That sounds about right. We were mapping the spread worldwide on a daily basis, probably started doing that in late December. At first it was very slow to spread (our lowest category was 1-5 cases for quite a while...) but I could see the writing on the wall.
When I first heard about it there were about 50 cases with something like 7 in critical condition. At that time, nothing was out of China.
I didn't know it at the time, but Taiwan had already activated their pandemic plan.
I know it was all defeated at 19 deaths. Phew!!!! Thank goodness that's over eh?!?!
