A couple of weeks after the Coronavirus outbreak and the disease has become a full-blown pandemic. According to official Chinese statistics, more than 130 people have died from the mysterious virus. Contagious diseases may be diagnosed by men and women in face masks and lab coats, but warning signs of an epidemic can be detected by computer programmers sitting thousands of miles away. Around the tenth of January, news of a flu outbreak in China's Hubei province started making its way to mainstream media. It then spread to other parts of the country, and subsequently, overseas.

The death toll from the Coronavirus rose to 81 in China.
