Please don’t come Japan at the moment. To date, the government has announced around 700-800 infected people. But I guess the actual numbers are much larger.Because many people haven’t been able to get the test even though they have the symptom.
This is an interview last week which says then CDC says the tests will be available mid-March. Has anyone heard any sooner timeframe? Because this is unacceptable.

There are no confirmed cases of #coronavirus in Hawaii, but we’re working hard to get new test kits from the CDC to our state as soon as possible.
Radio hear more in last week’s interview with Hawai‘i Public Radio

dear Japanese person don’t come to the US because our vaunted CDC has tested less than 500 people and cannot get working test kits to 47 states
