Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Semester start in SNU, South Korea is postponed by 2 weeks because of the virus. There are about 30 confirmed infections but the geographical closeness to China seems to make a huge wave there.
I'm about to do a semester there starting in March so that'll be interesting.

Oh well, it kinda exploded over the weekend in Korea. There have been over 700 new confirmed cases, although mostly in Daegu (about 250km south of Seoul).
I'm currently getting thousands of emails from SNU with updates and actions. There seem to be 2 research assistants in the college I will be in who have been in contact with infected people and placed "themselves under self-quarantine".
