NHS haven’t done anything like that in a long time, and generally don’t “over react” I’m thinking that like china at the start people thought they were over reacting but as said before “actions speak louder than words”

Doctor who sounded alarm on coronavirus died
Can someone help me out here, as i cant sift through 93 pages... but did this guy die in a mysterious way or did he just get the virus & die? Something feels off here.. 34 years old? I thought this was affecting old people and children... not healthy adults?

So I found this article while I was surfing. It talks about how Tennessee is being battered by storms and that got me thinking...could storms like this help spread the so called WuFlu by causing a secondary disaster alongside it?
Just a thought...

Isn’t any point getting wound up or stressed about it, by the time we all know it will be to late, best you can do is stay calm, wash hands like you’ve ocd, Ovid planes (if possible) and don’t be going to big crowded public events for a months or so if it all blows over
Stay chilled and drink beer (or wine)
Britain’s third coronavirus case flew in to UK from OUTSIDE China: Patient was diagnosed in Brighton before being whisked off to quarantine in London hospital
Britain's third coronavirus patient flew into the country from outside China, it was revealed today - sparking fears the outbreak is much more widespread than previously thought. Public Health England said the patient had not visited the mainland and instead caught the highly contagious virus 'elsewhere in Asia' before arriving back to the UK sometime last week. They went to A&E at the Royal Sussex in Brighton on Sunday night after suffering flu-like symptoms, where they were tested for the killer disease and kept in for monitoring. When results came back positive this morning they were whisked off to be quarantined for at least two weeks in a specialist infectious diseases unit at a London hospital.
The latest case raises fears the virus is now circulating in higher numbers than previously thought outside of the mainland. NHS bosses are expected to warn GPs to be on red alert for patients with symptoms from other Asian nations later today. It comes amid a furious backlash at the Government's 'passive' response to the outbreak, after 16 countries including the US and Australia banned anyone from entering if they had been in China in the past two weeks. Scores of travellers from the disease-stricken country have been pouring into Britain every day without being properly tested for the infection, prompting calls for a similar blanket ban.
Dr Brian Jarman, an retired professor from Imperial College London, has used statistics to predict how the outbreak could progress over the next three weeks. He worked out how many new cases are being diagnosed each day and the rate at which this is increasing, then applied it as a formula to the next 22 days. Dr Jarman found that there could be 31,810 cases and 636 deaths by the end of today, February 6. By February 13, this could rise to 67,409 cases and 1,304 deaths. By February 20, 116,444 cases and 2,214 deaths and, by February 29, 199,230 cases and 3,741 deaths. The calculations assume that the outbreak will continue to escalate at its current rate. He said predicting any further ahead in the same way would be inaccurate because the virus should soon start to slow down naturally.
status for Shanghai 6/2: - No restrictions on leaving the community - No restrictions on leaving the city (mobile registration for entering)
The situation in Hangzhou. Currently two districts are on lockdown. We were given 3 tickets. One ticket is good for Feb 5-6, another for 7-8, and the last 9-10. One person may use the ticket to exit the residence. Non-essential businesses are closed in the affected districts. Schools in all of the city are closed until at least March
The districts that are closed do not have a large number of cases but are the most densely populated. These seem to be preventative measures rather than containment
Shenzhen, no restrictions but each district and home complex as well as any shopping mall and public office take your details and test your fever (some only the latter). Overall quite good, they literally drop disinfectants in the street every 20 mins
Beijing. Encouraged to stay home. Most shops closed besides groceries. Temperatures taken and no food deliveries inside of compounds.
