Ventenio 2,173 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 We need a Wuhan meter like the AQI pollution Index. CM Wu: 1 0-5, safe 6-25, go outside wearing a mask 26-49, think about moving or wear full-body protection 50-99, death in 1-year 100-200, death in a month 201-, last day of course, expats will stay and tell themselves, "It's OK" At least now humans can stop getting mad at every country and focus on something important. But, like always, we can't do anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sharing a flight with 200 other people is great way to pick up any virus let alone one that could kill you. I'm heading to Hanoi in a couple of weeks... hopefully I get rid of this cold I've had for little over a week now. I will be wearing a mask at both airports and on the flight.

Through immigration in 5 mins and saw very little Chinese, if they were Chinese ! Saw a few full tour buses in Pattaya tho. That’s because they have cancelled all tour group flights out of China. It’s going to be real quiet for a while after those who came for New Years leave. The TAT spin should be interesting. At least they have something legit to blame low arrivals on.

Brightly 143 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I try not to be an alarmist, but I’ve decided to curtail my presence in the tourist areas, and while I’m out I’ll be using a SURGICAL (NOT N-95) mask. I’m usually OK with regular hand washing, but will now carry hand disinfectant in my bag. It’s always a good idea to disinfect hands before any meal, but especially in restaurants - after handling the oft-touched menus. Thank heavens that the Chinese government has curtailed outgoing tour groups; however, Chinese New Year couldn’t be coming at a worse time. For now, snuggling inside on these “cold” days with a good video seems more appealing than ever... And it gives “Netflix and chill” a whole new layer of meaning (!)

jimgilly 80 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The problem is there is a 5 day period where someone could have the virus and show no symptoms. This means taking someone's temperature at an airport could be useless. Here is a short video that explains it https://www.zerohedge.com/health/martenson-risk-true-pandemic-higher-were-being-told 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Normally packed with chinese guests, was super empty on a friday night. Marriott Hotel rooftop bar? I didn’t realise they were doing cheap drinks promotions for as we know, the Chinese are low cost tourists and don’t spend any money. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cheesekraft 218 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 does anyone know what masks would be good against the virus AND smoke? If I am already wearing a mask outside... Link to post Share on other sites
RJRS1301 9,788 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I would suggest that you look for one which filters and has rebreather filters, the surgical masks are useless within about 6 minutes, and saturated with your own moisture. Link to post Share on other sites
pgrahmm 7,458 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Reports are some are dying/dropping dead without exhibiting symptoms.... Could be they're already weak, or some strains are more lethal - (and hopefully not evolving).... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh virus are very clever at evolving and adapting, as has HIV, which has been the problem in getting a vaccine against it. Link to post Share on other sites
