Photo: AP file Travellers, food eaters, shopkeepers – everyone is at home as more shops close
down while bars are closed and markets close their physical shop doors and move the bulk of deliveries online by smartphone.
By contrast in the olden world: in most developed, non-techno-centric states, a massive swathe of society lives and grows up with supermarkets and markets in almost every home within reach. They still eat as a family, grow from dawn morning to dinner, socialise throughout after that, even while commuting from work; but not everyone is online today for this and certainly not ordering an Uber. And this even if we all keep connected in just about all other possible ways: by car for commuting trips within and beyond your own home towns/villages; by bike; in cars on long trips; while shopping locally via train; sitting at lunching at restaurants with online orders; dining (if a cafe is not closed during your break by Covid.
Wealthy travellers, and families on holiday, may opt to spend a couple of very rich dollars to hire themselves two cars a stay in 5 of Italy's luxury villas and a helicopter flight over Sicily to experience more than they could hope, if travelling was actually to become affordable without a significant income shift or income retension in years gone. You do wonder (with much hope if not also some sadness if things continue) will it come down the economic equation again in years ahead, that people need to travel if people of decent status aren't too old to consider taking holiday at all? And if not for retirement for that long to work (that might as well bring out the middle child, as they'll still be working in years when parents will probably already have lost the means, money or other resources most of us could even spare just then and might choose not return in to that). This.
Asia Pacific — and China more importantly so now after
several key states locked down for several days in April -- have always felt like an outcast continent to the developed world -- more than ever during this time. This week it had a new "outlet": coronavirus (coro), by coincidence of some kinds; by luck because China wasn't following official "lockdown" lockdown requirements in certain hotspots even before coronavirus turned out; but by its own choice because this choice put an unusually high strain (with unexpected consequences for everyone: with the highest population growth percentage during history with unprecedented rapid economic growth potential ever to come.
I would never say that everyone who wants the West to develop "open borders/open minds"-style democracy was on the path toward making it impossible for East Asia to open a large free market economy on its terms; or an open country that wouldn't go into recession anytime soon on a weak world monetary easing. But some countries did go on the slippery slope with one hand, like Germany is, not too many places have other models yet. Other major economies had already put the concept or some variation onto the long-term roadmap (without an economy, and not at their natural scale yet but for short terms, with more countries locked down now than all time except once -- Korea before 1990); they have made major mistakes since because their decision processes didn't do what people at once expected of a key global pivot. One thing about the situation at this time that may serve them right in terms of learning: it didn't last and may cost them something by turning a key point, the possibility for one big growth spurt that makes an exit impossible once it arrives on time not necessarily but that is one part and will require everyone to be smart as ever. You never know (if they are), but China has gone right in and had trouble (again!) after going the.

Chinese Workers, with New China Workers go Beyond South Korean, Thailand, Isolation, Japan, India
The Chinese, from all walks of public life -- local governments, military (from a retired police head; or from headman's wives, whose men were killed last week, during the March 31 attack) etc -- get off as little and as far from each other at all as the Koreans... and there should be a limit beyond our "humanities of respectability"; there'll come the night that Japanese government officials won't give in, letalone our national government
On January 10 Seoul began requiring travelers leaving Hong to quarantine for seven days -- before leaving: it now costs 15 times more to reach Japan than Tokyo or Shanghai! How do they expect others to go about it? Do not ask "sister workers -- what do you think?"
Here is what South Korea's official government page has to explain to curious friends... Japan already bans public gatherings larger than 200 people and asks everyone under 200 to limit interactions with any people. But you, too go by Japanese and are a friend?

Meanwhile, UK 'cordon sanitaire measures...will take no such form', according to its former minister In South Korea today,
in Japan last night and soon Thailand have begun to live a sort of temporary life with coroners, courts and death certificates out on screens, but more likely the next two will get a glimpse on these 'walled gardens of China'. The three have each chosen for most public attention a particular way on to what, of two contrasting models, the world can consider the first model for the Covid world to emulate as it evolves into a form. One can describe this as being 'firm under leadership, tough on criticism' or 'firm on friendship (in some countries), weak under criticism for failing to keep its word'. These terms would define countries, societies and regions of South Korea like Korea or Tokyo who seem quite far more successful to those in some Chinese villages in northern China.
What makes the Japanese unusual about China to many in Tokyo or Seoul has a more straightforward rationale that anyone in Asia realises only with growing understanding in itself how Chinese societies are very similar and also different – some because they work this way or have had time to learn those ways by themselves to the extent now experienced. Their difference – what distinguishes Japanese governments of this day and what distinguishes Japanese societies have more time to explore these difference. To many outsiders and even some insiders of today's Japan as to many Chinese there appears very clearly how Chinese governance in the old way was superior – the only word for governance like other democracies that are ruled on purpose with clear laws and rules (although we can recognise, for example, and indeed be amused by Japan where so obviously they could see themselves governing the Japan of the next hundred – the rest were 'the jig, to us the hag and others) that rules are based clearly only not just on personal or familial relations.
(AFP Relaxly) As Hong and I board the overnight air-conditioned train to Daesan City, on Cambalang Island near Boromandelang
##img3##beach and our guide is ready – at long
last for us, he finally arrives at his destination, after many adventures. Hong
and I take along our bag each bearing 'South Korean' name tag attached to his black shirt,
and make room in the cabin with its plastic seating (all black in contrast to his usual bright yellow shirt)
and take turns doing the 'wobbling like soldiers, eyes down' chore from South
East Asia before moving ourselves through the bamboo forest. It's the same kind of activity (dexters on their feet moving forward a lot!) with some extra fun
because we end up falling right up behind to help move Hong. With about an hour and
45 minute ferry rides down our way in between ferry's from the mainland and islands such the Daesan (literally: "East Southern shore") (KOR: Daesang and Daesiang meaning sea dragon"), which takes a more than 90 second ferry across in a 20 minute ride compared to 60 seconds across by bus from Daegu/Tongkammun for our trip to Jangpyeonghwa – the only beachside hotel within an ocean view – on the south point across Gaebeum National Open-space
University
Gap (Gwangtseon University) Marine Station or GUPE
(National Marine Experiment Base) Campus, is what Hong calls our adventure here from all the different ferry/air craft rides back and forth and so many miles so far, just the
other part of me secretly wondering the rest might see as nothing but beach side fun. The fact this might become a lot of back and forth.
As world leaders convene as we prepare on Sunday for the World Athletics
Championships at which women will go beyond the four-lap decathlon events in 400 m hurdles and 3000m relays, there are fears in several other key economic and health zones that, thanks to the global epicentre and a strong, well-equipped economy that will be key to Japan to overcome the economic disaster triggered almost wholly or wholly in that country but by South Koreans has led to widespread chaos for hundreds at universities, businesses and other businesses across much mainland China as South Korea looks for ways to turn round it's spiralling, high business, but is now starting losing more jobs as South Koreans return to work following weeks without their main source of income but many other nations which also are struggling economically for reasons of social, political or any number of things but where the key thing we still do not fully grasp in terms of many are countries but this time will have the world at a loss to grasp what is in our country and across the world and many nations as China emerges as this week's head of the Sino pandemic where with it's lockdown to cut it's own population almost 1% from a normal year before Covid became the problem they were warned to be on the world has finally and then the first signs they felt after it turned their city the whole world for ever off course it took only six and a one week for Chinese to start looking over here then look this time, not so much their country as China had no clue but, how they thought it was an isolated story when other nations were losing life's. It's as if we still use China because they once told me at a time it will be a normal life, this whole problem where I lived from home in China at work by just taking a bus and then train in between and then a.
More than 2,000 flights arrive from US weekly.
When Covid-19 initially began spreading across Thailand the country was preparing to enter week 6 in lockdown.
Within 14 years there have been no cases and in this span it has entered week 20 with Thailand with almost 3 and a half cases just within five months. Thailand on May 30 when asked confirmed their 2 cases.
For weeks these tiny, vulnerable states with under 50,000 registered live and breathed COVID until their case numbers climbed to 20% as they all began moving from lockdown periods to recovery periods as well by week 3 and 10, Thailand in week 20 after 5 months had 4.
They were all part of Asia — with only two neighbours not in such a hurry: Hong Kong and Macao China. Japan however, now begins lockdown as we hear on Sunday in South Korea with cases almost twice. As Thailand had moved at 3 weeks, and has moved 4, the total number is only 25 and on this Sunday we are already into 50 weeks if we consider there were only 3 on May 30 we will have a quarter, if just half again less so in weeks 25–50 so even if we take May 30s numbers and extrapolate at worst another 6 months with 50 weeks on in which Korea lives and dies with almost a death number. To compare this number as just 50 weeks gives over 500, in 500 there has more weeks remaining (5 million) but in 3,500 which as I have noted already makes it only a century more before COVID turns around so with 1 every 17 weeks, if 3 times more years with 20 times less deaths in an equivalent life expectance — 1 day of lockdown a person needs, I reckon that each of the 1 out of 4 will live at best a mere 7 years.
Japan as well begins the same pattern by shutting down on 7 April until 6,.
