MORE THAN 60% of commercial flights in and out of Beijing have been cancelled amid a new coronavirus outbreak.
The Communist Party’s Global Times said 1,255 flights to and from the capital’s two airports had been shelved as of Wednesday morning, equivalent to 67% of outgoing and 68% of incoming flights.
Beijing has enacted a number of measures to limit travel in and out of the city, especially among those coming from districts where new cases have been detected.
The city of more than 21 million people had essentially eradicated cases of local transmission but in recent days has added 137 new cases with no new deaths.
Beijing today raised its threat level from 3 to 2, leading to the cancellation of classes, suspension of plans for opening up and stiffened requirements for social distancing.
No official public notice on a change in regulations has been issued by China’s civil aviation authority or by either Beijing Capital Airport – traditionally the world’s second busiest handling more than 101 million passengers – or Beijing Daxing International Airport.
Meanwhile, several provinces were quarantining travellers from Beijing, where all schools – which had mostly reopened – have been ordered to close again and return to online classes.
“The epidemic situation in the capital is extremely severe,” Beijing city spokesman Xu Hejian warned yesterday.

@Mill Lane: always some clown who turns everything back to the oul politicians “gag”
@thomas patrick: ahh come on Tom,, I’m a huge SC-FI fan,, but that was a good gag….:)
@Mill Lane: me too
10/10 love love love Star Trek.
@joanne healy: Kardashians? Hahahahha. They are aliens? I knew it!
@Arya: I have only ever watched keeping up with the Kardashians once, for about 5 minutes. I remember thinking someone had screwed up the spelling of cardassian, but was excited to think they might have their own spin off , as I enjoyed garak as a character. Yeah, I was very very disappointed when I learned the truth.
Never watched it. Got 7/10. Pretty happy with that.
@Burn_the_Witch: the force is strong in this one ( I did that on purpose ha ha ha ha)
@Burn_the_Witch: Tempted now?! Ah go on!
9 out of 10, ok for a Trekkie I guess. Oh, and Star Trek Picard episode one is outstanding!
@The Risen: agreed saw it last night.
I got 50/50 couldn’t ask a friend lol, hope Star Trek Picard will be on TV here soon.
@Mick McGuinness: watched it earlier, story has real potential and has plenty references for fans and some cool guest appeances. Stewart’s a class act. Definitely going on my weekly viewing list.
@Mick McGuinness: amazon prime only I’m afraid. Discovery season 1 only appeared on channel 4 about 3 years after first airing so I wouldnt wait that long
@Derek: the future is vast Derek
@Mick McGuinness: install Typhoon TV if you have an android device to watch it, handy app as I’ve found a lot of shows aren’t available outside US/Canada or not available here yet on Amazon or Netflix
@Mick McGuinness: Amazon Prime Video is 2.99 a month. Worth it for Picard.
10/10 though i did a rewatch of the entire franchise(shows and movies) in the last 6 months so everything is mostly fresh in my mind. Love Star Trek.
Actually sitting here after watching Voyager and now on TNG and still only got 7, sheesh!
@Tricia G: Voyager was class…
@Ricky: pity they didn’t have a final film w Voyager and DS9 crew
Rick Bergman made a balls of it all
@Quentin Moriarty: Voyager finale was very rushed, especially the last 10-15 minutes. And Enterprise wasn’t really any good. So looking forward to seeing what happened after Voyager ended.
You should have put a wrong answer to one of them and watch the internet break down.
8/10, thought I knew the show better
9/10 love it!!
Some options are plain ridiculous. Obviously little thought put into it.
@Phillip O’Brien: Have you ever kissed a girl?
@brefanlfc: A lot, yes; what’s your point.

@Dominic Kenneally: say that to Alexa
8 outta 10.!!
Ok, only knew Q and that was because of James Bond..
