      When they shut down Wuhan. That was #TheMoment for me. No way would the Chinese government do that if they didn’t have a big problem. And by then, if they did, we would too, eventually.https://twitter.com/lourdesgnavarro/status/1365844493434572801 …

      I’d been following. I’d ordered supplies, masks, first week of January. But that was abundance of caution. When Wuhan shut down? Yep. Turning point. Started front loading all my medical visits, canceling travel, warning social networks as best I could, etc.

      circa New Year's Eve 2019, arrived to Taipei, airport was screening for fever and a "pneumonia-like virus originating in Wuhan" and I thought "huh"

          I wish I took a picture. I didn't think too much of it at the time, because both HKG and TPE regularly screen for fevers ever since 2004

          True. TW started screen passengers from the epicenter next day. Temp checks have been in place since SARS. This has implemented in several other countries too. I had trouble buying masks in Jan from local drug stores or online. Alcohol became literally unavailable in Feb.

          Yes. TW started screening passengers from epicenter Jan 1. Temp checks have been a routine since SARS in many countries. I had trouble buying masks in Jan from local drug stores or Amazon. Alcohol was literally sold out in Feb. US def was not prepared at all.
