient's lungs and a patient's history of exposure to others, rather than a lab test that only looks for a coronavirus.
There are now more than 60,000 confirmed cases of the virus worldwide 1,369 deaths. Approximately 13,332 cases of coronavirus occur, causing the disease we just named COVID-19
Lab tests for coronavirus are less available in China, as are large numbers, with doctors around the world reporting false negatives. The Centers For Disease Control (CDC) held a press conference on Wednesday to announce that hundreds of tests distributed in the U.S. they were wrong and informed patients that they did not have the disease, in fact, they had it. The United States recently confirmed 14 cases of the virus but experts such as former head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Scott Gottlieb, say he expects that number to grow in the country weeks to come.
Gottlieb told the Washington Post yesterday that he believes American doctors are getting it maybe 25 percent of coronavirus cases "at least" added, "We'll see those problems begin to appear in two to four weeks."
While some health experts outside of China seem to be hoping that the new Hubei reporting methods will provide a more accurate picture of the public health problem that is occurring in Asia, and perhaps suggest that the disease is not as deadly as previously thought, some are worried that a CT scan may take other lung conditions. is the new direct coronavirus. One public health expert who was skeptical of new diagnostic methods told reporters New York Times
These new reporting systems are not being implemented outside Hubei province, according to Shanghai Health Commission spokesman Zheng Jin, who provided a press conference on Thursday. It is not immediately clear whether other major Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, with only 366 and 315 confirmed cases in the Johns Hopkins order virus tracker, will start using the new method soon.
The Chinese Communist Party has let down local leaders, by expelling Hubei provincial secretary Jiang Chaoliang on Thursday, after a public hearing in the troubled region. Jiang will be replaced by Shanghai's mayor, Tin Yong, according to New York Times.
Large public gatherings have been banned in China, with tens of millions of people locked up, but event planners and community organizations around the world have also cut back on their activities. The World Mobile Congress
And near China, the Catholic Church of Hong Kong has even postponed it for two weeks, expressing concern about the virus.
“The next two weeks will be an important time to put an end to the epidemic. To avoid the gathering, the Diocese has decided to hold all Masses on Sundays and two-week days, including the Liturgy of Ash on Wednesday, from 15 to 28 February, "said Cardinal John Tong Hon, Hong Kong's Postmaster Administrator. posted online. “Some Church members may be disappointed. But I hope everyone understands this is not an easy decision. ”
