    Don't think so. I miss the reference. It may have been one of his movies I didn't see.

    Apparently there are people in China that are pulling masks out of the garbage and trying to sell them as new. It's pretty crazy over there.

    do you mean when? more likely to spread through Africa first. There are close to 500k Chinese workers in Africa building all those projects they let those poor African countries borrow money to build

    Except that there already confirmed cases in India and I doubt their Healthcare system is much more ready to deal with the virus than the ones in Africa outside of S. Africa.
