Coronavirus in the UK

[Cleoriff]

The BBC have announced that two patients in the UK have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

No further details have been given other than they are both members of the same family and are receiving specialist NHS care.

At present, 83 Britons and 27 foreign nationals are flying back to the UK from Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the outbreak.

The flight is due to land at RAF Brize Norton at 13:30 GMT.

The UK passengers will then be taken to Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral and quarantined for two weeks.

The Chinese seem to be so gullible I'm afraid. I said before that they would eat dog dirt if they were told it would prevent diseases.

Rather than clutter up this thread with non-nCov-2019 chat, I have sent you a PM with the link to the article from which my signature 👇 is taken 😁

Thanks @pgn
Crickey @jonsie - I suspect that you are right.

This is a little worrying. It seems we will not be told the truth by anyone in goverment or any so called experts on just how well the UK is prepared.
