The Coronavirus
With this virus from China mutating and spreading, are you worried at all?
C'mon, there's no way it could thrive and spread in conditions like this.

Without fully doffing the peak of my tinfoil hat, this story from years ago is a spooky coincidence.

Maximum-security biolab is part of plan to build network of BSL-4 facilities across China.

A laboratory in Wuhan is on the cusp of being cleared to work with the world’s most dangerous pathogens. The move is part of a plan to build between five and seven biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) labs across the Chinese mainland by 2025, and has generated much excitement, as well as some concerns.
Some scientists outside China worry about pathogens escaping, and the addition of a biological dimension to geopolitical tensions between China and other nations. But Chinese microbiologists are celebrating their entrance to the elite cadre empowered to wrestle with the world’s greatest biological threats.
“It will offer more opportunities for Chinese researchers, and our contribution on the BSL‑4-level pathogens will benefit the world,” says George Gao, director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory of Pathogenic Microbiology and Immunology in Beijing. There are already two BSL-4 labs in Taiwan, but the National Bio-safety Laboratory, Wuhan, would be the first on the Chinese mainland.......... (more stuff about SARS escaping from a lab in Beijing and monkey testing etc)

Someone in my office is sick but needs to come to work today, so a message was sent to the staff group - quite considerately - letting us know and suggesting that face masks might be a good idea.
Being a considerate boss I volunteered to pick up a box on the way to work.
4 pharmacies on my route in all sold out of masks. They might have some later today but maybe not.
Last night in Aeon2 it was pointed out to me that every non-khmer looking Asian (they said Chinese, but I'm not so perceptive in my profiling) was wearing a mask and very, very few Khmer people were.

Masks don't do much for most people wearing them - they'd be better off just regularly washing their hands.
Can wearing masks stop the spread of viruses?

I thought those dentist type masks were to prevent the wearer’s germs from spreading and not vice versa. Either way they won’t work because the virus would get through.
You need an N95 mask and they are currently sold out on for example Amazon.

According to the Immigration Department’s Facebook page that on January 27, 2020, at 7.30 am, police at Poipet international border gate began handing out free face masks around the checkpoint to all citizens and visitors.
The mass distribution is aimed at helping to prevent the respiratory illness (CORONA), which is spreading in several countries around the world.
An expected 15,000 to 18,000 masks per day are expected to be distributed free of charge thanks to the Health Ministry’s. At least 1,000,000 are believed to be given away across the country in the next month.
