Snapdate: MERS-CoV by month..

An updated chart. 
[SNAPDATE'S are snap updates that don't have lots of detail and chat...although they almost always end up having lots of chat!]

Unfortunately there are 23 deaths I cannot assign to cases previously announced and so they are not shown in this chart. As the new CCC format continues and there is no WHO fill-in data to help out, this will be an ever-widening gap. One of several.

Into this gap, speculation and hand-waving will exist and thrive. As always. 

Previous caveats about the found113 remain in place too.[1]

The pattern of bad communication>change>good communication>change.... just keeps cycling on in MERSville. Why do we keep resetting-isn't that the question of the day?


MRS-CoV detection by month. Please note the difference in the y-axis scales; for 2014 data, it is set at 10x that of 21012 and 2013 (350 versus 35) to accommodate the much great number of cases - as indicated by the yellow star.

If the scales are not adjusted (h/t to @doctorsdilemma for reminding me that I need to keep things clear, even in a snapdate)...the outbreak's impact is more obvious, at the expense of having any real idea of the detail. Here's how that looks though just tt make the point more clear...
