Auspicious shades of red are everywhere in Sydney's Chinatown, where Eric Wong, the proprietor of a seafood restaurant, pulls an orange lobster from a large tank of water and transfers it to another nearby. "Last night we were fully booked and today we have to call for more seafood," said Wong, explaining that the Lunar New Year had got off to a good start, with diners flowing in despite the nation's battle against the coronavirus. "Now you can see all our seafood tanks, some of them are empty already," Wong added.
