(AFP: A man is transferred from the World Dream cruise ship to an ambulance at the Kai Tak cruise terminal in Hong Kong on February 5, 2020, as health officials conduct inspections in the wake of the SARS-like virus outbreak across China. More Chinese cities hunkered down by fencing off streets and telling millions of people to stay home as the death toll from the new coronavirus soared to nearly 500 on February 5. Hong Kong now has 18 confirmed infections, the majority people who were infected in mainland China.
