Coronavirus: Death toll climbs to 106 as China tightens measures

7. thank you

nice... I have a home game on my Ipad called "Plague, Inc." and I entered as much data as I could (speculating a bit on some of the items like transmission vectors, symptoms, etc) and the result was both fascinating and frightening.

The game has had the help of the CDC in constructing the science of pandemics... obviously since you can quickly mutate the virus in the game you can make it spread very fast with complete lethal results.

When modeling this coronavirus, I didn't have it mutate at all.

Oh, you would be surprised at how well the world map in the game looks like the world map at this John Hopkins site.


Last postscript - if the next 24 hour report shows 7,000+ infections... that would be right in line with what my game predicts and would mean that we are at near 0% containment despite various places around the world shutting down transportation to/from mainland China, etc.
