Hah! Went to check in to go to Korea but our travel agent blocked us from doing so so we got turned away and are now stuck in Sapporo for another night before being able to head home as we're blocked from going to Korea.

Makes it kind of maddening that that family flying in from a hot zone, with symptoms, just kept on with life!
From what I read she advised she was just tired as you'd expect after a long haul flight, she also visit a GP with concerns and they said she was fine, symptoms only properly kicked in when she was in Palmerston North so she changed her flight and flew back immediately. This was all late February too when Italy only had cases in the low hundreds kind of where Spain/Germany/France are right now. Assuming what she says is accurate I can't really blame her, I think the medical establishment is only just now starting to come to terms with how quickly this spreads.
I'd be picking Spain/Germany/France cases all to be moving well into 4 figures within a week, after that well at some point you're not going to have the capacity to test.

@taniwharugby I especially liked this bit:-
And we’ve scientifically proven our remedy to be scientifically proven with no margarine for error. A focus group of three rated the essential oils soaked crystals as “excellent”

@Tim A very good piece, although it overlooks some of the risk factors around schools not closing: e.g. Students and staff with pre-existing health conditions, Staff and people living nearby over the age of 60, higher numbers on public transport when schools remain open
