@donsteppa China locked down from about late January to late June. People who had gone home for new year were stuck there for months.
some manufacturing was back online in April

@mariner4life yeah, they let some people who had been tested go back to work then, but it was after 3 months.
Most of the non-essential population was really locked down.

Yep. If the people I’ve heard from are any yardstick, it was the standards and enforcement of their lockdown that made the West look soft by comparison. Their lockdown ended up being (relatively!) short I guess, at least compared to the in-and-out that’s often happened elsewhere.

Singapore are indeed back in lockdown. Schools closed gatherings of no more than 5. Borders closed. Tough shit if you already had a MIQ booking coz they've all been cancelled. Govt has asked everyone to stay home this weekend to avoid a circuit breaker total shut down.

@dogmeat said in Coronavirus - Overall:
@voodoo 167 cases in last 6 days. No deaths since December. 1.852 Mill received first dose 1.2 Mill both doses.
I mentioned it mainly to show it's not just Australasian governments who are twitchy.
Damn. That's a pretty decent outbreak for a country of 5m I guess.

I read in article few days ago. That Australia's first repatriation flight from India, that 50% of the travellers tested positive, and had to be bumped off. Adding the close contacts of those, 70% got bumped off. Was about a 200 person booked flight IIRC.
Not sure if they could back fill, or had to fly at 50% capacity.
I've posted this in overall rather than Australian sub thread, as most stark point is the absolute spread must obviously be in India. But maybe that is positive as must show they are close to peaking.

Was from this article
Guardian Australia has confirmed that of the 150 vulnerable Australians booked to take the first repatriation flight home from India when the travel ban expires, more than 40 have tested positive to Covid-19. The number who will be unable to fly rises to more than 70 when you factor in the close contacts of those who have tested positive.
did fly half empty

And interesting article on how Mexican IT geeks /mathematicians dug out 'truer' covid death stats.
