Chinese ambassador says :
"China is the main engine driving the world's economic development . In 2008,when the financial crisis happened , the economic growth contribution from china reached about 30%. The corona virus outbreak has been declared an international public health emergency by the WHO. If the engine collapse , everybody will pay the price."
Computer modelling at several universities suggests that each new corona virus case is infecting on average about 2.5 other people and that official counting greatly underestimates the real number of infections .
Face masks are being used to avoid from the virus but Nathalie MacDermott says :
"The surgical mask question is a controversial one , the evidence is limited and people have different opinions . Masks are beneficial at reducing the spread of aerosols from someone who is unwell and who is coughing and sneezing. "
