....great even closer to me than Birmingham. Are they in quarantine? Waiting test results?

I'm told it's confirmed - therefore tested positive.

However, this obviously isn't official so wait for official confirmation.

Britain on coronavirus red alert: Paramedics in hazmat suits and gas masks are sent to suspected patients at a London university and a hotel in York - as experts warn a confirmed case is imminent

Britain is on red alert for coronavirus after paramedics around the country were seen whisking patients to hospital - as experts warn a confirmed case is imminent. Medics head to toe in white protective overalls and gas masks were filmed marching a patient through student university accommodation in the capital last night. They escorted a woman wearing a surgical face mask out of the halls at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in Holborn at around 9pm.

Today multiple witnesses saw medics in full quarantine uniform load a man into an ambulance and take him to hospital in York. The patient, who is believed to be Chinese, had checked into the budget Staycity Hotel yesterday. A guest in the room – who also hasn't been identified – is thought to have called a doctor after he became unwell. Paramedics took him and two guests, who are all understood to be Chinese, from the hotel shortly at 8pm last night.

well isn't that encouraging... /s

Thank you!

I work in downtown Toronto and take a lengthy train ride to work (over 2 hours combined for the return trip).

I am hearing about offices advising employees home from China to stay home for a few days and then return to work if not symptomatic. If this has a longer incubation time, I am at a loss to understand the advice.

I dearly hope this virus does not take hold here, but it only takes one.

It's almost like they want the virus to spread... eh?

Three Japanese citizens evacuated from Wuhan test POSITIVE for new coronavirus that has killed 170 - as the Philippines and India become the latest countries to confirm cases

Three Japanese people who were evacuated from Wuhan have tested positive for coronavirus - while India and the Philippines become the latest counties to confirm cases. Two of the Japanese nationals did not show symptoms when they boarded the plane on Wednesday - fuelling fears hosts of the virus may be spreading it unwittingly.

Japan's three new cases take the Asian nation's tally to 11, while India and the Philippines became the latest nations to confirm cases. The Indian patient was a medical student from the country's Kerala region, who had been studying at Wuhan University. The 38-year-old Filipino woman was diagnosed when she came down with a mild cough four days after returning from Wuhan.

where has the philipino been for 4 days?

They don't give a damn. It's all laughs and games until someone gets a reality check

I mean, might as well get it over with, it’s like ripping off a bandaid or even worse, tegaderm.

At least we will start getting real time valuable data with these first few patients, until it starts spreading like crazy over here and they cut off communication sources for our protection.

Russia has closed it borders. If the virus takes hold in India (large cities) I would suspect Armageddon like consequences just because of pop density & poverty levels worse than China. IDK, just a dismal thought.

a reply to: EndtheMadnessNow

India has already one confirmed case

a reply to: Agit8dChop

People would be amazed by how full our planet would be if there weren't periodic plagues. In fact, we might not be here now. Extinction due to overpopulation.

This is so hearbreaking...

A 17 year-old boy with cerebral palsey died because his father was forced into isolation. He was left alone for six days in rural Hubei Province and was only fed twice that entire time by authorities.

Check out the number of critical cases. The infections has exceeded SARS and looks like the fatalities may also. I'd imagine the resources/treatment are pretty stretched out there so coming back from critical might be very lucky.

This might spread to space...hmm..


Nasa to open International Space Station to tourists


I hope they test the space tourist.. lol

Animals, my oldest has autism and epilepsy, he’s very similar to the portrayal in the tv show The Good Doctor, just limited verbal ability due to seizures. He can’t be alone until we resolve his issues. Family comes first, always.

If they are pushing people as hard as it seems on Twitter and other sources, people will begin to resist and it will spread even faster throwing counterinsurgency operations into the picture.

And so it begins.
