In a society that has the mindset of IT WONT HAPPEN TO ME is happening of course it’s going to spread.

[awangie]

A moment of silence to all the medical workers risking their own lives to save the lives of others. They are the real heroes.

Cambodia the "Hero" of this outbreak. No need for safety precautions. Just welcome everyone with open hands and no face masks.

For the first time in my life I'm glad I'm not financially able to go on cruises and trips around the world!! I'm more than happy to be stuck at home...

It’s been my experience, when government and media say “don’t panic”, it’s time to PANIC!

[Mephilic]

The lethality rate is much higher than what they're saying.

"without regard to his personal safety, the director was BRAVE enough to try and tell the truth while living under a murderous, tyrannical funny how all these docs who initially reported the outbreak are all .. being knocked off.

What a good guy. So sad for his family

[quinnstokes]

None of these people should've been brought back until we have a better understanding of the virus. This seems intentional.

2 week quarantine? About 1 week ago, doctors said the incubation period for the coronavirus was 24 days, they should be quarantined for 1 MONTH.

"Have you been to mainland China etc." What if the person just lies?

[Junnys_Bicycle_Hoard]

The bus driver is not even wearing a face mask!☺️

[abladeofgrass]

Can we see those who survived? An interview would be nice. To see what they went through. We know folks are dying ... Which is unbearable, but can the survivors speak?

[TheDemonking]

This is like watching someone trying to detonate a nuke with a hammer at some point they’ll get it.

[astridschlegel]

Prayers to all of you. Hang in there we all love you.

[daniels]

Here’s an idea. And guys this is just a crazy one. How about we stop any more cruises from embarking for a while.?? Just a thought.

[sorenadix]

Why didn't the Cambodian gov quarantine those travelers!?!

[painkillerjones]

We're screwed. I thought I would die of cirrhosis, but that's a couple of years from now, and this virus moves quick!
