Still refuse to admit wearing mask is good for you.
Macau mask rule as death toll rises
All bus, light rail, taxi and ferry passengers in the gambling hub need to wear masks.Passengers on public transport in Macau must wear masks.
The order applies to those taking buses, light rail, taxis and ferries, and came after the number of confirmed deaths from China's virus outbreak rose to 361 last night, surpassing the mainland's death toll from the SARS outbreak.
Macau had eight confirmed cases last night. The eighth victim took a No 7 bus five times between January 30 and February 1, traveling between Iao Hon and Kiang Wu Hospital. The patient also took bus route 18B recently.
Bus company TCM released the bus numbers other patients took before they were confirmed with the virus.
The Transport Bureau said those who refuse to put on masks will be refused entry to buses, light rail, taxis and ferries.
Since January 27, all Hubei residents and visitors who had been to the province in the past 14 days were not allowed to enter Macau unless they had a doctor's certificate to prove they are not infected.
Those who had been to Hubei in the past 14 days, regardless of whether they are Macau residents, are forbidden to enter casinos. Since February 1, all guests entering any casino in Macau must wear a face mask.

Not wearing masks to protect against coronavirus is a ‘big mistake,’ top Chinese scientist says
In Wuhan, China, people with mild COVID-19 cases were taken to large facilities and not permitted to see their families. “Infected people must be isolated. That should happen everywhere,” George Gao says. STR/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES

Science’s COVID-19 reporting is supported by the Pulitzer Center.
Chinese scientists at the front of that country’s outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have not been particularly accessible to foreign media. Many have been overwhelmed trying to understand their epidemic and combat it, and responding to media requests, especially from journalists outside of China, has not been a top priority.
Science has tried to interview George Gao, director-general of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for 2 months. Last week he responded.

Q: What can other countries learn from the way China has approached COVID-19?
A: Social distancing is the essential strategy for the control of any infectious diseases, especially if they are respiratory infections. First, we used “nonpharmaceutical strategies,” because you don’t have any specific inhibitors or drugs and you don’t have any vaccines. Second, you have to make sure you isolate any cases. Third, close contacts should be in quarantine: We spend a lot of time trying to find all these close contacts, and to make sure they are quarantined and isolated. Fourth, suspend public gatherings. Fifth, restrict movement, which is why you have a lockdown, the cordon sanitaire in French.
Q: The lockdown in China began on 23 January in Wuhan and was expanded to neighboring cities in Hubei province. Other provinces in China had less restrictive shutdowns. How was all of this coordinated, and how important were the “supervisors” overseeing the efforts in neighborhoods?
A: You have to have understanding and consensus. For that you need very strong leadership, at the local and national level. You need a supervisor and coordinator working with the public very closely. Supervisors need to know who the close contacts are, who the suspected cases are. The supervisors in the community must be very alert. They are key.
Q: What mistakes are other countries making?
A: The big mistake in the U.S. and Europe, in my opinion, is that people aren’t wearing masks. This virus is transmitted by droplets and close contact. Droplets play a very important role—you’ve got to wear a mask, because when you speak, there are always droplets coming out of your mouth. Many people have asymptomatic or presymptomatic infections. If they are wearing face masks, it can prevent droplets that carry the virus from escaping and infecting others.

They chased away all the China people many years ago. Remember the riot and protest? It helps.

Despite US Army best efforts in using tonnes and tonnes of agent orange, the population of Vietnam barely suffer a dent. VC is the human equivalent of 小强。
