Silly man you. SARS number is total over 9 months u want to compare with number over 3 weeks?ah so... yes the world is one big online shouting match. May the most outlandish win.
your statistical analysis is correct, but humans by and large are creatures of emotional response. if there is something new and unknown our monkey brains kick into panic mode and we scramble (ok maybe not you) to rationalize and contain however ineffectively with leaky bottles this new and unknown fear. Don't even need traffic accidents. Bathroom accidents alone even worse. But it is something that we have had time to acclimatize to and our fear factors mitigated. As you say, we should be jumping in fright whenever we see a car because of the number of humans who have died or were seriously injured by cars.
nice that NZ is relatively isolated from tiongland.
Precisely why I can't understand the logic of only wearing mask if you are unwell. People next to you may be unwell, and your chance of an infection is higher without a mask.
what?! no gloves or mask ah?Just went for dinner with a friend who works at the airport and has checked the snotty passports of more than 5000 Tiongs over the past 3 weeks. If anyone is going to catch the Wuhan virus it will be him and me.
yah lah. in an earlier post before that I mentioned that it's still early in the game, numbers look low for now. could rise over time, but there could be something to what sam said. so it's cautiously guarded optimism.Silly man you.

KNNKNN can use mathematical incremental probability to guess KNN
Eg numbers 3 5 7 10 is an incremental of 2 slowly to 3 then 4 .....
29jan wed = 10
30jan thu = 13
31jan fri = 16
1feb sat = 20
2feb sun = 24
KNN
Only if you exchanged bodily fluids during dinner.
another mutation ?
They say the mutation likely from interaction between wild animals kept together in captivity at the markets, when they don't normally meet in the wild.
So unless boss' dinner companion was Ah Meng, unlikely for mutation.
Interestingly if you looked at the stats of Asia Pacific countries.. you could probably rank the health care systems by order of detection of the number of active cases.
Philippines and Indonesia have poorer health care systems and probably lower detection capability. Compared to Japan, HK, Singapore.
