Brisbane. Both Chinatown and Sunnybank, which has a huge Chinese population and probably more Chinese businesses than Chinatown these days.

Also, finally read a bit about epidemic containment, and wow it's wild
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/15/business/china-coronavirus-lockdown.html

Quote

Hangzhou has barred pharmacies from selling analgesics to force people with symptoms to seek treatment at hospitals.

Quote

An app developed by a state-run maker of military electronics lets Chinese citizens enter their name and national ID number and be told whether they may have come in contact, on a plane, train or bus, with a carrier of the virus.

Quote

The authorities are also combining enormous manpower with mobile technology to track people who may have been exposed to the virus. China’s state-run cellular providers allow subscribers to send text messages to a hotline that generates a list of provinces they have recently visited.

At a high-speed rail station in the eastern city of Yiwu this past week, workers in hazmat suits demanded that passengers send the text messages that show their location data before being allowed to leave.

There are about 20% the average number of Chinese tourists in Kyoto right now.

This is what normal people do

Quote

I literally can’t even bring it up in the office, even though you hear rows upon rows of people coughing their lungs out and have been doing so for a week (not even calling off and using their pto, selfish bastards).

When I bring up how I have already started preparing for the virus with stock piling n95 masks and bulk rice and other non perishable foods they look at me like I need to go to the psych ward and either laugh at me or call me fear mongering.

They refuse to look at what’s going on in the rest of the world and literally think they live in an isolated island and nothing could ever had happen to their loved ones or their community.

I understand that you still need to live you life. But at the same time being informed and being prepared is only a positive not a negative. Hell, people put spare tires in their trunks of their cars. Not because they expect a flat tire that day/week/month but because it’s smart to be prepared in case you do get a flat.

Meanwhile, I say I buy masks and buy reserved food and I’m crazy. What the hell man.
