Fifty-three new cases were confirmed, spiking the total to 104 infected as of Thursday evening local time. The number of cases are expected to increase in the coming days.
South Korea also reported its first death, a man in his early 60s, who died at a hospital in Cheongdo, 19 miles south of Daegu. The patient posthumously tested positive after being hospitalized for schizophrenia and later had suffered symptoms of pneumonia, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health authorities are tracing and testing 1,001 followers at the Shincheonji Church of Jesus in Daegu, since most of the newly confirmed patients attended the church’s services on Feb. 9 and 16. The church has closed all of its 74 branches nationwide and asked followers to access online worship services.

Here is the definition of a pandemic:
"A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν pan "all" and δῆμος demos "people") is an epidemic of disease that has spread across a large region; for instance multiple continents, or even worldwide. A widespread endemic disease that is stable in terms of how many people are getting sick from it is not a pandemic. Further, flu pandemics generally exclude recurrences of seasonal flu. Throughout history, there have been a number of pandemics, such as smallpox and tuberculosis. One of the most devastating pandemics was the Black Death, which killed an estimated 100 million people in the 14th century. The most recent pandemics include the HIV pandemic as well as the 1918 and 2009 H1N1 pandemic."
So this looks like a pandemic because it is spreading. The new cases we hear about are those that originated at the time control measures were not applied yet.

Our daughter is traveling in Australia right now.
Their case count is low, but she has orders to book her exit ticket at 100 cases, LONG before the mass exodus occurs. And she needs to be prepared for a 2-4 week quarantine.

Tomorrow it'll be even more.
It just occurred to me: is it possible that this virus is more lethal to some human races than others?
It originated in China and since it's outbreak, most fatalities were recorded in other Asian counties. Those who died in the US or Europe were also from Asia.
Of course it can also mean that Asians were exposed to it in the first place, so this may be pure speculation.
It appears to be quite dangerous for older people. A breakout in the US could make the election very different by keeping people from the polls.
Yes, I noticed that as well.
Would like to see the breakdown by age - I understand very young people are in the danger zone, too.
As a rule, those two groups are the first to go in any epidemic/unusual conditions. Heat waves affect these two segments first. Weak or undeveloped immune system.
Whether it's depopulation or not, I think it is purposed...they've gone from "never let a crisis go to waste" to creating a crisis that won't go to waste.
