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.

Did it ever stop?!?

No it didn't and yet again a lack of direction from the government, this time re masks. ie You don't have towear them but it might be better if you did!!

Yet again leaving it to the tradespeople, shopkeepers et al, to be the 'guardians' if they insist people should wear masks in shops.

Add to that, schools are on holidays, so let the mayhem begin.

I also enjoyed the story that despite being pinged by the test and trace app, neither the PM nor the chancellor were going to isolate after the health minister tested positive.
Only to do a 180 the next day and say they are.
I mean, how hard is it to follow their own instructions and isolate after someone they are in close contact tests positive?
But as usual it is one rule for us and one rule for them...

And now we have 150+ cases in England of the so-called 'winter vomiting bug', norovirus, to contend with...

Highly contagious as well. It seems to be another year of bad health news.

Add to that Dominic Cummings, full of revenge, spewing his bile in a BBC 2 interview tonight.

Dumbinic is a snake. I'm giving as much attention to what he is telling us as I do to Boris.

Dumbinic, along with FreeDumb Day, yes. Somebody is playing us for fools, I think.

Why are the media giving Dumbings so much time ... ?

Considering the way he completely obliterated them when they were given the opportunity to humilate him publically on live TV last year, its quite surprising they give him any airtime. Then again, the press are parasites who have the memory retention of goldfish in search of a story. 

Its all part of the plan to oust Boris by the end of the year.

Well, now - that's probably not an unforeseen outcome:
