India, the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries that aren't as well of FEAR this threat and people are doing what they are being told and what is right.

Still, I don't think that closing a factory for 2 days will achieve much. In Hong Kong we've been working from home for 8 weeks now, and that's the sad truth about it. But it works.

None the less, I do hope it will remain low and this country will be spare of the outbreak in the Europe, China and many other countries. Be well!

          Well having a phone factory open hels noone.
          This big companies could and should spend some of their massive income to search for cure for covid 19 or we will have no use for cell phones in future.

            The bumper to bumper traffic jams, people congregating in the street corners for a smoke/loud mouth conversation, children playing cricket in the side streets, local shops open as usual...makes me feel like I am living in the twilight zone and this is the "colourful" scene before the black and white montage of people dead on the streets.

            Idiots over here have a dangerous mix of ignorance and arrogance and they will get infected and infect a Lot of other helpless innocents as well.
