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.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51325192
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.

And here, alas without pictures, is one of the better explanations around mutations/variants/strains of this thing and how the situation is not as dismal as it might at first glance appear:

I listened to an eminent scientist last night who informed us we will be living with the Sars virus as an endemic for the rest of our lives. In the same way we live alongside flu.
We will need vaccinating on an annual basis. (I think we knew that)
I was thinking of all the connotations of this which have yet to be explained. (Ie in the interim)
In theory we broke the law when we saw our grandson on Sunday. He drove from Leicester to Nuneaton for one day which was his birthday.
However, did we actually break any law? Both Ray and I have been vaccinated, the grandson had a Covid test the day before he travelled and was clear. He only ever leaves his room for essentials such as shopping. He does all his lectures online and never enters the University. All these individual cases and no clarity on anything.

It could be that we need to fully understand the way we can catch this virus, the best ways of attacking it before it gets into your system.
@Cleoriff
Vaccination is a way of reducing the affects.
Sterilising is killing it.
Masks preventative.
I am trying to fully understand best ways.
To get around. 🤔🤔

If the Cabinet had its way, we'd all be criminals, locked away in isolation, @Cleoriff.

Yes fully unlocked @Cleoriff
Never to be in lockdown again..
According to our leader BOJO 😇
I have no doubt that the government can't shut the economy down any more.
But what can this really mean... the virus doesn't care.... the more unlocking the better.
Party, pubs, diners, holidays, weddings, birthdays, celebrations 🍾 footy racing yippee🤭
To spread itself the virus needs humans to be out and about, flying in planes, cruising, skiing, boating ha ha 👹☠
Full of hope that all is well come Winter this year 🙏
