I am on a J class China Eastern flight from JFK-PVG heading to TPE on April 22nd.
Turns out MU 298 & 297 (JFK-PVG routes) were canceled for April 22nd, but other MU flights (MU 587/8) were not. The latter flights depart JFK in the evening; the former very early morning around 1:30am.
Any reason why MU would cancel some flights in this route, and not others?

A professor at the university (NUS) where our conference was to take place has been diagnosed positive.

Did these people also visit the HNL Delta lounge before their flight? I was in that lounge on Feb 8, which is either 1 or 2 days later - do journalists not double check these different dates?
One note about the lounge - many people tried to get in and failed during our stay. So people may not have "visited" the lounge, but might have touched everything at the entry point before being turned away. Not many used the giant tub of Purell at the desk.

As expected...it was 50/50 likely for the last few days (as long as it's been on the news) that these two infected people flew back on either DL or HA to NGO, just the return flight was not disclosed until tonight. So it is DL then, finally the return flight info was released (the last few days only the OGG-HNL flight info was released and only the Oahu but not the Maui hotel).
That begs the question that's been on my mind for a while, given that Japan is on the verge of a covid-2019 epidemic (most cases outside of China, increasing amounts of community spread without links to China - as this is a prime example of), what are the measures that DL has been taking for its, now frankly rather risky, flights to Japan? Is it doing the basics, that practically all other airlines are doing, such as thoroughly deep clean disinfecting aircraft after each flight to/from Japan, quarantining its FAs that are on Japan flights and not having them fly on non-Japan flights, having FAs mandatory wear a facemask, and minimizing items aboard plane that multiple pax touch? That is what any/every prudent airline is doing. What about DL?

Why do you think Japan is particularly at risk? From what I read, the vast majority of the cases and nearly all the human-to-human transmissions are from the Diamond Princess. While I‘d rather not be on that ship right now, it doesn‘t change the risk calculus for the rest of Japan.

Some more Delta specific updates here:

(Though not sure why these posts about DL flights to/from Japan got mixed into the thread about long-ago cancelled China flights.)

Maybe a slight thread title change would be helpful?

safe to go to Mumbai this week?
Scheduled to fly out to get miles this week - would anyone suggest against going due to corona virus? Got a steal of a deal - $795 r/t and then $200 each way to upgrade to P.S. - only there for three days.
