[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've spent most of the day in the garden.
May as well make the most of the nice weather!

I've been sat out at various times during the day and not a soul has walked past the house. At least I have been able to sit and watch the guy over the road finally getting his roof done during the nice weather.

Was hoping for a full lockdown including work 😔😂

He should use that power of lockdown as we will still be having idiots breaking the rules.

Make something idiot proof, and someone will become/make a better idiot...

Other news agencies ARE using the word lockdown....(Though Boris never did!!)

The word lockdown generates interest in order to sell papers. We are not in lockdown at all. What we have is a stay at home order but unfortunately the message is still not getting across to the thickos that will continue to spread the disease.....

Can`t help thinking that the idiots won`t take a blind bit of notice and venture out in the morning...

[MI5]

Sadly true.....
