A Full-blown Community Epidemic

An update from China re 2019-nCoV in China. 6:47pm, 23 Jan, 2020

scmp.com/news/china/article/3047319/wuhan-coronavirus-full-blown-community-epidemic-chinese-health --- Add the https and www in front.

"A full-blown community epidemic" in Wuhan, a city of 11 million. Bigger than NYC.

Guan Yi, director of the State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases at Hong Kong University said, "Although a travel ban had been introduced in the city on Thursday morning, the “golden time” to contain the virus had passed, as most of the people travelling home for the Lunar New Year holiday had already left. They might have been in contact with patients in the community and still in the incubation stage when they left Wuhan. They are probably virus carriers on the move.”
