Novel Coronavirus – China

[nick sussex]

Looks a bit of a mess regarding the quarantine.

Many there might also be thinking get out before flights end which at some point they will .

I doubt many will be travelling from other countries into that region now but it’s the people leaving which is like virus spreading on steroids .

I really don't know what the government is waiting for. It can see quite clearly what is happening in Italy...the time for draconian measures is NOW.

What are those "draconian measures" cc?

Not Quarantine as I know it - I truly believe our government has lost the plot..

Well Italy  are allowing the fights to leave, and they weren't only landing in the UK ...seems lots of Governments are struggling with what a quarantine actually is.

From Milan!!

Flights from China should have stopped as soon as the situation there came apparent. That's world wide not just for us.

After this all over the Governments will have to re-think world air traffic and freedom of access.

That should probably have been done, the outbreak was known in November but now really all measures are to late except in isolated populations and now all we can do is let Corona run its course

In reality I think that world leaders have already decided to let the virus run its course and do its thing.

We are the pigs in their laboratory!!!

I think that could be referring to the l strain   the much  more dangerous  strain

That’s really sad for the club and supporters . How many chances do a club like Wolves get to play in European football.

I totally understand why they’ve come to that decision but nonetheless it’s still a bitter blow to those fans .

Ok so how fast is this thing changing, or is it that both China strains are in the US, and they didn't know there were two. 

[Zak M]

No surprise there.

Nope - if you self quarantine how the hell can you become infected in your own home?

On letters and parcels, groceries ordered online...even on whatever it is the Amazon delivery guy brings you?

I thought this was pretty interesting. An account of two mild cases aboard the Diamond Princess.

The fact you still test positive 3 weeks later is a bit worrisome

Use your common sense when you open them, wash your hands afterwards and avoid contact with other parts of body, then only cook food, do not eat raw.

Something does not add up with regards to the number of deaths reported between Italy and Germany. Are we looking at 2 strains here? If so, we need to pray the lesser strain gets a foothold first.

Exactly! Lock down where, precisely? Close the airports, ferries and tunnel? Why?

Yes I thought that - I had a very mild cold at Christmas which had similar symptoms to what could be a lesser strain?

I had a upper respitory infection in October with a cough that lasted about 6 weeks....
