Good afternoon. As usual, I’ll start with the latest numbers. As of 6am Geneva time today, there were 40,235 confirmed cases in China, and 909 deaths.
Outside China, there are 319 cases in 24 countries, with 1 death. The overall pattern has not changed. 99% of reported cases are in China, and most cases are mild.
About 2% of cases are fatal – which of course is still too many. A lot of people are asking, where is the outbreak going? Is it getting better, is it getting worse?
