Related to this point, I fumbled my way through a scholarly discussion of COVID-19 as best as a layman can, and came away with this point: with a disease that has a long incubation period, the reported cases tell us where it has *been*, not where it *is*. I'm terribly oversimplifying, of course, but this is consistent with the observations being reported by WHO et.al. And it means, among other things, that delayed reactions may be much too late. ---rsk
