Tokyo Olympics likely to be postponed but don't waste ur time on doing % of GDP calculation of meaning to Japan as the circumstance in which the Olympic is cancelled can only be described as DIRE.

Last time it was canceled? WWII (1944, 1940) & WWI (1916).

Yep, we're here.

Abe: Current state of the world not appropriate for Olympics.

Hong Kong to ban all tourists, transit travelers.

This is where we are: Hong Kong prides itself as a connector to Asia & world & it doesn't want to do it at the moment due to the virus.

This is a regional hub.

#Breaking Hong Kong to ask all venues w/ license to stop selling alcohol.

Your liver says thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️(Got a massive stash from wedding under spending of venue min).

China still finding symptom-free virus cases, Caixin reports. Note that China does not count asymptomatic positive as confirmed cases (Korea does) so the zero new case in China doesn't mean that there aren't any new +

According to SCMP, 43k people tested positive but not counted

Iceland, population only 364km, tested the most, even people without symptoms! And they found asymptomatic positive is 50% of total positive!

So this is how it spreads - asymptomatic people are about half & so key for everyone to sit down & stay at home!

@cherykang posted this morning - it's the healthy young people in their 20s that are the key enabler in the spreading as got highest share of confirmed cases.

To all the young people out there, even if u are asymptomatic, stay home for grandparents' sake
