Health experts are keen to put the virus in context, and insist that it appears contained for now.

Chinese health authorities said Tuesday that the coronavirus outbreak has killed 106 people and infected 4,515While the death toll is expected to continue to rise, and the virus to spread most of the cases are so far contained to China and the authorities, including quarantining several major cities and canceling Lunar New Year's events in Beijing and elsewhere.

"It appears to be very well contained," Mark Parrish, regional medical director of Northern Europe at International SOS, told CNBC Tuesday.

Hasn't hit it's peak yet. Not contained at all.

You quote a WHO spokesman? WHO has turned itself a joke in the past 72 hours. Check your source

Yeah China is lying about the statistics

It’s contained that’s why Trump is considering shutting down all flights btw US & China! Nothing to see here, move on ...ha

More CNBC rubbish. Contained You fools.

I hope they are right But I do not believe them. 14 days with no symptoms, no diagnostics test until recently and chances are people got infected and died before without knowing cause. Good news low death rate per infected.

Wow all that info is wrong - death rate is not 3% - we have to wait until patients are discharged to see what the true death rate is - it’s not just elderly that have died - a 36 year old healthy man has died

Wishful thinking. All the figures provided by the Chinese government are well-constructed lies. As a former journalist in China, I know this too well. A top government official from Hubei province just died of this virus. This is the second one.

WHO is totally corrupted by the Chinese government. WHO is still denying human-to-human infection, while such cases have already been reported both in and out of China. German and Japan even reported infected cases in which the patients never travelled to China.

Whoever authorized this post should be embarrassed.

fake headline for article, there are no experts, 1 persons 'opinion', as it spreads... nothing more than manipulation, it is NOT contained!

FakeNews

BS.ok I spoke with someone and they say more then 90000 people already die but not reported. That's with in a week. That's from the nurses in wuhaun hospital that say it.

Of course they say it's contained. Can't have mass panic even if it isn't contained.

Bullshit

Really? Well PHE_uk and MattHancock are prepping 4 Hospitals 🏥 in 🇬🇧 to assume the worse. Not an action you take for something that’s is contained. This presumptive stance is dangers giving how quickly viruses 🦠 spread. Dangerous Media

We should believe China why

You are now responsible for spreading false propaganda!

In any Outbreak or impending doom scenarios does the govt ever tell the peasants that something is about to happen ? Or do they ensure elites have a way out and the peasants keep buying

Germ warfare?

BuyStonks

🖕🖕🏻🖕🏼🖕🏽🖕🏾🖕🏿

Really? Contained? Not sure

too early to say that and mean it. 7-14 days from now maybe but Japan had it's first case of a patient who didn't travel through Wuhan.

save_the_tweet please

And by “contained” they meant “confined to Planet Earth.”

THIS VIRUS KILLS ALGOS TOO! ESPECIALLY TRADING BOTS! SPREAD THE NEWS!

bradloncar Great news and much respect to all healthcare and pharmaceutical workers involved so far.

HollyEllyatt Thanks for the misinformation. What a bunch of shit.

Friday afternoon at 1630 EST, the same experts will declare a pandemic and recommend all travelers be screened.

It did spread human to human in Japan. The bus driver.

Japan just had the first case of the virus spreading to a person that wasnt in China, so that means this is complete BS

All of a sudden

'It's not something that's going to end the next week or the next month.' Experts say China virus outbreak will last months at least.

CNBC and CNN reporting that Coronavirus is all Trumps fault. Apparently he resigned and released the virus to keep impeachment off of the front page of the newspapers - More to follow.

Lol here come the positive news flow BS headlines

Is China quickly building these pre-fab hospitals telling us more about the number of infected than the published numbers?

Is this a joke? Pull up an exponential chart..... The public is getting a disservice currently. Prepare now before the panic. At the end of the day you can use everything you buy now eventually.....

There is one confirmed case in Africa now (Ivory Coast). I hope this will not spread all over Africa. you can simply multiply (the official numbers) by 1.53 and you get a more or less number of how this will develop: Today: 4474/ Tomorrow: 6845 /1 week: 87808/ 2 weeks 1'723'360..

Coronavirus trade deal phase 1 completed

Go to China then and breath deep

Holy shit red candles someone jawbone this to new all time highs hurry!

no it has not for there is a man from Japan that did not travel in Wuhan or China got the Virus!

What a criminal-like message to make IMO. China reports cases up by 56% in one day and deaths up 29% in one day. Lead investors to slaughter on BS reporting of the economy and lead people to slaughter on stupid virus analysis w/o further comment. I guess we will find out.

Which is it?

surely!

the black swans getting worse

You should not mislead people with false information. This has a huge risk of global pandemic

Yesterday 28xx, Today 4xxx

Yep. Very well contained.
