Two separate types of the novel coronavirus — one more aggressive than the other — could be infecting people during the sweeping outbreak, Chinese scientists revealed in a new study.
The preliminary study, conducted by researchers from Peking University’s School of Life Sciences and the Institute Pasteur of Shanghai under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed that the infection has evolved into two major types, designated L and S.

Cambodia still sticking with one??? even thou they say they have quarantined 4 from that viet jet plane but have NOT said they were reporting positive

http://www.globalconstructionreview.com ... nnxMmRncp0Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Pakistan may be under-reporting cases of Covid-19 to avoid antagonising China, on whom they rely for major investments in infrastructure, the analyst Fitch Solutions said in a research note yesterday.
Laos and Myanmar have yet to report a single case, while Cambodia is reporting one and Pakistan has logged five so far.
This appears anomalous because Chinese companies and workers had a heavy presence in those countries before the outbreak in Wuhan captured international attention.
Fitch said poor healthcare systems might go some way to explaining the low numbers.
But it added that “a desire to avoid antagonising China by ‘overreacting’ to the outbreak” is also a cause.
The four countries are all participating in China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which gives them access to capital for infrastructure in exchange for loyalty to China.
China, meanwhile, has repeatedly voiced displeasure with countries instituting travel restrictions against its citizens.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

I would think you would still want to be covered by medical and otherwise for things other than coronavirus.BklynBoy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 9:26 amI am in process of purchasing ticket for summer and was looking into that issue...

And if airlines cancel I think they give you options to reschedule or refund but again you have to check the respective airline's policy on that before purchasing.

Went for a check-up at Pachem Dental in Siem Reap and they have a little table set up outside with hand clearer for everyone going in.
They are also taking temperatures.
