A few new facts:
More than half of China extends shutdown over virus https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/01/coro...nt-of-gdp.html At least 21 provinces, municipalities and regions in China have told businesses not to resume work before Feb. 10 at the earliest. The Lunar New Year holiday was initially set to run from Jan. 24 to Jan. 30, with work resuming on Jan. 31. Nationwide, the Chinese government has extended the holiday so that businesses would not reopen until Monday, Feb. 3 Hubei, where the disease is concentrated, has told businesses not to reopen until at least Feb. 14 Tianjin: Businesses and schools are not to reopen until further notice. In most regions, businesses involved with public utilities, supermarkets or other essential industries are to remain open.

Neal,
these face masks they talk of, are not for no reason called "surgeon masks". They are not meant to protect the wearer from infection, but they are meant for him not infecting others. The surgeon should not breath into the open wounds of his "victim", and a patient being infectous should not sneeze into the face of his nurse. No infection by mopisture drops or mouth and nose moisture being sneezed or breathed out. Thats why I recommended the kind of masks that I described on earlier pages. These DO protect the person wearing them, but only if using filters of the FFP3 norm, which may be labelled differently in the US. These filters are not just coffee filters , but are woven by nano-filament. The mask frame with silicon rim may cost around 20-30 coins, a filter 5-10 coins. If you have a beard, shave it off, else the mask is insufficently sealed. Men shoud always shave before exposing themselves to a ciontaminated environment where they must wear such half-masks, as they are claled in German. If you do not want that, choose full face-covering masks. But that is exaggerated for this virus, I think. While the infection potential of this virus is extremely high, it lethaölity is not, SARS was wors,e and the oridnary seasonal flu causes more deaths every season. Many infected people do not form symptoms that seriously takes them out of action. The simple paper masks have their purpose. But most people who feel afraid simply do not know how to use them correctly and in what way to correctly handle them, technicallyy, so that these masks would do what they should. Wrong purpose and bad handling. No good combination, and thus: almost pointless indeed.

Here's a man from Hong Kong in the article above that only spent a few hours in mainland China and then went on a cruise in Japan with 3,000 other passengers. I wonder if they had any contact with him?
