| Lafiel said: as I said earlier they just added the clinically diagnosed cases (over 13k) in Hubei to the tally - these show the symptoms associated with covid-19 (especially the lung dmg), but the virus hasn't been confirmed in them that's either because of limited ability to analyse samples or because of a high amount of false negatives the currently used test produces (probably a combination of both) out of the clinically diagnosed patients 135 or ~1% have died at this point |
The reason is because a lung scan is faster than testing for viral RNA. Viral RNA 100% confirms but it takes more time.
