- A vaccine is 3-months away and Aussie scientists sequenced the genome! Aussie Aussie Aussie!
- We've detected all infected Australians, and they are on Christmas Island where they can't infect you!
- It's China's problem, let's rubberneck and watch the timelapse of a new Quaran^H^H^H^H^H Hospital being built in a week!

The battle against nCoV 2019 is merely a narrative control (akin to the US narrative control of the Vietnam War) opportunity for governments and WHO to demonstrate how necessary they are in overcoming threats to national security, ensuring our safety and well being.
Reddit r/dataisbeautiful predicts WHO (aka China) "official numbers" as it follows quadratic model perfectly:

For anyone interested, here is a comparison to the official numbers (parenthesis are the predicted numbers):

in short, the official numbers are bullshit. But for how long can they keep the lid on this? Will every government follow China's lead and low-ball their nation's number of infected in some sort of global pissing contest?
Here's the John's Hopkins map of nCoV 2019, but it takes it's data from WHO (aka China). Still, it's entertaining like a video game, i guess:

The narrative appears to be to goalseek towards the data that proves the outbreak has come under control. So the quadratic model shows us the trend, but the numbers are bullshit so the reported numbers can easily just come in lower than the model each day. Then the news can report that the actions of WHO and governments has worked.
However, WHO reports R0 2 so the infection rate should be exponential.

(interesting, this article says it was "Updated February 14, 2020, at 10:35 a.m." ... in the future)
China confirms nCoV spreads by aerosolisation. R0 is probably higher than 2:
