If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

China counts 170 virus deaths, new countries find infections

New Zealand, Australia, India, Singapore and other countries are also trying to get out their citizens
Super sloppy English
Quote
In South Korea, residents in two cities where quarantine facilities are being prepared threw eggs and water bottles at government officials to protest plans to isolate in their neighborhoods 700 South Koreans the government plans to evacuate from China.
I'm not even sure what this is supposed to mean. Do they have editors?

It's the AP, I imagine so.  Your second quote takes some effort to read but I think is correct.

Could have been worded like this:

"In South Korea, residents in two cities where quarantine facilities are being prepared threw eggs and water bottles at government officials to protest plans to isolate 700 South Koreans the government plans to evacuate from China in their neighborhoods."

Better probably would be:

"In South Korea, in two cities where quarantine facilities are being prepared to isolate 700 South Koreans the government plans to evacuate from China, residents threw eggs and water bottles at government officials to protest the plans."

I would already start looking if you can change. I see no chance there isn't a quarantine on Italy travel

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I dont get the whole panic....If it is as contagious as they say it is how can it be that there are so few cases. Something seems off. For example the flight attendant who had it on a flight from ICN-LAX-ICN was infected how did she not get at least 50 people on board infected. Now those people interacted with at least an additional 100 people going through the airport using bathrooms taxis etc. Those 100 then would infect at least another few hundred until it is known that there was an infection. Yet in the entire US there are less then 60 cases. And yet the govt wants to set aside BILLIONS of dollars on a disease that has barely affected anybody in the US.
