Something's gotta give man. At some point we have to cut off travel from China or anyone that has been there recently. 4 major diseases in the last 60 something years have come from there and we can't force them to change
COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

Meanwhile China getting back up and running
Wuhan, the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in China, has begun to loosen its two-month lockdown on citizens as more countries issued new restrictions to contain the pandemic.
On Monday, small groups of residents in the central Chinese city were leaving their residential compounds, going to grocery stores and walking along the streets for the first time in weeks. At the weekend, the first train arrived in the city ferrying more than 1,000 workers from elsewhere in the province back to the city for work.
On Sunday, local authorities said residents could begin returning to work if they did not have a temperature and could provide a green health code, signifying their virus-free status as well as a certificate from their employer. Officials said the city would be “gradually” reopened and public transportation would resume.
In another sign that normal life was starting to return in China, there were reports of traffic jams in Beijing on Monday morning.

This means I cannot interview for jobs. About to be unemployed during a pandemic -- with possibility of a recession. If I make through this I am saving to always have enough for a ticket to Africa.

If (and this is a big IF) this is true, then isolation and getting the numbers down is key. Which is exactly what countries are trying to, except for the stubborn individuals who think they're invincible.
But since we've seen just how far China would go to censor the news and erase people who'd speak out against them and expose them... I highly doubt this is true. I'd hope it is because then it means that a lockdown for months isn't necessary, but I don't know if I believe this.
even for the people that make a lot of money but still live paycheck to paycheck these are scary times. I can't imagine living in NY, having to pay rent while on welfare/unemployed.
it's crazy US politicians don't understand this. You can't tell people to stay at home and not work but have every bill come in like clockwork. If you have savings you'll be alright but for people who have been paying their bill on time who live paycheck to paycheck this is a death warrant.

give it another month, there'll be 6 degrees of separation or less between you and someone you directly know or an associate/relative of someone you know who gets covid-19. I get it though, some people need to see the problem arrive on their doorstep to believe. I believed once china quarantined a city of 8-9 million, which isn't normal at all.
