CORONAVIRUS or COVID19 Case Study
A major international crisis
URGENT measures to take
Since December 2019 in China (as early as Nov.17th for case 0), the world has been hit by a new dangerous virus called #Coronavirus or #COVID19.
This virus appears in WUHAN, 11m inh, 7th largest metropolis in China, Head City of HUBEI, major industrial state in central CHINA.
HUBEI has 59 millions inhabitants, comparable to Italy, Britain or Skorea. This virus also called #WUHAN_virus by Taiwan paper seems to have been best managed in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore & Hong-Kong but accelerated in other Asian countries such as IRAN, Pakistan and Malaysia…
This COVID19 crisis has now become a worldwide pandemy in over 207 countries with over 5 millions Humans infected & over 350,000 deaths so far. URGENCY is here
Fast and reactive actions by governments are Needed, such as massive testing of all suspect #COVID19bearers in more testing centers to STOP virus propagation.
1/ Official figures tell us > 2.2 m cases and over 145,000 people killed by the Coronavirus
2/ But everyone knows the truth is far beyond such figures. To start with, Chinese families in WUHAN have been looking for about 45,000 funerary urns vs 2,500 dead officially, for the metropolis alone, without counting for other HUBEI cities and significant tolls expected in other provinces as well. For this reason, we have decided to multiply all Chinese figures by 20, be that cases or victims toll figures. For memory, do keep in mind many observers & experts think such figures should be multiplied by 40 to 80…
a/ For this reason, China remains by far the largest country in terms of cases and dead figures, as you’ll see herebelow.
b/ a series of research articles by 14 Universities & research centers, taking into account travel data, letality rates observed in similar countries, number of cases exported (such as Russia to China in the last 15 days..). This is particularly true for Egypt where many foreign travelers were contaminated in February, when official figures were still at zero… Same goes with IRAN, which for ideological and power reasons, will never admit their absence of confinement and 2 major national votes have created a sanitary catastrophy, added to absolute lack of materials and machines to help heavy pneumonia patients to breathe and a virus mutation which induces more cardiological damages and a higher letality rate. Hundreds of mass graves have also been observed by satellites & local observers. For this reason, we have multiplied Iranian figures by 15 for the cases with a letality rate of 10% for the death toll… which alas makes IRAN the worst hit country in terms of lives lost. Over 116,000 dead so far in IRAN alone ! Keep in mind its population is 8 times larger than Belgium.. for similar figures in official data presently given to WHO, but health conditions worse, aggravated by US policy & less oil being presently bought by China.
c/ Taking into account the recent news about North Korea having officially 7,500 pneumonia cases. We have adjusted this figure to a minimum 150,000 cases (only 5% patients develop heavy pneumonia symptoms) with the present world letality rate of 6,7% aggravated to 10% because of lack of supplies in this country cut from the world, ie 15,000 dead. For the same reason, we have decided to multiply Egypt figures by 12 (with letality rate est.11%) and Algeria and Irak figures by 10 as both countries are suffering fast infection rates plus lack of beds, tests, materials, masks and respiratory units (ICUs). Same goes with Russia where hospital situation is a catastrophy with lack of all supplies and tests and over 500 cases of Chinese nationals have been tested positive as coming back from Russia in the last days. Here we multiply cases by 7, applying a 10% letality rate with looks weak in the hospital situation described as above. Again, in Brasil for lack of confinement, poor equipment and negationism by Bolsonaro and in Pakistan, because of authorities taking back 120,000 Pakistanese workers back from heavily infected IRAN some 3 weeks ago, we have decided to multiply figures by 7, taking the same letality rate as in Russia = 10%. Again in Turkey, where Erdogan told the world for weeks the country had no case at all, the official explosion of figures looks to many observers as too low compared to similar countries. Therefore, official case figures have been multiplied by 3, with a letality rate of 8% as an hypothesis.
d/ Looking at the sum of these hypotheses, made possible by hundreds of testimonies, citizens, doctors, nurses, journalists and science researchers worldwide, many of them imprisoned, endangered or killed by their various regimes, our new total reaches Over 5.2 millions infected and over 370,000 killed by the Coronavirus so far.
207 countries or territories hit. Over 5,200,000 cases known & estimated (China, Iran, Egypt..) as of Today, with over 370,000 dead. 40 highly infected countries of which 11 exceed 10,000 victims …
ITALY (+San Marino) > 170,368 cases & 22,208 dead. Cases revised with partial elderly houses figures (+13,000 & +1,000 dead). Hospitals lack beds, material and personnel. Country is slowly entering the peak of its 1st pandemy thanks to confinerment. Help received from China, Cuba, Germany (18 cases hospitalized there). Euro-League Football match between BERGAMO & FC VALENCIA has itself propagated virus to over 4,000 in Italy & Spain… Over 76 priests have died in Italy. Huge apparent letality rate of 13% is due to lack of testing and massive propagation by 80% of asymptomatic (no symptoms visible) unknown cases, estimated over 3 m.
RUSSIA > 195,566 cases & 19,557 dead. See note 2c. Terrible explosion of cases with Hospitals lacking of masks, gels, ICUs, beds.. Boarders with China closed by China this time. Over 500 Chinese expatriates to Russia back to China with the Virus. https://www.lepoint.fr/
SPAIN > 182,906 cases and 19,141 dead, of which >60,000 in Madrid alone & 5,037 dead. Cases revised with partial elderly houses figures (+10,000 & +1,000 dead). Hospitals lack material and personnel. Country in URGENT NEED of HELP. Death figures have skyrocketed in 15 days, with letality rate exceeding 10.5%. Football match between Bergamo & FC Valencia on Febr. 19th (Milano) proven deadly with vast propagation among supporters.
Submitted by InfoBrics, authored by Lucas Leiroz, research fellow in international law at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro… Last week, a secret document from the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (ABIN) was leaked on internet and published by The Intercept website. The document consists of a detailed report about the coronavirus pandemic in Brazil, taking an overall assessment of the …

ISRAEL > 12,591 cases & 140 dead. Though the country has virtually closed boarders, propagation is very quick and strong for the last 8 days. The Ultra Orthodox Jews, who are not respecting confinement & group meetings keep going to the synagogues & already represent over 50% of cases and death toll.
All figures may be partial or uncomplete as a lack of transparency or lack of tests and labs have been observed in many countries (< 45,000 tests/day in the USA), without mentioning the unwillingness to test of some countries (IRAN, North Korea..), which looks crazy or a crime vs their population, after virologists & medical observers.
Indeed, to counter a massive propagation with 80% of COVID19 carriers not knowing it, there is a clear URGENCY to TEST, quickly and massively, isolate and stop propagation.
All medical observers have indeed noted the earliest the cases are known, the better to follow up with transmission chains, such as in South Korea. On the contrary, when cases are known too late, as in Spain (11% letality) or in Italy (13%) letality rates go crazy for lack of preparation and follow up.

LETALITY rate
It varies an awful lot from 0.35% in Singapore or 2.1% in S.KOREA thanks to MASSIVE TESTING and follow up of patients’s encounters in the last 15 days with SMS flow ups sent to contacts to test to …5% in the USA, 13% in Italy, 14% in the UK and probably >15% in IRAN, because of a muted type of virus which adds a myocardite with a VIRUS which also attacks patients’ hearts… which is a precious information given by Iranian doctors forced to speak anonymously for fear of local police & authorities… They are mentioning huge fatalities and mass graves…
Even if actual average world known figures run at 7% letality rates (up +80%) with ~400,000 dead out of 5,500,000 cases, there are huge differences behind depending on 7 measures working .. when applied :
-
TEST massively all citizens & families in contact with knwon case (with SMS calls & teams of COVID19 data followers, who may be students or fast reacting research teams tracking all cases ; this may also be done by private start-ups or companies, which tend to be faster & more reactive than Health authorities. Success achieved by S.KOREA on this point.
-
MASSIVE CONFINEMENT to counter fast propagation rates, and avoiding crowds (Italy, Spain, concerts, big events..)
-
SYSTEMATIC CLEANING every day in trains, airplanes, airports, croissroads, streets, by specialized & equipped teams as in China & South Korea
