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.

Well how very benevolent of Kellogs to "worry " about the vitamin D levels of the, "needy" population @pgn
Couldn't have anything to do with the Bank Balance I'm sure😎

Perhaps they foresee issues with BOC (or whoever it is these days) getting supplies through the queues to get to the ferries, as the cross-border supplies may be tricky after 1st Jan. 

Altnagelvin is about 50miles due north of the red dot that is further west in Northern Ireland. 

Who thinks leaving the EU in the midst of a pandemic is a good idea?

I never thought leaving the EU was a good idea at any time @pgn !!

Me either, @Cleoriff - but surely someone somewhere can see the problem with following that path at this particular juncture? It really is the straw that is threatening to break the camel's back, and nobody would blame them for taking a step back to clear the immediate, global, threat.

Great film, Knives Out, btw!

My test for Covid 19 antibodies came in the post today

Ipsos MORI NHS UCL (University College London)

I do not have Covid 19 antibodies and have completed the post test survey

It was an easy test to do.

Great news about the Covid-19 antibody test result, @Anonymous.

And thank you for the comment, @TallTrees, about the Vit-D in Kellogg's cereals, and yes, the spin on the marketing blurb was 110% apparent 

And lastly, @Cleoriff, I suspect the local hospital needs to beef up its on-site Oxygen generation plant capabilities to meet demand - 10quid says what they have was sized for non-pandemic, non-flu, non-winter conditions, if at all, to save the trust a few thousand quid. Aim low, land in the gutter, I think. But that article they released was 100% scaremongering, despicable to talk to the press that way. BOC will be rubbing their hands in glee:

@pgn Agree with all said about Brexit, pity some believed the lies put up by the Boris/Gove team ...I am busy making lookalike dolls for each of them ready to stick pins in 🤣
Unbelievably since then they became our treacherous leaders.
Don't understand it. @Cleoriff
