Neil Ferguson (epidemiologist)
Laboratory test kit for 2019 novel coronavirus
- ... that professor Neil Ferguson and his team believe that significantly more people in China have been infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus (test kit pictured) than has been reported?
Ferguson’s team calculates that, by 31 January, there were at least 24,000 new cases a day in Wuhan, which calls into question the current fall in case reports, which number around 3000 a day. This could also mean that total case numbers in China may now be as many as a million. [1]

This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain but does not add much to the nomination. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:35, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- I think the test kit picture adds a lot to the hook. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
