Why leave Indonesia out of the party?

I don’t think they’ll be reporting a self sustaining outbreak. There’s probably a couple of countries which have an outbreak but either don’t know or aren’t telling anyone, eg North Korea.

How infectious is this?

A keen runner, the 38-year-old recently took part in a number of races. His pregnant wife is also infected, as is a person who went running with the man. Three other cases in Lombardy are elderly people who frequented a bar in the town of Codogno, near Lodi, that is owned by the father of the man who went running with the 38-year-old.

It’s playing out exactly as I thought it would.

So basically no increase in cases in australia is what you thought 3 weeks ago. I was fearing 5000 cases by now.

You’re an idiot then. The quarantine issued by the government on China (as well as China’s extreme measures) likely slowed things down considerably. But now that it has taken hold in five countries across the globe, it is probably at pandemic stage now.

well if there's any substance to your fear, we're hearing JS on topic from our authorities, AND for the last batch of visitors who arrived from china on the 1st feb [those told to self isolate for only 14days, without supervision] it is now the 24th ... 24days being - since - the much referenced possible incubation period.
s**t could be about to hit the AU fan.

Seeds as you can see from the video thumbnail above, South Korea went from 206 to 602 cases in two days, with another 1000 from that church group showing symptoms who haven't been tested yet.

Have a listen to the doc; he has some interesting things to say about Australia and the UK's ostrich approach.

A global bank in Seoul has just asked all foreigner workers to leave and locals to work two weeks in the office and two weeks at home. This is a sensible position but suggests the issue has a way to run before controlled.

A friend who works at Brisbane airport says he's never seen it so quiet. Just dead.

A friend lecturing at UQ is run off her feet getting entire courses online so Chinese students can continue their degrees.

It is time to expand the travel bans to South Korea, and require self isolation to anyone who has been to Japan or Italy.

I guess it depends on where they sit out their 14 days.

I'm reading that authorities are conceding (or starting to) that and working out ways health professionals can survive while dealing with the pandemic.
