Two weeks into the lockdown, many of us will be sick and tired of being stuck in our bubbles. But what if we had a bubble of 5 million? 

Health experts say if we manage to "squash" the curve, as a widely-shared Washington Post article about New Zealand put it on Wednesday, a border quarantine will stop the coronavirus from coming back.

Falling numbers of new confirmed infections suggest the lockdown and social distancing measures are working, but the borders - still open to Kiwis - remain a weakness, operating on somewhat of an honour system.

Baldwin street previously held the record for over a decade until June 2019, when the record was awarded to Ffordd Pen Llech, in Harlech, Wales.

Internal documents obtained by NTD suggest the Chinese regime knew about the outbreak long before they made the information public. Chinese authorities lifted the lockdown on Wuhan today.

But experts and locals worry that many cases are asymptomatic and not reported, which could trigger another #outbreak. The Chinese Communist Party first accused the U.S., then Italy for the origin of the #CCPvirus.
