xpost they're concerned about people who don't need masks (i.e., people who aren't already sick) that are making runs on masks, which could cause a shortage for health professionals. most other items will probably be fairly easily replenished since there aren't national shortages.

weirdly I feel the reactions to Ebola in the United States were much more panicked despite the relative small number of infections and difficulty of spread, whereas now clearer heads do seem to be prevailing (or people are too tired to worry about it). we also didn't have an insane person i nthe white house, so..... There was an instance where a teacher was required to stay home because she visited Dallas where there was one case, even though she was nowhere near where that victim was located.
the panic was probably also due to its much higher mortality rate, but we even had "WHAT IF IT BECOMES AIRBORNE" concern trolling from actual scientists during that one.

S. Korea has best in world screening. They catch most mild cases in their stats, whereas in European countries many mild cases are missed.
Nations with poor medical surveillance, like Iran, will have far higher observed case mortality rates than nations with great medical surveillance, like Singapore or South Korea, even if the actual mortality rates are the same.
― Save us, Covid19 (Sanpaku), Monday, 2 March 2020 15:09 (four years ago) link
Not far off half the cases in S. Korea are memebers of the same church so i would guess theyāre probably testing everyone involved with it.

Itās apparently 60% of all cases! Theyāre trying to test as many of the 260k members as possible so theyāre going to be picking up more mild / asymptomatic cases than anyone else.

I'm beginning to think that maybe it'll be ok for me to go to Seoul in mid April? Though France advises restricted non-EU travel at the moment, they're saying that since the virus is already circulating in France that travel restrictions are no longer needed. have to wait and see, and the talks I'm giving in Seoul may be canceled on their end as the virus develops, but I mean, I'm already circulating in a city where the virus is likely spreading, and South Korea and Japan have great health care...anyway just trying to figure this out. love, Joey Corona

Daegu seems much worse hit.
My company has gone the other direction and banned everyone from going to Italy.
Iām working on the assumption that pretty much every conference, including those in the U.K., will likely be cancelled until May, at least.
― ShariVari, Monday, 2 March 2020 16:56 (four years ago) link
the conferences I go to are generally like 30-50 people tops, so I don't think they'll be canceled because of their size (unlike big conventions like the Salon du Livre later this month which has now been canceled).

Can We Get a Vaccine Early? How the Rich Are Preparing for Coronavirus
One co-founder of a major hedge fund, who asked not to be named discussing his plans, said heād run in the other direction if his peers start fleeing into doomsday bunkers. He might fly to a house he has in Italy, a country that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises Americans to avoid. Widespread panic, he added, would only make plane tickets cheaper.
Charles Stevenson, an investor who was the longtime board president at a Park Avenue co-op thatās home to several billionaires, has been staying in Southampton.
āI donāt feel concerned at the moment -- itās not near me right now,ā Stevenson said. āIf people in the village have coronavirus, Iād get out of here.ā Heād fly to Idaho and close himself off in a cabin, he said, and his family could join him if they wanted. āThat becomes a personal choice of theirs.ā

I just went through the standard cancellation form and paid my $125 per ticket to cancel and get a voucher back, which is an improvement over my initial plan of not bothering to cancel the flights at all, and a tolerable price to pay for not having to speak to anyone on the phone about this.
