February 14 2020 Coronavirus Update

The numbers recorded as having Coronavirus are staggering now and many people are suspected not to go to get help but stay at home in China with the virus too. People are afraid of forced quarantine, getting sick without their family, perhaps even dying with nobody around them and also afraid they won't get good care in hospitals that are over run with patients.

Currently there have been

Diagnosed cases : 67,077
Deaths: 1,525
Recoveries: 8,158

If you assume thousands are at home with the virus and China are not reporting accurate numbers there could be easily over 150k cases and 5k deaths (my estimation). From watching under cover reporting inside funeral homes many deaths are not recorded as Corona virus but are likely due to it.

I hope that as many people as possible recover and as few more people as possible contract the virus however the numbers are bleak.
