    Question

    On December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) was informed of an outbreak of “pneumonia of unknown cause” detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China – the seventh-largest city in China with 11 million residents.

    According to The Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) visualizes and tracks the reported cases on a daily timescale.

    The case data visualized is collected from various sources, including WHO, U.S. CDC, ECDC China CDC (CCDC), NHC and DXY. DXY is a Chinese website that aggregates NHC and local CCDC situation reports in near real-time, providing more current regional case estimates than the national level reporting organizations are capable of, and is thus used for all the mainland China cases reported in our dashboard (confirmed, suspected, recovered, deaths).

    As of January 26th, there are over 2000 cases of 2019-nCoV confirmed globally, including cases in at least 20 regions in China and nine countries/territories (ibid.).

    How many total confirmed cases of coronavirus (2019-nCoV) will be reported by Johns Hopkins CSSE at 11:00 AM GMT on February the 17th?
