The death is reported on all news outlet, though without the details. The back story was digged up from his fb posts which is in Chinese and shared among hong kong ppl in social media. A friend of mine lives in the apartment building right next to the building of the deceased man, and ppl there are really concerned.
Yeah I heard a mention of it after I left the house, so I believe I know the one to which you are referring. The thought process of some people, I swear...

As long as the virus does not cause an outbreak in Shanghai, I think China will survive this Coronavirus epidemic. Shanghai is the economic capital of China, and it is just 3 to 4 neighboring cities away from Wuhan.
Too late. There are hundreds of people in Shanhai that already have coronavirus, and at least parts of the city look like a ghost town as many are on mandatory extended vacation and intentionally avoiding contact with others.

I heard this from RTHK when wife was listening to the news this morning. I feel for the people living around them.

It seems odd that when looking and the world map of confirmed cases; you dont see anything on the continents of Africa and South America. I would suspect that its likely that a few cases may be there. It makes me think it probably a combination a lack of testing ability and just thinking a person has some other form of a common virus/flu.

* same goes for countries of Laos, Burma, Bangledesh

I guess Chinese don't vacation there too much?

I say they should ship this asshat to Wuhan


Stewardess: *looks at other passengers* " I'll be back in a few minutes......"
comes back - "Oh my, you must have 'fallen down' repeatedly during the 'turbulence'. Let me get you some ice for those bumps on your face and head

The UW hospital has one of the most advanced isolation wards in the world. I bet they're excited to finally get to use it.

I live in Wisconsin. Just a couple days ago I learned my daughter has a class with a girl in high school who was planning to travel to Wuhan during spring break to visit relatives, but had to cancel those plans for obvious reasons. As sad as it sounds, I sincerely hope those Wuhan relatives aren't able to visit Wisconsin.

This is very disturbing if it plays true.
Knowing how much the China likes to censor stuff, its actually believable.
I believe that was determined to be a fake. However, the following is a prediction that up to 50,000 people a day are now becoming infected in China despite the all of the restrictions, monitoring, and decontamination efforts:

It was really frustrating dealing with Delta over the weekend. First of all -- why do I have to call and spend an hour and a half on the phone in order to get a refund for a flight that is cancelled? I know this isn't the airlines fault, but you would think they could be more accommodating. I had an open jaw booked, arriving into PKX (Beijing) and leaving HND (Tokyo). They wanted to cancel my entire trip -- no, I'm not rebooking the return leg at a higher price than what I originally paid. Then they wanted to refund me the current price of the PKX ticket, which was about half what I paid for it. Not sure what that even means -- the flight is cancelled, so the "current" price is meaningless. And I want the refund at the damn price I paid. Finally got there after being placed on hold four times.

Anyways, we rebooked through Seoul and are spending the first four days of our trip there instead. There's a few cases in South Korea, but I'm not going to get worried about numbers that are similar to the number of US cases.
booked my tickets through korea, 2400$ for 4 tickets, air china switched 3 of my flights but i guess my 3 year old was suppose to fly alone since they didnt switch her ticket :O still waiting on the refund to process see how that goes. 1600 for the china route tickets (800$ cheaper ))) but no sars in korea woho! to bad cambodia has so many chineese i bet people have it there and just dont know or say.

Why even travel in the middle of all this? Wait till it's over at least. People who choose to keep traveling are part of the problem.

Don't really have a choice. Booked travel in multiple countries, and we can't just cancel the whole trip now, we're committed. Obviously not what we envisioned when we booked this literally two weeks before this news starting coming out.
