Coronavirus Fragments 1: The Real Death Toll?

There are now several hundred videos and reports on the nCov (COVID19) coronavirus each day. For my readers to have an idea of what kind of unconfirmed information is circulating on the Internet - and which may or may not be related to the pandemic - here is a NSFW photograph.

What a 1 day jump 😧 - +>14,000 new #COVID19 cases added just in the past day in Hubei alone. Deaths also 2x increased compared to last few days. I need to sit down and some time to process this... just sharing for now. https://t.co/ynci1giT6M

There is a report that a Vietnamese town of over 10,000 people in Bình Xuyên district was isolated on the afternoon of 12 February 2020; more chatter claims that over 2,000 people are quarantined in Saigon because the country is favoured by Chinese tourists. This supposed rumour comes from the Vietnamese military via 4chan. The rumour maintains that the Vietnamese government is following the same cover-up policy as the Chinese government because they do not want to damage their tourist industry.

Due to the volume of information, I will publish short posts with fragments which highlight one issue at a time.

Transcript of Interview with epidemiologist Prof Neil Ferguson from r/Coronavirus

Here is a selection from social media which counts the real death toll in different ways. Some reports note how the crematoria are running night and day in Wuhan; other reports - mainly from Taiwan - claim that the Chinese government has secretly called for one million body bags.

Please note that there are comments on Reddit that the above video, which talks about three children in one body bag, may not be related to the coronavirus; two Redditors claimed that this footage came from an old report about carbon monoxide poisoning. I can't prove that. The protective garb of the people attending the dead children looks like it comes from the epidemic period in Wuhan, but I can't prove that either.
