Any change we can delete Hong Kong & Macau out the table or at least have theme as B teams. Not very good news I read yesterday. Pakistan maybe coming into bat very soon. Health Minister is denying 1 confirmed case in Pakistan & and also they have 500 students in Wuhan. As for the home front (Thailand) 39 cases in hospital, but the Government are not putting their cards on the table as yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be strong players in this, but need a good solid start to get them moving.Singapore have 90+ in quarantine, but most likely all will be false alarms. There are other seasonal viruses doing the rounds.Really think the fun will begin with many returning to work tomorrow. Will be counting the facemasks on the MTR tomorrow when on the way to work. Can’t amend the table as only cutting and pasting from the news site. Think we will see activity Wednesday-Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Singapore just announced somenew measures. Very drastic, but kind of keeps in the back of the mind that everything coming out of China is maybe not accurate. Health screening of all flights from China, extra checks on anyone from Hubei. People advised not to travel to China unless necessary.Health declarations to be made by anyone who has traveled to China in the last 14 days and ongoing.For the above, compulsory temperature checks twice a day for 14 days on return from China.Compulsory leave of absence for 14 days for anyone coming back from China who has contact with vulnerable people (schools, elderly, hospitals).Add this to the quarantine centres set up, Singapore take things very serious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The Department of Communicable Diseases Control's has recruited Chinese-language interpreters to help officials interview tourists from risk areas. Quote 7,000 Chinese students across the country and many had returned to their hometowns in China during the new year festival. Earlier, the ministry asked Chinese students to delay their return to Thailand by at least two weeks as a precaution. Devastated, however good news. Quote Meanwhile, a number of suspected cases were reported in several provinces including Chiang Mai, Nakhon Sawan and Rayong on Sunday.

The Moonster Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Arrived at work today to be informed that absolutely no work will be done in China under any circumstances. I'd say around 50% of our current work is in Chinese shipyards and involves discussion with our Chinese offices who have just been told to take another week off. Looks like a nice, laid back week of me telling customers "Sorry pal, can't help you". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China exerting their dominance in this field. Remove the jiggery pokery of Hong Kong/Macau and you have really consolidated 2nd place with your kleenex and leaflet approach. Still calling foul with France and US trying to bring in ringers, seems UK is planning this approach as well just to get on the board. A bit shocked at Vietnam, terrible performance from them, but maybe Tet is hampering them just now. Next couple of days will be big with many returning to work. China playing defensive by extending their long holiday to 2nd February and continuing to extend cancelation of intercity buses, but with such an assertive lead they can afford to rest their big players for the latter stages. Still no face masks or hand santisers to be found in Singapore. Could be a catch 22 with China being a massive producer of these products so unlikely to fulfil demand. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/china-death-toll-spikes-to-80-more-than-2-700-cases-confirmed-12352546 Or "the mortuary" as it's better known. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Quote Hong Kong infectious disease experts are urging the government to take “draconian” measures against the spread of the deadly new coronavirus from the mainland Chinese city of Wuhan, citing research estimating that 44,000 patients could be infected there – far higher than official figures. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3047813/china-coronavirus-hong-kong-medical-experts-call Quote Lead researcher and dean of HKU’s faculty of medicine Gabriel Leung said his team estimated there were 25,630 patients showing symptoms in Wuhan and that the number of infected cases would double in 6.2 days, according to the mathematical model used. eek! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
