Some students say colleges not doing enough to combat coronavirus-fueled racism
"In classes, people won't want to sit next to them (Asians) . If they're coughing, everyone stares at them," he said. When one student sat down at a table, other students whispered to one another before leaving abruptly, according to Nguyen.

Update: South Korea reports 813 more coronavirus cases in 24-hours, cases total now 3,150, reports 4 more deaths to 17 total
Authorities also reported the country's first case of reinfection -- a 73-year-old woman who tested positive for a second time after her recovery and release from hospital last week.
The national total is expected to rise further with a screening of more than 260,000 people associated with the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, a cult that is directly linked to around half of the country's cases.

Will Sen. Chris Murphy infect the entire US Senate with COVID-19?
Iranian FM Zarif and his entourage were likely COVID-19 carriers at the Munich Security Conference. The Democrat party senator who met with him for over an hour in Zarif's hotel room must be watched for signs of disease.

First world problem alert:
I'm supposed to be off to Germany in a fortnight* to watch a football match. Hope it doesn't get to the stage of cancelling major sporting events across Germany or I'll be a wee bit out of pocket.
*Trying to get as much EU travel in as I can before I need a visa.

Germany: 262 cases, 0 deaths
To rate your risk of travel to Germany:
How much travel between Germany and China, Iran, Italy? Those are the 3 countries that most cases are being spread from.
The temperature matters, the virus is most active between 55 and 75 deg F ( 12 to 24 deg C )
The nCoV-2019 attaches to ACE2 receptors of lung epithelial cells, Asians have 2x the genetic receptors compared to Northern & Western Europeans
Condition of your lungs? Do you smoke? Air quality where you live? ( china has very high levels of air pollution ), asthma, copd? Damaged lungs most easily infected
Drinking alcohol? alcohol inhibits ACE2 receptors
Open or enclosed spaces? sunlight UV kills viruses
Wearing anything that reduces the number of times you rub your nose or eyes?
80-85% of people only get a mild case and just spread it to others, only 15% of infected need medical attention, in a 1st World country probably only of 1 to 2% infected will die, 3rd World 5 to 7.5% will die
In 2 weeks, estimate Germany will have about 750 identified cases, 7 deaths
So how would you rate your risk now?
