REMOVES REFERENCE TO NUMBER OF VIRAL INFECTIONS - Visitors wearing face masks walk near the Gwanghwamun, the main gate of the 14th-century Gyeongbok Palace, and one of South Korea's well-known landmarks, in Seoul, South Korea, Saturday, Feb. 22, 2020.

A Chinese official has confirmed a scary new fact about the deadly coronavirus: it is airborne. It was previously understood that two main ways the virus transmitted from person to person were: * Direct transmission: breathing in air close to an infected patient who sneezes or coughs, and * Contact transmission: when a person touches an object tainted with the virus before infecting themselves by touching their mouth, nose or eyes.

My Chinese doctor friends have reached out, things are changing rapidly day to day, hour to hour, I would like to bring you up to date on everything I know with inside information that I'm getting from medical teams on the ground in China and all the significant developments.
