I live in Bali. It's business as usual but really quiet except for the usual amount of surfers. The few Chinese that are herd are all wearing masks but not many other people are except at the airport. A kiwi mate of mine was going out with a local Doctor until a week ago. He had all the goss on all things medical but she didn't have much to report so I'd say there's not much happening on that front in Bali. Personally I can't believe the hysteria going down in Oz, are these people for real? There's also plenty of other things here that are more deadly than Corona like Japanese encephalitis (not much) and Dengue and driving on a motorbike without a helmet. Come over, don't try and beat the Balos down on their prices cause they're starting to do it hard and have a great time. N.b. There's no shortage of toilet paper, bintangs and rice.
Been to Bali three times over the last ten years.
Love it. It's the kind of place I could retire on.
But they do business differently over there so it doesn't surprise me if it seems lax right now. Low incomes for the many means that health risks can get overlooked in order to ensure the tourists keep coming.
France may be going full lockdown in 2 days apparently.
