because of "double counting", the death toll has been revised downwards by "108" ("湖北省因重复统计, 核减108例") to 1,318.
Deaths in Hubei alone are now 1,457 (increasing by 139! :eek: ):

BEIJING: Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for tightened control over online discussion and increased policing to ensure "positive energy" and social stability, state media said Saturday (Feb 15), as the country struggles to contain the deadly new coronavirus.

Xi's remarks were made public as the authorities have faced rare bouts of public anger over the handling of an epidemic that has killed more than 1,500 people and infected some 66,000 across the country.

READ: Commentary - How much damage will COVID-19 inflict on China's economy?
Censors had allowed some online criticism of local officials in central Hubei - the epicentre and origin of the crisis - but calls for freedom of speech and political reform were scrubbed after the death of a whistleblowing doctor from the virus.

The government must "strengthen the management and control of online media", and "crackdown on those who seize the opportunity to create rumours" on the internet, Xi said in the Feb 3 speech published by state media.

Simultaneously, "it is necessary to increase use of police force and strengthen the visible use of police", Xi said, calling for a crackdown on behaviour that "disrupts social order" including hoarding medical supplies.

Xi urged party members to "dare to criticise" those who had failed to carry out the Communist Party central committee's instructions, and warned "those who fail to perform their duties shall be punished according to discipline and law".

Local officials in Hubei have already begun to feel the force of Xi's orders.

On Thursday, the political chiefs of Hubei and its capital, Wuhan, were sacked and replaced by Xi loyalists with security backgrounds.

The province's top two health officials have also been fired.

Xi also called for the government to emphasize effective actions it has taken and "vividly describe touching deeds" from the frontlines of the fight against the virus.

"Let positive energy fill the cyberspace from start to end," Xi said in the speech, given earlier this month at a meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee, China's ruling council.

Xi initially kept a low profile in the early weeks of the crisis but has stepped up his public rhetoric in recent days on what he has called a "people's war" against the virus.

KUALA LUMPUR: An American woman who entered Malaysia after disembarking from a cruise ship in Cambodia was the latest person to be diagnosed with COVID-19 in the country on Saturday (Feb 15).

The Malaysian Health Ministry said in a statement that the patient, who is 83 years old, was among the passengers aboard a cruise that docked in Cambodia on Thursday.

“The Cambodian government allowed all passengers and crew members to return to their home countries after announcing that health screening had been carried out on them,” said Health director-general Noor Hisham Abdullah.

Out of the 145 passengers of the said cruise who flew to Malaysia on Friday, the woman and her husband were found to be symptomatic upon arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and were referred to the Sungai Buloh Hospital for further checks, he said.

The patient tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday and is now in a stable condition, said Dr Noor Hisham.

The test result for her 85-year-old husband, meanwhile, was negative. He is being warded and observed at the same hospital, Dr Noor Hisham added.

This brings the total number of confirmed cases in Malaysia to 22.

The statement did not specify which cruise liner the woman had travelled on.

There have been instances of cruise ships stuck at the sea since the virus outbreak triggered fears of a global pandemic.

A Princess Cruise Line’s ship, the Diamond Princess, has become the largest single cluster of cases outside China, with more than 200 people tested positive for the virus. The vessel is being quarantined off Japan’s coast.

Cruise ship MS Westerdam, which carried 1,455 passengers and 802 crew members, was turned away by five countries. It was finally permitted to dock at the Cambodian port city of Sihanoukville on Thursday, in a move praised by World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus as an example of "international solidarity".

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen was on hand to receive and greet the passengers on Friday.

Xi Jinping is going to have some CCP party meeting event in early March, forcing some hotels etc to open. And no one is allowed to wear a mask, very 'lose face'.

Expect the number of infections to skyrocket in March. Just the Tiongs' bad luck to have a modern day 崇祯皇帝 rule over them. They'll have to endure a little more, soon that regime will be kaput. :cool:

Those high SES elites have connections and they tend to know a bit earlier if trouble is coming.

Those silly pro-CCP Tiongs criticized him when he did that, called him 'unpatriotic' etc. :rolleyes:
