In what way does it 'fail the sniff test'? For one thing, a single-day sample is not representative of ongoing trends.
Historically, disease epidemics always declined after a time, due to the emergence of new, less infectious (or less lethal) strains, growth of natural immunity, seasonal temperature change, or simply running out of viable hosts.
With the initial outbreak contained in Wuhan and careful precautions elsewhere in the country, there is perfectly good reasons why infection rates would decline. However, we currently lack evidence to say whether they have peaked in any of the other hotspots, or regions where the situation is just developing (e.g. the UK). [Post edited 7 Mar 2020 10:03]

Let's not bring facts into this now. |  |

What are you on about? You threw out the same old silly innuendo, suggesting some conspiracy that you understood and others didnt. Its taken a page for you to clarify.
Your clarification eventually leads to a very simple and obvious point that no one disagrees with. You may wish to consider the possibility that your initial post was ambiguous.
Though you already know that- and I strongly suspect you meant something more than you are now admitting under challenge. |
Now that CIL's gone, perhaps he feels the need to pick up the conspiracy theory banner & run with it? 🤔 |  |

Re-infection seems to be entirely possible.
Importantly, other corona viruses (and there are a number of them, some of which effectively give us colds...) are far less prevalent int he summer because the UV levels make spreading the virus far less likely. They last far less time in the open than in murky winter months. |
And human populations are likely to be inherently slightly healthier because of increased time outdoors, better vit D levels from sunshine etc? (desperately clutching at possible positive straws here!).
This morning had to book Freeview engineer for terrible problems with little/no TV signal. First thing they said was "We're obliged to ask you these questions after consultation with the NHS (+some other authority I can't recall) regarding C-19 - 1. have you returned from abroad in the last two weeks 2. Have you been instructed by any medical facility to self-isolate for 14 days"
Glad they're taking it seriously. The main problem of course is from people who don't know they've got it, as they haven't (yet) had any symptoms.
My physio also said on Thurs that she has friend who's a consultant doc on a local contingency planning committee - what they're most worried about are possible mutations of C-19. | |

Re-infection has happened already - 14% of people in some Chinese regions have had Covid19 and then been infected again with it.
Nobody is really sure about the summer hypothesis at the moment - it's not having much trouble spreading in Iran where it's already around 20C.
