- Infectious disease scientist Neil Ferguson estimates coronavirus could be infecting 50,000 people a day.
- He may be correct, as the data coming out of China look suspicious.
- A steady rate of 3,000 diagnoses per day points to the upper limit of detection kits that are available to the health workers.
In a video published Thursday, infectious disease scientist Professor Neil Ferguson said coronavirus could be infecting around 50,000 people a day in China. Worse, he estimates the cases will double every five days. Those numbers are baffling.

It is possible with all our pessimism, none of us have a clue just how bad it is. It could be so bad that they really don’t dare tell us because they think we would freak and harm ourselves and the world with the reaction. It could be so bad that every unreasonable measure at containment makes sense if we knew the scope and the nature of the disease. They may need to keep everyone away from everyone and decontaminate areas where sick people have been or else it WILL spread.
