There's one that came to HK after being denied port in Taiwan. I don't know why they came here instead of going back to its original port in China.

3 confirmed cases, and at least 30 people with fevers. The whole damn thing could be infected

Took a picture of it from the gym today lol

This whole thing is like a movie with the trains, and ships spreading the virus around. Just minus the whole zombie thing.

I wonder if airline sues him for lost revenue on the flights they had to reroute and cancel? I think they probably should, slam dunk win IMO.

I'm curious too. I wonder if it's because 90% of the pax are HK citizens?

Most people assume that the official numbers aren't as high as the actual numbers, but when they see what the actual numbers may be, they freak out and deny the possibility.

It could be 10X higher, so 120K infected, 20K dead. More likely it's 20X higher, so 250K infected, 40K dead.

We may never know unless the government falls and real info gets out.

It must be extremely high for govts to ban flights, shutdown factories, and rescue their citizens from hubei
They're probably not saying anything to prevent mass panic

Showing a rental suite to a 3 people who flew in from Taiwan yesterday. How much PPE should I wear? Hahaha

Besides my insensitive comment, that speculation on real China numbers seems much more realistic in my eyes. Super scary though. All these cruise ship occurrences coming out now are equally as scary. Those things are cesspools.

Who would have thought limiting the testing kits availability and flat out shooting people and starving them would lead to deaths due to causes other than coronavirus? LOLZ
