That article is two weeks old now, a number of businesses have reopened under quarantine conditions although smaller shops and schools remain closed.I found this article talking about it. Seems to be genuine.

she had already died, meaning they missed the virus until after she died smh Japan you sure you want to host the summer games?

At this rate the games will probably be cancelled. See what happens with todays numbers though.

I really thought the games would have made Japan much more aggressive on this virus. They have been really weird about the cruise ship and now first death is someone they missed

That's a tad hyperbolic, don't you think?

No, I think it’s a very real possibility at this point.

IOC is a bit greedy like FIFA maybe the games goes on but I think travel plans might take a hit

Accurate as fuck...
I was on the bus today (in London) and saw a east Asian old man sitting at the bus stop coughing furiously and spitting. I must admit I wondered if he had the virus. Doctors were saying that London's Tube network could be a hot bed for spreading the virus quickly:

That’s the scary thing. If it’s extremely contagious it will spread like wildfire in London.
I’m in Bristol, but the amount of commuters between here and London is high, so what’s bad for London is bad for every big city in the UK. And I walk through Temple Meads every weekday.

Spaniard people are weird.
Yeah, definitely. No one seems to be that bothered here though. I've only seen one lady with a surgical face mask in the past few weeks – and she was of East Asian appearance.

Nobody was bothered too much in the rest of China since the story broke, face mask use was about sub 50% first couple of weeks, where now it's about 99% with extra protections and health checks.
If it becomes a "here" problem and not a problem in China, attitudes will change just as quick.

It’s treated as a bit of a joke here. Haven’t seen anyone in a surgical mask recently, but even before the outbreak I’d occasionally see East Asians wearing them (probably for the pollution).
I think people are just jaded by previous hype. Bird flu, Ebola, Swine flu...the media just love whipping up thoughts of the apocalypse. Even now I’m fairly nonchalant about it all, and just assume it will fade out in a month or so.
However it’s easy to see how things can go south quickly. The percentage of fatalities might still be relatively low, but the knock on effect on other sick people and daily life in general could hit hard.

I'm not so sure. China's population is homogeneous. People are encouraged to conform for the greater good. That is not the case here in Britain. Everyone has their own ideas about what's best. It will be harder to get Britain's diverse population to conform in a similar way.

Not as much as their propaganda would lead you to believe. You should visit some time, get an on the ground perspective.

Man, Hubei was late again today.
Deaths are down compared to the huge jump yesterday,. but I think that included more than 1 day.
Cases being higher makes sense.
The 10,584 serious & critical cases is key right now, as those are all potential deaths with the way Hubei/etc is overwhelmed Medical case-wise.

Good to see the decline.

Those numbers make no goddamn sense.
Captain Zyrain

They mentioned yesterday was a mix of new & backlogged cases they didn't previously report. That's why it was so huge.
That being said, today's total of 4823 new cases is still very large, especially since "all" backlogged cases have already been cleared.
Deaths dropping is likely the same as well, though I had figured it'd be mid 100's, so 116 is relatively low.
The numbers are still kind of all over the place, so.. I dunno. Keep an eye on the other countries to get a feel for it's pandemic potential.

Yeah, I thought the deaths would continue to rise, so is surprising.

I would not want to be on a cruise in South East Asia (or anywhere, really) right now.
Bad Japanese doctor, BAD!

"Deeply concerned"? Sounds like its a solution to a problem. NK already lost nuclear development capacity and with basically closed borders maybe nCoV19 will take out the elites! /s
