OOOps  how did that happen then... 44 days incubation period ?

Im amazed at how many positive returnees there are after being negative tested before getting on the plane. I guess the planes are asymptomatic 

Nice one, but I think we both suspect that it should have said August 31.

just goes to show Yemen, Indonesia, Myanmar and many other places must have high rate of infections walking around untreated and undiagnosed.

Very serious and alarming situation outside ......  imo

I don't get your meaning   ?

This should put an alarming damper on the tentative "reopening". 

Clusterphucks seem to be the way of the world these days.

And not only that... they were in state quarantine for the entire 44 days? Did they like it so much they wanted to stay forever?

 

Studying in Yemen?    A bit of a strange place to go (horrendous civil war etc) and study, unless you want to learn to be a terrorist, of course!!!!
