This not the first time it has been reported that there have only been 13 cases of the new coronavirus. It is in referral to the confirmed cases, which is very deceptive. There also may be 2 more on the way. The 13 cases meme is not telling you the whole truth. They seem to be hiding very likely cases and in a way, screwing up the real case count, mild cases, recovered cases and the real cfr. Nobody want's to talk about this either.
Reminds me of Indonesia, where there are many suspected H5N1 patients, all later to be declared negative. Their media and gov't wait to test these people till after a week or 2 of tamiflu..when the tests come back negative.
Nevermind, the 2 or 3 more in the same hamlet, coughing up guts with a high fever and dead birds by the 100's laying around everywhere. They just stop reporting on them until a test comes back negative.
It all goes back to the careful wording of confirmed cases.
The WHO and other gov'ts just LOVE to throw out the Confirmed statement, all the while negating to tell you of the other people in the family that were sick, but never tested, or died before they could be tested, OR GOT BETTER and therefor not counted.
Almost all the recent media reports leave out the fact that when this outbreak first garnered media attention by Ronan Kelly at Flutrackers, There were waaay more than the verified 2 in Jordan. There were reports of up to 19 suspected cases or more, which was finally whittled down to 11. These cases were HIGHLY suspected as h2h, and are considered so now.. It is just not reported as such nowadays.
It is this fact that leads me to think there are way more cases, and way too many inconsistancies with the official reports and the way they are reported. Now I am hearing buzz that The latest case went to Egypt.. The first suspected case in Jordan possibly also came from Egypt. They are having a hard time pinning down the first case and where they came from.. or at least telling you
Another point to bring up is the fact that only 2 or 3 women have ever gotten ill from it. It appears that one of the earliest patients was a woman and she is also never counted in official tallies. Jordan and other ME countries may have only mostly male nurses in all their hospitals, but I don't think so.
In the Jordan hospital, here is a rundown of recent nurses that work at the hospital where the outbreak occurred. This is not a total picture of who works there or did then, but shows a good mix of woman nurses there. There is an abundance of male nurses and probably does not include the full picture of female nurses at that or any ME hospital.

Here again, is the latest, astounding, most precise report ever!..
Until this month, no one had been certain that the virus could spread from person to person..said
Alison Bermingham of the United Kingdom’s Health Protection Agency..
Then, a 60-year-old U.K. resident who had traveled to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia got sick with the coronavirus and passed it to his son, who died. The case is the first known human-to-human transmission of the virus. - http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/348643/description/Scientists_race_to_understand_deadly_new_virus#sthash.I9MgSd8B.zRZzWxSf.dpuf -
The virus has sickened 13 people and killed seven of them in the Middle East and England since last April. -
This would help establish whether the 13 cases seen so far are the most severe and represent "the tip the iceberg", said Volker Thiel of the Institute of Immunobiology at Kantonal Hospital in Switzerland..
and here again no mention of the Jordan 11
..A novel coronavirus has infected 13 people, killing seven, Gwen Stephens, with the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health, said at an American Society for Microbiology biodefense conference in Washington today. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-27/officials-monitor-coronavirus-to-avert-sars-like-spread.html?
At least the latest virology report does mention the cluster..and some other interesting news.
Timeline for confirmed human cases (in chronological
order of reporting)
As of 15 February 2013, a total of 12 laboratory confirmed cases of NCoV have been
reported to WHO [14]. The first 9 of these cases have been from the Middle East: 5 cases (3
fatal) from Saudi Arabia, 2 cases from Qatar and 2 cases (both fatal) from Jordan (Figure 1).
The most recent 3 cases (1 fatal) were in individuals living in UK..
30th November
At the end of November, WHO reported that two cases that had died of an unknown
respiratory infection in April 2012 in Jordan were retrospectively tested for the new
coronavirus and found to be positive [25]. These cases were part of a cluster of 11 cases, 8 of
whom were healthcare workers who presented with a severe respiratory illness that was
unexplained at the time, but was notified to the WHO [25]. http://www.virologyj.com/content/pdf/1743-422X-10-66.pdf
here is the cluster mentioned by the WHO
In addition to the two previously confirmed cases, a number of health care workers with pneumonia associated with the cases were also included in the review and are now considered probable case. http://www.who.int/csr/disease/coronavirus_infections/update_20121221/en/index.html
Here is a report of at least 16 suspects at the time http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showpost.php?p=451042&postcount=56
There are many other Jordan reports at Flutrackers, http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=185880

Here is Dr Jones pretending it will all go away..
Wed, Feb 27, 2013
..Despite this, Ian Jones, a professor of virology at Britain's University of Reading, said he believes "the most likely outcome for the current infections is a dead end" - with the virus petering out and becoming extinct..
Others say they fear that is unlikely.
"There's nothing in the virology that tells us this thing is going to stop being transmitted," said Osterholm. "Today the world is one big virological blender. And if it's sustaining itself (in humans) in the Middle East then it will show up around the rest of the world. It's just a matter of time."
Now in all fairness, the reports are for the general public, even though some are mentioned at scientific events or symposiums. Constantly telling me there have only been 13 cases is starting to wear on my conscience. Don't you be fooled by funny case count numbers. You haven't been even told half the truth on severity, spread or source of infection. They refuse to tell you. Do you really think they just don't know? Soon they will have to tell you what the hell is really going on. It is worse than you think. Until then, take all those happy reports of only a few cases so far, with a big grain of salt!
Jordan up to 19 cases,11 is the number they go with
Saudi Arabia 5 cases
Qatar 2 cases
UK 3 A fourth case from this family also presented with similar symptoms, but laboratory tests revealed that it was negative?
That is 22 right there. I can easily get up to 30-35 suspected or confirmed cases so far, from various reports. Why do I have to? Why are the health agencies making us try to guess wth is going on? Why are they and the MSM telling you only 13 have gotten sick so far?
