People with protective suits and respirators, coronavirus

As I write this, most of Western Europe is in some state of lockdown. And not just Europe; to give one example, the government of Vietnam last weekend did the same to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. What is the aim here? Many point to China, Singapore and South Korea: if we can just […]
