I do not subscribe to all the anti-China stuff I read. We knew WAY BACK IN JANUARY about their problem over there, and we also soon knew they got a handle on it with a lock-down and isolation - and fairly quickly too.
From the link in the OP
"According to the AR, another six flights are scheduled for April 20, 23 and 28 and May 4, 6 and 8"
to China
Anyone taking notice how many people in China, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea etc. wear masks? My brother is over there in Taiwan (he winters there), posted a pic of himself wearing a mask FEBRUARY 2nd . . . . .
Frigadee, us North Americans just don't get it . . . .
