Don't know if I would say ignored. They just have another way of dealing with it. Whether it's the right way is questionable, but we'll see.

UK ambassador in Tehran

 

he probably doesn't know we don't use toilet papers, we have another "technology"

 

but joking aside, nobody raids supermarkets here, they are still full like other days, I don't know what does that mean, to me that shows how people didn't take it seriously yet. I mean at least some of them.

The whole of Metro Manila had been placed under "community quarantine" effective today. So far, we've had 111 positive cases in the country and 8 deaths.

That water thing seems like one of the most annoying things I can ever imagine  Interesting how people are so completely used to two completely different things

Beijing's daily new patients first time surpassed Wuhan today, 5 vs 4, and all are imported cases, from Spain, Italy and Thailand. So Beijing announces from 16th March, whoever enters Beijing from overseas must be mandatorily quarantined for 14 days in government arranged hotels with passengers' own expense. I guess this policy will soon be adopted by all Chinese ports. With huge amounts overseas Chinese flee back to China, preventing imported cases becomes the first priority.

Out of curiousity: we all know the Chinese government is generally not very trustworthy, to say the least, so do people in China believe it is actually almost over (at least in China), or are they mostly still fearing there is way more to come?
