27th of January? Is this yesterday's? Quoting:

2741 confirmed 5794 suspected 461 severe 80 deaths

Compare to https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51275896 , on 28th:

"The death toll from the new coronavirus now stands at 106, with the number of infections almost doubling in a day to more than 4,500."

Can't see sitrep for 28th yet.

I have this page open for the last 24 hours. It updates whenever the journos have tangible info. Dreadful.

Taiwan is included as part of China on this map, which it's not. WHO also excludes Taiwan from participating and gaining access to important information that can save people. Thank the WHO for making the world a little less safe by withholding information from those who need it.

Scare mongering. Do that with the normal flu for comparison.

> Taiwan is included as part of China on this map

Where do you see that? I only see mention of "Taiwan" on the map, no mention of whether or not it's part of mainland China.

> which it's not

Regardless of whether it's "de-facto independent" and whether the mainland has a legitimate claim or not, the de-jure situation is that Taiwan is not recognized by the United Nations.

And I think now is not the time to argue about the validity of the the mainland-Taiwan situation. It's not even productive to do so. Besides, Taiwan has already restricted travel to and from China: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-taiwan-trave...
