Related to this point, I fumbled my way through a scholarly discussion
of COVID-19 as best as a layman can, and came away with this point: with
a disease that has a long incubation period, the reported cases tell us
where it has *been*, not where it *is*.  I'm terribly oversimplifying,
of course, but this is consistent with the observations being reported
by WHO et.al.   And it means, among other things, that delayed reactions
may be much too late.
