[tlug] COVID-19 travel warnings / Info

[Edward Middleton <edward.middleton@example.com>]

I hope everyone is doing OK.

Things seem to be escalating in Tokyo and it looks like there will be a 
lockdown or other measures in the coming days.

Most countries are advising their citizens to return home.  If you are 
planning on doing this I would act now before it becomes impossible.

The US embassy recommends

"having 14 days of food and prescription medications at home and 
preparing a “go-bag” including passports and copies of vital documents 
such as birth and marriage certificates."

Which seem like good advice given the uncertainty.

Here are some useful links.

The most useful graph in the above page is the "Serious Cases" "TOTAL" 
graph which gives you the number of people requiring hospital care.
