    with ports and factories shut, China is telling suppliers to halt deliveries

    if you're an exporter to China, you also get hit

    I was at Glorietta yesterday, and it's good to see that majority of Filipino mall goers are stiill NOT wearing face masks. Out of curiosity, I asked if they have face masks for sale at Mini So, but they're out of stock. 3 mainlanders in the store were wearing face masks, though. The mall wasn't packed, but it was not nearly as empty as I thought it would be. It still took me a good 10 mintures to find parking when I arrived.

    I'll be at BGC later, let's see how it is over there.

    USGS is said to be "scouring" the world for rare earth metals. Seems 80% of global supply comes from China

    Why the mask is needed...

    Shanghai officials reveal novel coronavirus transmission modes | INQUIRER.net

    “Aerosol transmission refers to the mixing of the virus with droplets in the air to form aerosols, which causes infection after inhalation, according to medical experts,” said Zeng Qun, deputy head of the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau.

    “As such, we have called on the public to raise their awareness of the prevention and control of the disease caused by family gatherings,” said Zeng at a daily media briefing by the municipal government regarding efforts to contain the spread of the virus.


    Experts explained that direct transmission refers to infection caused by inhalation of air close to a patient who sneezes and coughs, while contact transmission occurs when a person touches an object tainted with droplets containing the virus before infecting himself through subsequent contact with the membranes of his mouth, nose and eyes.

    The government has urged residents to avoid gatherings, open windows to help with ventilation, practice good personal hygiene and regularly disinfect their homes, especially areas like door handles, dinner tables and toilet seats.

    China has 30% of world's rare earth reserves

    but they dominate in processing REO (rare earth ores) into useable products

    it's not just us, naman.
    it's about every other non-china manufacturing facility on the planet.

    People will start avoiding contact with health officials... Many will go underground.

    I wonder when we will feel the economic repercussion of this crisis. Aside from manufacturing and rare earth materials in China. Fewer people are going to malls, those 2 cruise ships undergoing rigorous testing, surely many wouldn't ride cruise ship in the meantime. People not going to malls may mean jobloss.

    Maybe because there is no supply. Had to give our doctor a box coz even she couldn't get any.

    PM Lee Hsien Loong on the 2019-nCoV situation in Singapore on 8 February 2020 - YouTube

    Makinig tayo sa leader natin dahil we're like Singapore na daw according to bading Allan cayetano.

    Kailan kaya si duts magsalita ng ganyan to assure public that govt is on top of the situation.
