Coronavirus Update; A Record-Breaking 105 US Children Have Died From Flu So Far This Season -- February 22, 2020

It took longer than usual, but the daily global coronavirus numbers have finally been released. The numbers look good, again, as does the trend.

I track the coronavirus story at the link at the top of the sidebar at the right. Or you can directly to the global site. Some observations:

• growth factor is trending down;
• total deaths, change in total, day-over-day is down to 4% -- the lowest number yet;
• daily deaths, change in daily, day-over-day was another negative number, this time down 12 percent, day-over-day;

This is incredibly good news.

This is what is concerning according to the mainstream press: Coronavirus has jumped international borders and is now surging in South Korea. So, what are the numbers in South Korea?

• 556 total cases
• 120 new cases
• total deaths: four
• total new deaths.... drum roll .... two

There were no new deaths in any country, anywhere --- except for those two deaths in South Korea.

New cases, day-over-day: except for China, which had 648, and South Korea, 120, not one country had more than one new case. New cases in the past 24 hours outside China and South Korea:

• Japan: one
• Australia: one

Growth factor:

Daily deaths:

Meanwhile, the really sad reality, US only:
