* The WHO said it was 'deeply concerned by the alarming levels of spread and severity' of the coronavirus
* A pandemic is the uncontrolled spread of a new disease – more than 100 countries have recorded cases
* Europe is now the centre of the crisis, with growing outbreaks in Italy, Spain, France, Germany and the UK
* At least 112,000 patients have been infected and 4,000 have died since the outbreak began last December
* The virus has been spreading between humans in four continents since February 28, the WHO has admitted
The World Health Organization has today finally declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic after the number of patients struck down by the life-threatening infection across the world surpassed 112,000 and the death toll neared 4,500.
The boss of the UN agency said it was 'deeply concerned by the alarming levels of spread and severity', with cases of the deadly illness outside of China having risen 13-fold in the space of a fortnight because of escalating crises in Italy, Iran, Spain, Germany and France.
And Dr Tedros Adhanom also warned inaction by governments across the planet has fuelled the crisis, saying the WHO has repeatedly told countries to take urgent and aggressive action'. In a desperate call to the world, he said: 'We’re in this together, to do the right things with calm and protect the citizens of the world. It’s doable.'

EXCLUSIVE: Coronavirus doctor reveals his patients in intensive care are as young as 40 and do NOT have underlying health conditions – contradicting official advice
Dr Sam Fink is treating two patients stricken with COVID-19 and is friends with a third patient in Tarzana, CA
All three men are in intensive care, including one who is in his forties and has no preexisting conditions
Dr Fink made headlines earlier this week when he urged schools to close down to help slow the spread of coronavirus
The doctor warned that the US needs to immediately make drastic changes in order to avoid becoming like Italy, which has more than 10,000 cases
As of Wednesday morning, more than 1,000 people in the US have tested positive to coronavirus, and there have been 31 deaths

President Donald Trump is reluctant to declare an expansive emergency to combat the escalating coronavirus outbreak, fearful of stoking panic with such a dramatic step, according to three people familiar with the situation.
Instead, the president is expected to sign within days a more limited designation to allow the federal government to cover small business loans, paychecks for hourly workers and delay tax bills, the White House said Wednesday. An emergency declaration would go significantly beyond that move, bringing in the Federal Emergency Management Agency and freeing up funding and resources for states struggling to contain the rapidly spreading virus.

It would be helpful if F did a stem and leaf plot of the age of death of those that died.

They teach this to 4th, 5th and 6th graders. So it is not hard. It would give the maker of the diagram some insight.
Maybe you could also do a fishbone diagram of those die showing co-factors.
People, who are non-STEM majors, do this all the time to improve their business processes.
Don't worry. If you will not do one, one will be done for you.
Dear President Trump,
You, Sir, are blowing it. I say this as a loyal supporter since early in your candidacy. I placed an early Predictit bet on you, and won big. I’ve spent more time than I care to admit defending you to #nevertrump cucks. My faith in your political and national instincts has never really wavered—until now.
And I’m not alone. Many smart Trump voters I know are bewildered by your response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Most of the country is in the corona truther camp, but you are being held captive by corona deniers. You are wasting precious seconds and spilling dwindling political capital defending sweaty imbeciles with government makework jobs. I know you trusted them for their “expertise,” but these swampheads are only succeeding at digging your hole deeper.
Amazing how people who know so little think they know so much, when they have so little general education.
I'm looking at you Fred or whatever liberal is pretending to be him.
Remember we will see the backside of the "pandemic" in May. Tallies will be taken and analyzed by cofactors and age. At that time the Dems better have new emergency.
