Hehehe...the Governor of Shanghai China also said in the news that he's worrying that the city he is taking of has come down to ZERO case.
I believe, it might one day turns out that those countries who has NO or very little corona-virus infection cases may be barred instead. Meaning countries like Indonesia (6 cases), Cambodia (2 cases), Laos (zero cases), etc etc, they could possibly end up being a much more dangerous country (to get the virus) to go to than Korea, China, Italy, Iran due to their healthcare medical facilities which were incapable of detecting and handle the epidemic.
One good example would be Indonesia, the government can say in the press that there are more than 150 hospital stations all over indonesia that were equipped to detect the virus. But almost 10/10 of the people who physically tried going to their local major hospital (at various big cities in Indonesia) were turn away, citing by those hospitalS that they DO NOT have the capability to detect the coronavirus. I read that in the news.
In other word, the capability to contain and control a major outbreak will eventually be better off than the inability to even detect an epidemic in time to come.
When travelling, always practice good hygiene habits. Be it if there is any epidemic (or not).
Just my thoughts.
* Hehehe...upcoming Batam trip, the housekeeping boys (maybe girls too) is going to be very busy with my demandS to clean the room i stayed in, the way i like it to be. But i am sure they will be happy to do so,hehehe...

The new says he visited a hospital in Jakarta on 2nd March. They couldnt help or base on whats stated, could not even detect its the corona virus infection.He was tested positive in Singapore on 8th March, Sunday.
Base on hearsay, that Indonesian came through Paya Lebar air base in a private jet, so its not cheap hence i assume he's not a poor man.
Putting myself in his shoe, money versus death w/o proper treatment, which would i choose? My choice is obvious, arent it?
While testing may be free, but the aftermath of the treatment is where the "profit" start to flow in,hehehe...on top of it, Singapore is much often known to silently increase price slowly like "putting a live frog in a boiling pot,increasing the heat one degree Celsius a time". Most importantly, is the need to attract "more frogs", happy and willing to be jumping into Singapore's boiling pot.
Just like some of my few friends, bringing in cheap mask/sanitizer from Vietnam/Malaysia/India to sell to willing Singaporean, and with the profit buy more mask/sanitizer to bring to Batam to distribute away for free. Its more about self-sustainability. Otherwise in the long run, how deep pocket also cannot tahan.
Its been running in small scale but needless to say, the Singapore government's board game is a way much bigger one,hehehe...
Just my thoughts.
