On the plus side, many of us in Bali spent time a lot of time outdoors, not in crowded places where transmission occurs more easily. On the down side, the healthcare system here leaves a lot to be desired if one gets sick and becomes a serious case. It's really a mixed bag.
Yes, this is what I am thinking. Fortunately, we work from home. My son just finished exams at school, so I am thinking of just keeping them at home for now. My MIL is visiting now, who is in good health but has problems before.
My wife just went to Siloam for an illness unrelated to the coronavirus and she said they were checking everyone's temperatures and were quite vigilant. Singaraja though anyone was just walking in and out with no checks. The staff were wearing masks though. But yeah, if it spread here it would be disastrous for Bali. We can only hope the virus doesn't spread in the heat/humidity.
