Maybe someone should inform Mr F.QF6031 (VH-OEE, B744) departed SYD 22 late at 1307 hours on Sunday 2 February 2020, taking off at 1313 (don't tell latter to Chinese.)
Destination is HKG then WUH.

.. TBH the virus thing didn't cross my mind until just now (course continues next week)
That is a horrible decision to make. Where are you travel insurance wise?
That would be me too. I just checked and Policy was taken out last year. We purchased Natural Disaster as well. We also have credit card insurance with AmEX.That is a horrible decision to make. Where are you travel insurance wise?

I worry a bit about indonesia
Well, I guess one thing is that it was acquired in Wuhan and not elsewhere.First 2019-nCov death outside China - In Philippines - a Chinese person from Wuhan.

A fuller explanation is below. I do not visit this area in Manila (not a business area, and no hotels of which I'm aware of note, nor is it particularly close to NAIA Airport or the Port of Manila) but San Lazaro (St Lazarus') Hospital is a public one that at a guess would lack the equipment and resources found in Philippines' best private hospitals:
DOH confirms 2nd case of nCoV in PH, says patient died Saturday
Updated @ 5:35 p.m., Feb. 2, 2020 MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health (DOH) on Sunday confirmed another case of the novel coronavirus in the Philippines, bringing the total number ofnewsinfo.inquirer.net
The "good" news out of that if you can ever classify the death of a human being as "good", is that the only two confirmed cases in that country are/were husband and wife and no other confirmed cases so far.
On announcing yesterday that a couple in SA had tested positive for coronavirus after arriving from Wuhan on 20th January, the Health Department stated not to worry, they had self isolated and had not been in contact with anyone else. Today, well, that’s changed now. They are only interviewing them now to ascertain what they did after arrival. And the kicker - today are trying to ascertain their travel details as they may have flown on a domestic flight in Australia. And they expect us to trust their reassurances.
Pushka, given your expertise with cruising, is it too early to know if cruise lines are starting to experience low forward bookings and/or a wave of cancellations for cruises on which passengers have booked?
It is claimed that international air trips are often being booked closer to departure date than used be the case. Is this true for cruises or have passengers largely continued to book six or 12 months ahead because if they don't, they miss out on the best positioned cabin(s) in their preferred class?
If you don't know, could you ring or text any contacts and ask them, and if you have time 'report back?'
It's been made public that various cruise line operators are changing ships' itineraries to avoid mainland China but one wonders if this will be "enough."
Do you share my perception that there'll be cruise ship 'good value' sales (like the airlines) or will passengers continue to 'book with confidence' and hence in what has been a booming, expanding industry there'll be no appreciable adverse effect on bookings?
But then they expect us to trust them!I and others that I know, pretty much treat ALL government (and opposition) statements as political spin, in the same category as advertising. (99% lies, 1% truth)
Modern political parties are incapable of delivering anything without passing it through a 'spin machine' that would put Warnie to shame.
Guess it all depends on when infections peak, and volume of cases.Does anybody think that a more comprehensive travel ban is likely eg (and these are just for illustrative purposes) Singapore banning Australians, Australia banning anyone who has been to Taiwan or Hong Kong ?
The senior Morrison Government Minister also took a swipe at Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, accusing her of breaching the confidence of chief medical officers for political gain.
...
“Yesterday, after she’d had a briefing from her medical officer, about (coronavirus travel bans), went out smugly calling for the Federal Government to act in relation to flights from China,” Mr Dutton said.
“No other Premier broke the confidence of the chief medical officers meeting, except Annastacia Palaszczuk for her own political purposes.
“I thought it was an absolutely disgraceful act yesterday and it undermined the confidence within that committee and she’s got a lot of questions to answer for.”
