Well, originally you were not sure if it was a WHO conference or what, were n't you ? And you do know that videos can be edited, don't you ? and you do know that Facebook have said they will take down anything that is likely to cause panic and has not been scientifically verified, don't you ? If Facebook have taken it down they must have their doubts about the video........

but never mind, you can believe everything on the internet if you want, as nobody ever, ever, trolls, do they ?

Good reply . The OP has a habit of shall we say ....expanding on dubious info ...just to let you know who you are dealing with ...Scaremongering or Trolling are other words that come to mind

You right once again, they edited videos and voices and placed fake people and then few days later China declassified some information and infected toll went from few hundred to 140000 from memory, overnight. So yes indeed must be fake and edited ????

I think i saw a youtube video of the WHO conference - yes they said that there are probably many more cases than have been reported - BUT MOST are probably mild infections, not requiring treatment (news today says 80% of those infected are asymptomatic). Some figures were mentioned (very cautiously) of how many there  were, but nothing like that poster claimed. 

 

Did watch a few other somewhat alarming videos, but when you crunched the numbers being used as evidence for there 'projections' actually only about 2-3 times more than official figures.

 

The high death rate only seems to affect Wuhan - which seems to suggest that the Chinese health system was rapidly overwhelmed there. The cruise ship in Yokohama shows just how infectious it can be. Unfortunately Asymptomatic carriers, long incubation period and unreliable tests suggest that only draconian quarantines will beat this virus.

 

The very low case numbers being reported from many Asian countries (often zero) is also troubling - e.g. Cambodia has no cases but many Chinese visitors? Pandemic still a serious risk.
