Re: Chinese Coronavirus

D’you really think in a hotel where up tp 1,000 guests can be staying that this one case is going to be an isolated one ?
One report coming in says this person,a doctor no less , had a fever for six days before going g to a clinic !

If Matt Hancock says he’s worried ,so should we all be imo , this is not scaremongering . Persons returning fro Italy ought to self isolate but how many will ?

No l dont think he will be the only one Zuleika, l think we we may be
at risk of a fresh surge of new cases in europe and other regions
due to the fact that people are still travelling between countries
with little real precautions being enforced?
China is showing signs of declining new cases, but as is becoming evident, europe and others seem to be at risk now!
This was the question l posed in the OP, about high speed travel??

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Every country in the world appear to be doing something positive to protect it,s population from this virus. Except Britain. Why? Listening to various 'know it alls' on the news all they are worried about is the money that will be lost due to other countries banning things like air travel. Exporting goods etc; to this country. Surely protecting our own people should come first.
They tell us they are prepared if there is an outbreak in this country.
Why wait. Why not do something to try and prevent this virus coming here.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Britain has no reason to “ lock down” anywhere in the country as a whole ?
Are you suggesting there ought not to be anyone or anything coming into it?
It’s too late to prevent the virus coming here,it’s already here isn’t it .
I’m concerned about people who might be feeling symptoms but carry on going into work until they drop .
If they’re carrying this virus how many have they in turn infected ?
The situation now in Tenerife is cause for concern if indeed that one ill person is infected with the Coronovirus . Is the hotel going to be isolated as was the cruise ship ?

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Or have they learned the lesson from the Diamond Princess .....

Uncontrolled isolation does not work ..... all the the hotel guests and staff should be properly, and remotely, quarantined .....

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I am watching the situation closely, if the virus becomes widespread here I will cut myself off from people.
As a 71 year old with both respiratory and heart problems, I would be unlikely to survive the virus if I catch it

That won't be any hardship to me, solitude is my friend

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Italy is the one to worry about Zuleika! ,it has land borders with
4 other european countries with freedom of access to all of them?
Plus air and sea links to who knows where as well !
