Re: Chinese Coronavirus

It depends on how you look at the figures:

China Daily Rate

17/2 70,461 Cases +1,961 New +100 Deaths

19/2 74,187 Cases (+5.3%) +1,751 (-10.7) New +138 Deaths (+38%)

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Australia is expected to extend its China travel ban for another week amid ongoing fears over the spread of the coronavirus, locking out hundreds of thousands of students and tourists from entering the country.

The move, which will be debated by cabinet's national security committee on Thursday or Friday, is set to compound the economic impact of the virus and frustrate the Chinese government as it looks to bring the fall-out from the virus under control.

The extension is expected to last another week from Saturday, taking the time of the travel ban out to a month and preventing all-non Australian residents travelling from China from entering the country until February 29.

The escalation comes as all but 15 of the 200 Australians stranded for two weeks on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship are expected to be evacuated from the vessel in Yokohama, Japan, by 6pm on Wednesday after Australian health officers tested hundreds of Australians on the ship.

Qantas flight QF6302 will pick up the passengers at 1am in Tokyo. Accompanied by doctors, they will be flown to Howard Springs mining camp outside Darwin.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Yes, looking at your figures Omah deaths have risen, as would be
expected, but new cases have almost levelled off and are
definitely not going exponential . But this does not mean the crisis
is over yet! Precautions still need to be taken untill no new cases
at all are reported for a while!

That almost certain to mean new cases amongst those who have been evacuated and those left on board .....

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I am amazed the powers that be in Japan are now allowing those who tested negative for the virus but might still be in the incubation period to just walk away from the cruise ship

''Hundreds of passengers who tested negative for the new coronavirus have begun leaving a quarantined cruise ship in Japan amid heavy criticism over the country's handling of the outbreak.''

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

It would be worse to leave them on board:

At least, the evacuated passengers can be quarantined and checked more effectively in their home countries.

However, the crew, AFAIK, are still living under less than satisfactory conditions - they don't have individual cabins and share sleeping quarters .....
