Popular Post daveAustin Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 This is figures from countries irrespective of nationality by the looks, including transit points. Looks like they've also included workers/border bouncers from Malaysia, Burma and Cambodia. Makes initial figure look higher? 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the bulk of the numbers are January March should be pretty much zero and should continue like that for months to come and if westerners have got the message in recent weeks that one could last at zero for considerably longer 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post holy cow cm Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) All hail the Chinese tourists. We don't care they brought the virus because we will blame it on the dirty foreigners. If they don't watch their racist hatred then the numbers are going to stay lower from the western world not coming.
