China c****av***s: confirmed mainland cases rise to 7,771, with deaths at 170
Tibet case confirmed as C*******t Party group, led by Premier Li Keqiang, calls situation ‘complicated and grave’
Chinese researchers say they have invented a test for antibody responses in infected patients

The number of known c****av***s cases jumped by 1,737 to to 7,771 in China on Thursday morning including the first confirmed case in Tibet, according to health authorities, raising the global total to almost 8,000 – and nearing the total infections worldwide in the Sars outbreak of 2002-03.
The epidemic’s death toll also continued to rise sharply, by 38 since Wednesday, taking the total to 170 – all in China – as of Thursday morning. The c****av***s is believed to have originated last month in a market that sold wild animals in W***n, the capital city of Hubei province in central China.
The suspected case in Tibet has been confirmed, meaning the v***s has spread to all of mainland China’s 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. The 38 new deaths included 37 in Hubei and one in Sichuan province in the southwest.
US-China cooperation
United States President Donald Trump said his country would monitor the ongoing developments and was working closely with China.
“We have the best experts anywhere in the world, and they are on top of it 24/7!” he said in a tweet.
China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi, a C*******t Party Politburo member, had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday.
“China has established an interdepartmental mechanism to contain the v***s, taking decisive and effective steps in W***n and other places across the nation to fully curb the spread of the v***s,” Yang was quoted as saying by the Chinese Foreign Ministry. “China has the confidence and ability to win the battle against the v***s.”
Cases of infection have already migrated beyond mainland China’s borders to Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, the US, Japan, South Korea and several other countries since the Chinese government first reported the v***s at the end of December.
‘Complicated and grave’
A Chinese C*******t Party leading group on the c****av***s prevention effort, chaired by Premier Li Keqiang, on Wednesday called the situation “complicated and grave”. Health authorities said that in addition to those cases already confirmed, there were more than 9,000 suspected cases nationwide.
According to state media, the group recommended that after the Lunar New Year holiday, which ends on Sunday, local government agencies should let employees from cities with a high number of confirmed cases work from home.
The group also said that measures should be taken to push manufacturers of medical supplies in short supply, such as face masks and goggles, to resume production as quickly as possible.
The Chinese Ministry of Finance said that as of 5pm on Wednesday, 27.3 billion yuan (US$3.9 billion) had been allocated for c****av***s prevention and control.
‘Deeply concerning’ c****av***s cases prompt WHO to consider emergency
The v***s can be t***smitted from person to person. In one case reported on Wednesday, a German man who lives near Munich contracted the c****av***s from a colleague from Shanghai who was visiting his workplace; it is believed to be the first case of such t***smission in Europe. Person-to-person t***smission cases have also been reported in Japan, Vietnam and Taiwan.
Race to develop drugs and v*****e
The leading group meeting said research on v*****es and medicines should be expedited.
Also on Wednesday, state media quoted scientists on a new c****av***s research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences as saying they had invented a test for antibody responses in infected patients, and also identified existing medications that are effective in containing the v***s.
The three drugs – Remdesivir, GS-5734, Chloroquine, Sigma-C6628 and Ritonavir – are all “under process of authorisation for the use on patients”, according to the local newspaper Hubei Daily.
Hong Kong nurses call in sick in protest at government refusal to close borders
Scientists from mainland China, Hong Kong and the US are all racing to produce a v*****e for the new c****av***s.
Professor Yuen Kwok-yung, a leading infectious diseases expert from the University of Hong Kong, said his team of researchers had already developed a v*****e but that it has no timeline yet to be ready for use.
“We are always talking about years for a v*****e to be introduced on a large scale for patients,” Yuen said in a news conference on Wednesday.
