    There just was the first confirmed human to human infection outside of Asia in Germany. A guy got sick over the weekend, went to work on Monday as he felt better and was sent to the doctor by his boss. He got infected during a seminar in Germany where he got into contact with a women from Shanghai whos parents are from Wuhan.

    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.

    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.

    Title should better be using "WHO" instead of "Who". Got quite confused on this one.
