At MIT there were 3 Vietnamese young gents who lived in the library. They had sleeping bags they kept under a table in a back corner, took turns snoozing under the table, ate in the cafeteria, used the gym locker room for (minimal) hygiene activities and other facilities for personal relief (of

The university population in Seattle during the 80’s and 90’s was made up of many asian students. Mostly from Japan, and a sprinkle of Koreans who had the cash to pay out of state. They lived like standard college kids in the dorms at first then move out as they became more mature. With the

When I was at MIT 77-79 there was a fairly large contingent of Chinese students, most grad students. A lot at Hahvahd too. I think they got up to nearly half at some point, not sure now what the fraction is. Was similar at BU too. They pay tuition cash with a premium so that’s attractive to the

yeah, here's another reason the chicomms would lie: Wuhan Institute of Virology is in the area. This is China’s most advanced virus research laboratory, but until we know more about the real source of this virus, it would be too conspiratorial to make further judgments about cause

I had a good snicker seeing Guatemala shut out all Chinese from entry indefinitely. I think I read on BBC last week how this is much more insidious than SARS, in that the symptoms are less severe in most cases, which allows there to be stealth contagion from those who present mild or no

3+% death rate in ground zero area, and it is spreading around China but not as fatal according to the data presented here (like I believe it, the number is likely much much higher, I doubt if the Chicomms are being too honest here).  There now seems to be a fairly strict travel ban in place
