Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Right ON topic. Do you guys feel the least bit hopeful about the breakthrough they made here on the laboratory duplication of the virus?..I've already talked on 2 threads about the significance of this. (have a read back) This will be shared with the WHO and the world where China refuses to. It just may make a huge difference to when we get a vaccine for this scumbag of a thing. How about some optimism!..IT's good for you.

It just goes to show how seriously it's being taken Keezoy, which is reassuring but a vaccine may come too late, it takes months at least to test it. According to reports one in four of those infected develop the severe respiratory illness which can then also affect the organs.29-01-2020, 10:14 PM

All I could find was a report from your Guardian saying that they will be kept in a "secure NHS quarantine facility". No mention of where. Probably understandable.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
I think it's meant to be less deadly than SARS but easier to contract. They say a doctor contracted it through his eyes and unlike SARS it can be contracted before people show symptoms. So that's why I find it scary and why people are so afraid. I'm not afraid for myself but for my elderly mum and SiL's mum as neither would survive it. A BFF's mum died of flu last year as she had leukaemia and her body could not fight it. You can be gone in days with something like this. So I hope they find out exactly how it's spread soon because it's not just coughing more like being in the same room.

They are supposed to be flying back tomorrow.
The news says they will be put in a 'Military Base' for 14 days, but doesn't say where.
I believe a heard a mention of York? But I could be wrong, so don't quote me on that.
