Following the spread of the new coronavirus, the Thai government has called on people to refrain from traveling to Japan and Singapore.
The Thai Ministry of Health on Tuesday called on the public to postpone unnecessary and urgent travel to Japan and Singapore after the spread of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus. This is the first request from ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) to refrain from traveling to Japan.

First you strip the world of medical supplies, try to strongarm India into selling their entire production for a year to you only, and then you build your own mask factory in six days to produce masks for domestic use. Which could have been build a month ago before the world was stripped. China’s starting to get on my last nerve.
Beijing to fast-track new mask factory in virus fight - 6 days
(a little subtle arrogance here:)
Producers of masks and other protective equipment around the world have been unable to meet demand in the wake of the outbreak, which has killed more than 1,700 people in China.
(emphasis on domestic market - only China matters)
Last month, CMmask, a Chinese mask maker that supplies 30% of the domestic market, said daily orders for 5 million masks were more than 10 times its usual level.

I wonder if it’s a machine translation glitch?
And then there’s Anonymous. Oh, yes, I’m going there.
Anonymous, on Feb 13, released it’s first ever epidemic PSA in its history. And, plays it straight. And, actually approves limited quarantine. The message is a mind-blower. Why did Anonymous go there?
A.’s target audience is teen to 20s - the most likely to lack more than cursory information, to support communism and to resist quarantine. Yet we have here a remarkably stark communication that sets a flare off about the corona virus and destroys any illusions about the CCP - a huge gamble for A.’s street cred.

United States, which I am most interested in, remains stuck at 15 for days now at the BNO link.
Even though due to some newspaper articles it’s at least 29.
Does anyone know of a better site that updates reasonably?
Just the messenger.
Yes, that’d be a very long stretch.
That won’t do a thing. Some Thai comedian might have a super duper very important gig that he simply must be at.
BEIJING (Reuters) - China has revoked the press credentials of three journalists of the Wall Street Journal after the newspaper declined to apologize for a column with a headline calling China the “real sick man of Asia”, the foreign ministry said on Wednesday.

Mao would be proud.
Tomorrow's news...today!
First India flight was Feb 1 so the pilot just past the 14 day mark. Was he and the crew quantined?

The Chinese Communist Party’s dishonesty caused the coronavirus outbreak to spiral out of control. Now it has chosen dishonesty yet again by kicking out foreign journalists over a fake provocation
As much as we “dislike” Iran, they have good docs and good hospitals. If they couldn’t help these folks, I am wondering where in the stage they came upon them. And how long they were spreading this stuff.
Yeah, lol. The translator does some odd things with dates sometimes
Oh no. The AI bots are slowly changing us. Lol.
I have to chuckle (in general, not at YOU) a little when I start seeing the West talk about China in terms of western culture. This is an example of folks in the West making the mistake that China “thinks” like us. Even without communism, the culture of the Far East is harsh to us.
They are brutal, unethical, and morally corrupt business people. They simply don’t care. They don’t care about the quality or safety of their products. They don’t care about Western Culture and ethics.
In a grander scheme they do not have the reverence for life. I don’t mean they don’t love their families and friends, but if the government needs to sacrifice 100 million people to save a billion...they will do it without blinking an eye. And without losing a nights sleep.
The Chinese culture is old and harsh. Communism doesn’t make it any better.
