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.

Just watching the number of big jets having second, and third, thoughts about landing in Manchester. Just getting'em on the deck safely's a challenge this weather!

Oh my god. You can quarantine humans but you can't do the same with birds who will fly from country to country. Easily transmitted to humans as well.
