I've been watching too many sci-fi movies. Spores. Like Alien: Covenant. Gas masks, unless you wear the kind that covers the entire head, don't cut it when the spores enter through ears. 
Bottleheads might have the last laugh.................... gulolol. | No this is absolutely a concern. If it hits enough people, and it's hitting a LOT, it's going to start mutating. Much like how we have a different influenza every year.
Someone asked if HK Canadians are considering moving back. If this becomes a seasonal "flu" coming from China every year, that's when I'd consider leaving.
For now, this is my home, and I just deal with it.

Automakers shutting down plants for a couple days due to lack of materials coming from China https://www.bbc.com/news/business-51441344
I didn't realize everyone sourced parts from china https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/10/2...-amazon-cancel
MWC lost a nice chunk of exhibitors over corona fears... Even tho it's held in Barcelona, and has banned anyone whose been to China
Edit: on a flight from Hawaii back to Vancouver, and about half the Air Canada crew are weari g masks, and using hand sanitizer after handling each passport

Geoduck are at EPIC right now. Couldn't say no to it and splurged and bought 2. Price didn't move that much but the quality / size are pretty legit.
King Crab are no long at $50-60 per pound, going to eat a 2 course tonight at $39.99/lbs.

I went to Dai Tung on Kingsway Sunday night, it was their last night. They even had a big sad farewell dinner with some of the staff and they were definitely operating with skeleton crew that night. Anyway, they're closed now.

Vansterdam - No clue, when the wife called on the weekend to make a reso for dim sum for this Wed they made it sound like it was temp. They said we'll be closing for a while after Sunday because you know what's going on right now. Obviously, hinting that the virus is taking a hit to their business. When I was there Sunday night the way the table acted made it seem like forever but I didn't ask.
