We've been trying to tell our family back in HK about the situation in the U.S. but we sorely lack some specific words to talk about it and have been replacing with English or finding descriptive phrases.
I'm just going to use English here for context, here are some stumbling points:
"They aren't *testing* people." I think the word for test is jim?
"They won't admit people into the hospital unless they have severe symptoms." We just say they won't let them into hospital (m bei jup), is there a more precise word for admission in colloquial context. Also symptoms, severe symptoms, seems like there is a more precise phrase than bang, hao bang.
"They can test people but they are backlogged, cannot complete the test." "hou ji jim dan hai ...... "
"People are asymptomatic and carry it." Like "hau neng jou jen bang".
"Quarantine, isolation, etc" Like obviously we just say, can't go out, or need to stay home, etc.
"Government moblization, preparation." I think is just "jing fu kurt ding"
