They are taking extremely drastic measures to control this. That's good, but it makes me wonder if the actual numbers are much much higher than they are saying.

HK protesters are going to try to shut down the high speed rail. 4 out of the 5 cases here have come in from Wuhan on that train.
I'm curious, what sources have you read and claimed that Coronavirus isn't airborne?

So far we know that it can be spread if someone coughs or sneezes close to another person, so airborne really isn't out of the question.

At this point, we don't even know the incubation period or the period of infection where the virus can be spread to another person. There are still a lot more information that's not confirmed at this point.
