I'm of the opinion that there are a fuck-load more Chinese here that are infected with Covid-19 than we know of.

I bet in their little diaspora clans they're taking the sick and circling the wagons and medicating themselves with pangolin foreskin and tiger scrotum tea and just holing up in their apartments and not reporting to Cambodian health authorities.

i suspect even if they end up in hospital, it's not being officially confirmed or reported

That is 174 wasted tests - when cambodia appears to have very little crucial testing within it's own population.

exactly this looks like staged news to reassure that the authorities are on the case, and that chinese don't in fact pose a risk

You can pretty much guarantee that. A new UK study suggests as many as 505 of the uk are likely to be infected already. they are going to be a new test due this week to try and confirm
