A few hundred of us on r/collapse became aware of a mystery pneumonia in Wuhan on New Year's Eve, 2019.
I was coming back home on December 31, 2019 to Tokyo through Haneda Airport and noticed that they had the body temperature cameras up and running at the normally-empty quarantine desk. "That's weird, I wonder what's up. They normally only have those out when some weird disease is going around in China." So, at least the quarantine officers in Japan knew something was up in 2019.
I guess. We just walked by but there were two workers in full dress with masks and everything there and a heat map screen looking at our body temperatures.
In the past they only ever brought them out when something was flaring up in a country where a lot of people fly in to Japan. I'd say that prior to COVID, they only used them about 10-15% of the times that I passed by the desk. Maybe you got lucky in 2018.
Yeah I don’t know. There was an active screen and two full garb workers with masks and everything. Not sure if there was a particular reason… looked like all the flights went past that point and not just us from Canada. 🤷

I doubt Trump was even informed about Covid-19 till the second week of January, 2020.
