The Who has said a vaccine will likely be found, But it will take some time

Some of the 242 deaths were recorded by the new coronavirus, in the Chinese province of Hubei on Wednesday - the deadliest day of the outbreak.

It was also diagnosed with a huge increase in The Number of cases, with 14,840 People .

Hubei has started with a broader definition to diagnose People - which accounts for most of the increase in cases.

China has sacked two high-ranking officials in the Hubei province, hours After the new figures were revealed.

Until Wednesday, The Number of People , which was stabilized with The Virus in Hubei, where the outbreak originated, is on The Rise .

But the new cases and deaths in the province, The National Death Toll above 1,350 have driven, with almost 60,000 infections a total of.

China has been accused of the suppression of the full extent of the outbreak in The Past ," says the BBC's Nick Beake in Hong Kong .

Professor David Heymann, Professor of infectious diseases epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "What is in China is happening is that you have changed the definition of what the disease really is - Now that you are among People who have less symptoms.

"The deaths are of great concern, it is reported there is an increase in The Number of deaths, But if you look overall at the total number of deaths and the total number of cases, the fatality ratio is approximately the same as it has been - But it is still high, as high as the death rate from flu. "

Only in Hubei province, which accounts for More Than 80% of China's total infections - is with the new definition for the diagnosis of new cases.

Just about everyone who was already paying the Chinese official coronavirus able to see that they were incomplete. Government officials know that too. There is no way they are accounted for, all infected. How could you?

But at least we had to be what a trend seemed to be. We were able to observe, to try the pattern and to estimate the trajectory of the outbreak.

Now , that's gone too.

you can understand why it has been decided that People , The Virus symptoms plus a CT scan shows a chest-infection, are Now counted, the "definitely infected" column.

However, this has triggered the trend of mapping into chaos.

Over the last 24 hours, in Hubei alone, nearly 15,000 People have moved into the infected column. This sent shock waves would have been around The World , But actually, when you consider Wednesday, the cases, by the old definition, the phrase could also mean Another Day of decay: a completely different picture.

So, Now , we scratch our heads: we start the pattern again from Thursday?

This also has a lot of questions left what must have been the rate of The Real death, in the last few weeks, and the extent to which we should, the treatment of the total numbers seriously anyway.

Meanwhile, The Communist party Secretary in Hubei, Jiang Chaoliang , was replaced by the Shanghai party chief, Ying, Yong, according to state media. The Party chief of the Capital City , Wuhan, was also relieved of his duties.

It is The First major change to the Hubei officials, since the outbreak began in.

earlier This Week , A Number of health officials were

What are the new diagnostic method?

The province Now also includes "clinically diagnosed" cases in The Number of confirmed cases.

that means That it includes those who show symptoms, and a CT scan shows an infected lung, instead of relying only on The Standard Nucleic Acid tests.

Of the 242 new cases of death in Wuhan, 135 are diagnosed with such a "clinical" cases.

That is, even without the new definition, The Number of deaths in Hubei on Wednesday, it was 107, a new high for the province.

The province of 14,840 new infections include 13,332 clinically diagnosed cases.

in Total, the province has Now 48,206 confirmed infections.

What is ships the latest with The Cruise ?

it was A Cruise Ship that More Than 2,000 People has docked in Cambodia - according to him, turned away from the five ports, over fears that some of the passengers may be infected with The Virus .

The Ms Westerdam arrived on Thursday morning, according to Japan, Taiwan, Guam, the Philippines and Thailand, The Ship had all refused, although he's not a sick patient on Board.

What does that mean WHO's to say?

The one that was able to track down The Source of a transfer in all But eight of the total of 441 cases of The Virus outside of China, its head of emergencies, Michael Ryan said.
