Re: Chinese Coronavirus
I heard a young woman being interviewed this morning and she said her husband rang 111 because of a sore throat and not feeling too good and they were told to go to A & E for tests.She said the people testing had no protective clothing other than a face mask and gloves, and a thin plastic apron.
That's not how we see it on telly with them covered from head to toe, is it.

David and Sally Abel were very cheery at the beginning of their isolation but their experience has drained them and left them worried about their future .....

Do you believe testing staff are not taking adequate protection?

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
A Sunshine Coast man, who has been in quarantine on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, has tested positive for coronavirus and will be separated from his wife.Paul and Coralie Williamson have been in isolation on board the stricken ship, docked off Yokohama in Japan, since February 4.
Mr Williamson said he would be transferred to hospital and his wife would "remain on board at this stage".
It is unfortunate timing for the couple because they were due to be evacuated to Australia, god's own country, today.
Monash University Professor of infectious diseases, Allen Cheng, said the virus was most likely spreading through poor hand hygiene and contaminated food trays.
Of 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew on the ship, about 542 people have caught the virus.
The Australians being evacuated will fly to Darwin, where they will be quarantined for another fortnight.
The Government has said passengers will be tested for coronavirus five times throughout the journey; once on the ship, twice during the flight, once at the RAAF base after they land, and then when they arrive in Darwin.
