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.

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

It was an easy test to do.

The URL in @jonsie's post changed overnight, the current one above.

And this somewhat odd statement from another article I saw yesterday, given UK Gov is leaving EU to get "more control over its borders..."

It beggars belief.. 🙄

I'm not arguing with anyone over this lockdown, but it just shows the disparity of reporting.

This from BBC 2 minutes ago

BBC says Boris Johnson 'considering' a month down lockdown next week.....

Oh just get on with it man. Either do it or not.

Interesting article about Spain being responsible for the increase in cases @pgn
