Re: Search, China, and Reneging

The numbers of people infected and who have died seem alarming at first glance but in reality the majority of these are all within Wuhan. Also considering the population of China, this is not a crazy amount. I work in a school in Beijing and I will be returning to China in the next few weeks. I am healthy so I am not scared of this . seen as the majority it kills are either old or have other health issues. Life must go on. I think a lot of people's fears are directly related to alarmist headlines they are reading.

Re: Situation in China

My school was meant to be returning on the 17th and has now pushed that by a week or more. Nothing confirmed yet. I have not flown back to China yet so I am now worried about the possibility of airports closing. Especially after the decision by WHO last night.

Do you think the airports will be shut before the end of the weekend?
I am also concerned about the long term effect of the closures.
