His family tested positive as his neighbor, the neighbor's family, and a whole lot of others? He's only 50 years old, so not old at all, and he's in a medically induced coma. Holy crap that's scary. I actually know someone who was put in one, and that's pretty last resort. The person I knew passed away within a week of hospitalization.

50 is old.

Belgians engaged in "lockdown parties" last night ahead of a three week ban on bars.

Today Belgium's health ministry says 'lockdown parties' are hurting efforts to stop coronavirus: "We are making enormous efforts as a country to protect our health care sector and vulnerable people. We hope everyone takes their responsibility"

Some in Wuhan Told to Go Back to Work as New Coronavirus Cases Subside in China

Australia is reporting they are sending Muslims from the camps to work - when they are not harvesting organs while they are alive to help the Chinese.

Wow. You really must hate how well China handled this crisis. At least compared to the US. We are a joke compared to them.

I agree. The article has nothing to do with this specific situation now.

http://xinhuanet.com/2020-03/04/c_1125660473.htm

After the author's (a blogger?) comments suggesting restricting supplies to the US out of anger over a potential new travel ban (as far as I can tell; I cannot read Mandarin, so I am relying on a friend's translation and Chrome), the author said this (again, machine translation):

However, there is a great love in the world. The Chinese people and the Chinese government have never done so. They have not insulted the United States, nor have they banned the export of masks and medicines to the United States. As China ’s new crown pneumonia epidemic is gradually controlled, China ’s ability to export masks and medicines Will be greatly enhanced, and the United States is one of the demand side.

Thank you and hope you are staying safe in Beijing. Take care

I’m the one who asked for a link because I couldn’t find it, and basically as I suspected it was the usual Fox News BS. Thank you.

The CDC just started talking about 8 week school closures. That's basically the rest of the school year.
