RSD, just to make my overall position clear, I do not think this coronavirus is particularly harmful. Yes, some frail people die from it. But my concern as a traveller is the impact the various bans etc will have. I suspect that Bali will have this flowing in their system - and as you say from the local sources, it is pretty much business as usual. But the day that a few dozen cases get identified, I suspect the impact on their tourism industry will suddenly become very severe, due to the reactions of governments such as our own. ou can be absoultely guaranteed in the current climate that if half a dozen aussie tourists there get detected with the virus (even if they have barely a sniffle) that Australia will close down the border with Bali, which I suspect might just affect a tad your friends in their tourism game
