I hardly thought twice about this when I saw it. That's rather worrying.

Then again, they're yellow people. This would matter if it hundreds were killed in America, but not in China.

Radio-Canada didn't care much yesterday. Just said 600 people died, but apparently since no Canadians have died, it's OK.

It's getting limited attention here - but the complete closure of airspace over much of north-western Europe is obviously the story of the day.
