Went to the Eaton Centre today. After an hour or so we realized the mall was quite empty, and then we noticed....a near total absence of Chinese people. Perhaps they’re worried about racism, contagion or both.

That could be true but what I'm hearing from my Asian friends is that due to wild rumours on WeChat...there is a ton of paranoia in the community right now.@Jasmine18 It’s also Chinese New Year, so people may be away visiting family.
Toronto flower shop owner left ‘shaken’ after experiencing coronavirus racism
Sun., Feb. 2, 2020
Upper Beach neighbourhood is showing love and support to a local flower shop owner who recently experienced a senseless act of coronavirus-related discrimination.
In a phone interview, Andy Sue, the sole proprietor of Flower Centre at 1012 Kingston Rd., just west of Victoria Park Avenue, said he recently experienced “the single most offensive thing” that has even happened to him when a woman he does not know came into his shop and went on a xenophobic tirade.

Mary Mallon (September 23, 1869–November 11, 1938), known as "Typhoid Mary," was the cause of several typhoid outbreaks. Since Mary was the first "healthy carrier" of typhoid fever recognized in the United States, she did not understand how someone not sick could spread disease—so she tried to fight back.
Though Mallon was the first carrier found, she was not the only healthy carrier of typhoid during that time. An estimated 3,000 to 4,500 new cases of typhoid fever were reported in New York City alone and it was estimated that about three percent of those who had typhoid fever become carriers, creating 90–135 new carriers a year. By the time Mallon died over 400 other healthy carriers had been identified in New York.
Mallon was also not the most deadly. Forty-seven illnesses and three deaths were attributed to Mallon while Tony Labella (another healthy carrier) caused 122 people to become ill and five deaths. Labella was isolated for two weeks and then released.
Mallon was not the only healthy carrier who broke the health officials' rules after being told of their contagious status. Alphonse Cotils, a restaurant and bakery owner, was told not to prepare food for other people. When health officials found him back at work, they agreed to let him go free when he promised to conduct his business over the phone.
New Zealand bans all travel from china
Wonder when canada will follow.
They would never do that. There are so many Chinese students in Canada that an outright ban would cause problems.
