27 min ago Decline in coronavirus cases in China is "real," WHO official says From CNN Health’s Jamie Gumbrecht The World Health Organization has seen a steady decline in novel coronavirus cases in China since the end of January, including in Hubei province and the city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. “We questioned these numbers while we were in China, we scrutinized this data and we believe that this decline is real,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Programme, said during a press briefing on Tuesday. She said they believe this because of the extent of case finding, contact tracing and testing among other surveillance systems. Van Kerkhove did not say whether the virus has peaked in China. “We’ve seen the comprehensive measures that China has taken and … we believe that that has had an impact on changing the natural trajectory of the outbreak in China,” she said. “We believe that this is possible in other countries.” For countries other than China – including Italy, Iran and Korea – that means having an aggressive approach to looking for contacts, social distancing, hand washing, respiratory etiquette and readying systems, she said.
2 min ago CDC releases more than 100 people from quarantine 127 people have completed their 14-day quarantine at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said today in a statement. This group included 125 individuals from the Diamond Princess cruise ship as well as two additional individuals, the statement clarified. 15 other people who were repatriated from the cruise ship remain “locally in medical care or quarantine because of their close contact with a confirmed case,” the statement said. This decision comes after the city of San Antonio filed a lawsuit Monday against the federal government to obtain a temporary restraining order over the government’s actions to release individuals from quarantine and the government’s “failure to consult with and incorporate local government in the planning and implementation process, and risks imposing a serious burden on the City's emergency services.” A judge denied the motion for a temporary restraining order the same day, court records show. Today, however, the city praised the CDC for making changes to release plans.
18 min ago Coronavirus testing to be covered by Medicare and Medicaid From CNN's Jason Hoffman An administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said today that any costs associated with the coronavirus test would be covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Seema Verma's remarks followed an announcement by Vice President Mike Pence Tuesday evening saying that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would issue new guidance that “any American can be tested (for coronavirus), no restrictions, subject to doctors’ orders.” Asked by CNN if the testing would be free and what would be done to help those who could not afford it, Pence said guidance was going to be sent out immediately that notes that Medicare and Medicaid covers the test. Verma noted that it is a diagnostic test so it would be covered under insurance as an essential health benefit and is a covered service in the exchanges — in Medicaid and in Medicare. CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield added that the test the CDC provides to the public health community is provided free of charge to public health labs across the country. Pence said that there was concern that some people felt they could not be tested if they were only mildly symptomatic, but the new guidance will make clear “that any clinician or health authority can administer the test.”
我觉得美国是铁了心不检测， 不检测就不会大面积恐慌和不满
而且不明原因，那肯定有潜在的传播者。。。
而且是不明原因，肯定有潜在的。。。

新闻只说希望在本周末能达到检测一百万样本，估计是太多人对CDC反应速度低下不满了
