And if you scroll down that thread, you'll find another post on a 21st case, that of a 55-year-old poultry seller in Anhui province.

Do NOT believe the news coming out of China they will keep this quiet as long as possible. I have always said that there are too many people and mother nature will find a way to get rid of us. Even if the CDC comes up with a vaccine Mother Nature will come up with something else to kill us off.

I just hope my son and I are not part of the kill off. But if we are I hope my neighbors survive and use my stores.

hi i still say its got something to do with the 20000 dead pigs found in the river3/4 weeks ago,

else where is its source, something very  very  odd here

Also just my observation: if this specific version is brand new, and never seen before in humans, why and how did so many cases show up all at once (within a month or so) all scattered around? In other words if the human strains are unique then H2H must be happening right? Or am I reading this wrong.

We hope that we do not rely on vaccines alone in preventing the disease. In the Philippines not infected with previous novel viruses like the SARS & Bird Flu we prevent new or prevalent infectious diseases the practical way. We use a disinfectant that is not inactivated by organic mater, dirt & soil, non-toxic & truly non-irritating to spray critical areas of our air & sea ports.
These viruses can be eliminated & without pathogens the disease will be stopped on their tracks. For more information on the disinfectant please visit our YouTube page & just type out scimla....  

Several reports that we are up to 24. Not very clear math but reliable reporting source.

Thank you Albert. I have been lurking on the site a very long time not contributing because my perspective is somewhat dry to your community.
I am keeping close tabs on the progression of numbers and correlation to hidden information (from a math perspective not political). I am a math analysis expert (information theory and complex systems) and building some tracking models to determine derivatives of the data for predictive outcome and analysis of the quality of sources. Currently using five models (media only reported, CDC, who, CDC china and hybrid who/media).
Not much noise in the data but there is little reporting quality consistency from the various sources. Media sources drop data (pass on less information)
From a personal perspective I want the numbers to go away (stay low) but from an analysis perspective I need more data (more cases).
Data so far "suggests" that "Chinese official" data source are most referenced sources without prejudice to quality of data.
I would love some data on confirmed negative cases, particularly from close contacts to do better analysis. We would all learn a lot from that data.
