Stay safe at all times, man.

And delegating the issue to Jared Kushner on top of that....

China's response is better.

On another note, I think Japan is also trying to suppress the number of reports because of Olympics 2020
To be honest, I think that Western countries should have absorbed lessons from responses in Taiwan and in Singapore a hell lot earlier than just sitting in wait for China to say something. By the way, Taiwanese labs are doing a lot of work with research and genome decoding as well; they could have sent the information within the same timeframe. I won't fall for whatever attempt from China to whitewash the fact that they (the CCP) also failed hard at their job.

As for the US, voting against an emergency and temporary paid leave bill is about as stupid as it gets. Seriously, all they can shove all concern about the stock market up where the sun does not shine. And **** Jared too.

As for Japan, I hope they look at UEFA and consider postponing to 2021 as a sensible plan B for the Olympics. UEFA already shoved the Euros up to next year.
