CoVid19 Virus : Impact on PJ Spring & Summer Tours

I really don't think the Tokyo Olympics being cancelled is that far fetched at all. Would be a breeding ground for infection and then those people all travel back home.

I hate to be a downer, but there was just a reported case of the virus in CA that was labeled community spread as the infected individual did not travel abroad or have any direct contact with another infected person. I’m not panicking or keeping myself locked in my house, but this case is a stark reminder that we should all be aware and not take things too lightly. Wash those hands people and if you’re feeling sick....get checked out and stay home!!

yep i had just posted about it a few posts up :( Not good news

Capitol Alert @CapitolAlert

Gov. Newsom says 28 people in California have tested positive for Coronavirus. About 8,400 people are being monitored because of their travel. "We knew this was inevitable," he said.

Here we go... :(

Meanwhile, the admin only cares about politics and power:

"Government health officials and scientists will have to clear statements about the coronavirus outbreak with the office of Vice President Mike Pence, in an effort to tighten the White House’s control of messaging about the virus"

I honestly think parts of the spring tour would be more in jeopardy than anything this summer.

Facebook cancels largest annual conference (F8). 

This was scheduled on San Jose in May.

He's sending the Space Force to wipe out the virus.

Why do you think that? Not attacking just curious. 

China is over 2 months into the infection cycle and the only reason cases are (allegedly) dropping is because everyone is quarantined and all public events are banned. As soon as people begin mingling it will flare up again. I seriously doubt affected areas in China have public events/gatherings anytime soon. That is asking for another huge flareup (See, the Korean church that has an 85% positive rate on nearly 1000 folks tested). 

This virus is EXTREMELY contagious. Hell, some folks are suddenly testing positive again after being declared recovered.

Coronavirus: Japanese woman tests positive for second time

Tour guide had been given all-clear but then developed a sore throat and chest pains

Cases of second positive tests have been reported in China. The outbreak has spread rapidly and widely, infecting about 80,000 people globally and killing nearly 2,800, the vast majority in mainland China.

“Once you have the infection, it could remain dormant and with minimal symptoms, and then you can get an exacerbation if it finds its way into the lungs,” said Prof Philip Tierno at New York University’s school of medicine. He said much remained unknown about the virus. “I’m not certain that this is not biphasic, like anthrax,” he said, meaning the disease might appear to go away before recurring.

Fuck the corona virus! It’s the Dos Equis virus that’ll get ya.

Right with you.  Hoping for the best, but logic is not very positive.  I mean, do we have an NBA finals with no spectators? Seriously.

When was the last time something like this went into the summer months? Maybe it is just me being hopeful.

Sadly, we've never had an administration this incompetent or corrupt.  I have zero faith in them telling us the truth, listening to experts or taking the steps necessary to contain this.

Very valid point... The low numbers in Singapore could be reflective of their incredible tracking/testing/quarantine efforts (on par with South Korea's)... or it COULD be that it's been in the 80sF there. 

This strain is very unique, but you're 100% right that Coronavirus generally do poorly in hot/humid environments. Fingers crossed!
