Coronavirus: Death Toll Passes Sars Virus as Dozens More Die in Wuhan "Dozens more people have died in the city at the centre of China’s coronavirus outbreak, where hospitals are severely undersupplied and understaffed and residents have described increasingly desperate conditions. Chinese sta...

Scotland ought to be winning this, but every time they look like scoring a try (about 4 or 5 times) they make a silly error! The understatement of the tournament after Stuart Hogg's dropped ball when over the line and not an Irish player within 2 meters - FALL ON THE BALL YOU MUPPET!! :banghead: To...

Well, we have the 6 Nations starting in a few days also....

The LHG (especially) and I are hugely concerned, with having family & friends in China - mostly Chongqing. Stories that not only face masks, but also eye and ear protection should be worn don't help. You can't avoid touching handles, handrails etc., etc., so a good idea is always to carry a smal...

Of course, we don't know whether these people travelled with said symptoms or they developed after arrival. As has been mentioned, there is a substantial incubation period. Very true! I would (perhaps daftly) assume that if they were showing symptoms they wouldn't have been able to travel from Chin...

How braindead, dumb and stupendously selfish are these people? 6 Chinese nationals turned up in Scotland from Wuhan with flu like symptoms. Now in quarantine. U can Google for news articles. 5 in Scotland, 1 in Northern Ireland (not that it makes a difference!) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020...

Are we in Thailand at a significantly greater risk than anywhere else in the world? At present places where there is a significant presence and flow of people from China the risk would be greater than places where there is not. That statement goes out the window once and if this virus becomes estab...

Sorry PeteC and all, but I want to make a point (without stuffing up the thread!!). I was living in China throughout the SARS - and lived in China most of which in Chongqing where I met my dear wife (the LHG!!). I can't tell you more than you know/think... The Chinese government lie. What I can say,...

Basically they are quarantining the entire city and everyone in it. Wuhan: Virus-hit Chinese city to shut public transport https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51215348 Tried it with SARS, utter cr@p, can't be done... Oh, and by the way - absolutely pointless!! Sad state of affairs basically.

Coronavirus: death toll doubles to 17 as China struggles to halt spread https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/22/coronavirus-china-measures-rein-spread-mutate-disease-death-toll All totals seem to be increasing very (too) quickly - a faster spread of the virus, a miss-reporting by the Chinese g...
