Or "medicine" might have worked too.
Ah! Essential oils!
Seeing as how I have lived to a reasonably ripe age without using these things, I'd say they're not really that essential. Optional Oils perhaps.

"There is nothing to be alarmed about, we the government, have this issue well under control and are definitely not covering up cases of infection...wew boy, is it just me or is it super hot in here?"

From local government:
With the concerted effort of Suzhou people, prevention and control of COVID-19 has produced positive results over the recent month. By February 24, 2020, there has been no new confirmed or suspected case in Suzhou for 7 consecutive days. Jiangsu Province lowered COVID-19 emergency response level from first level to second. However, we must be aware of the severity and complexity of COVID-19 outbreak at the global scale. With confirmed cases surged in some countries, the spread of the disease is yet to be contained effectively. A few countries declared raising the COVID-19 alert level to the highest.
Hopefully the economy will start cranking up soon!

Just to be sure, when the boxes arrive have Fedex drop 'em in the front yard, and give 'em a good hose over. After they dry off don't unpack 'em anywhere near your computer. That little fan you hear might suck dust and other particles in and they might drift through the tubes under the Ta$man and out an open vent here in Southport, you see, which would be sub optimal.

It will take at least 2 weeks to deliver so it's all good

@Tim My daughter is in South Korea. They teach online now and its quite hectic. We are really worried. I was in Lagos last week and the Nigerian customs were really on it. Scanning every passenger and had to fill in a form. Flying back, Johannesburg was quite relax. They had the scanner but no personel. Maybe it was 5 in the morning and outside their working hours. If that virus hit any Africa country (specially Lagos with 20+ million) it will be devastating.

The thing that is really bugging me is why are infection rates in Italy and S Korea skyrocketing yet China is flat-lining?
All possible answers to that are pretty horrible to imagine.

Honestly don't know but it seems inline with official figures. Aussie got a new case in the last day or two, weirdly enough no story on it but it is backed up on government website.

In December, 2019, a local outbreak of pneumonia of initially unknown cause was detected in Wuhan (Hubei, China), and was quickly determined to be caused by a novel coronavirus,1 namely severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak has since spread to every province of mainland China as well as 27 other countries and regions, with more than 70 000 confirmed cases as of Feb 17, 2020.2 In response to this ongoing public health emergency, we developed an online interactive dashboard, hosted by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA, to visualise and track reported cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in real time. The dashboard, first shared publicly on Jan 22, illustrates the location and number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, deaths, and recoveries for all affected countries. It was developed to provide researchers, public health authorities, and the general public with a user-friendly tool to track the outbreak as it unfolds. All data collected and displayed are made freely available, initially through Google Sheets and now through a GitHub repository, along with the feature layers of the dashboard, which are now included in the Esri Living Atlas.
The dashboard reports cases at the province level in China; at the city level in the USA, Australia, and Canada; and at the country level otherwise. During Jan 22–31, all data collection and processing were done manually, and updates were typically done twice a day, morning and night (US Eastern Time). As the outbreak evolved, the manual reporting process became unsustainable; therefore, on Feb 1, we adopted a semi-automated living data stream strategy. Our primary data source is DXY, an online platform run by members of the Chinese medical community, which aggregates local media and government reports to provide cumulative totals of COVID-19 cases in near real time at the province level in China and at the country level otherwise. Every 15 min, the cumulative case counts are updated from DXY for all provinces in China and for other affected countries and regions. For countries and regions outside mainland China (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan), we found DXY cumulative case counts to frequently lag behind other sources; we therefore manually update these case numbers throughout the day when new cases are identified. To identify new cases, we monitor various Twitter feeds, online news services, and direct communication sent through the dashboard. Before manually updating the dashboard, we confirm the case numbers with regional and local health departments, including the respective centres for disease control and prevention (CDC) of China, Taiwan, and Europe, the Hong Kong Department of Health, the Macau Government, and WHO, as well as city-level and state-level health authorities. For city-level case reports in the USA, Australia, and Canada, which we began reporting on Feb 1, we rely on the US CDC, the government of Canada, the Australian Government Department of Health, and various state or territory health authorities. All manual updates (for countries and regions outside mainland China) are coordinated by a team at Johns Hopkins University.
