Arriving in Tokyo& #39;s Haneda airport last week, the Japanese border security officials were using temperature radars to surveil arriving passengers and taking those who were showing high temperatures aside. The coronavirus was a lead story in Japanese media. https://twitter.com/callapilla/status/1219390576560201729">https://twitter.com/callapill...
The danger of the #coronovirus was clear a week-plus ago. Certainly the Japanese were very aware of it. Have no idea why any public health officials would try to play down what a virus will make clear is obviously dangerous. It is 2020-people travel. https://twitter.com/schwartzbCNBC/status/1220024550878076930">https://twitter.com/schwartzb...

The PRC will have to & #39;come clean& #39; in a transparent way about how the #Coronavirus originated noting the "Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory" operates in the area of the outbreak. Kudos to @TomCottonAR here for pushing back on obvious causation issues.

"That would imply a death toll in Wuhan of about 42,000-or 16 times the official number. Another widely shared calculation, based on Wuhan’s 84 furnaces running nonstop and each cremation taking an hour, puts the death toll at 46,800."

Chinese families should be sweeping graves now. But thousands still haven’t buried their dead.

China’s coronavirus death toll appears far higher than its official tally. Authorities are curtailing memorial services, denying many a proper chance to mourn loved ones.
