It's definitely news. It's potentially the biggest story in the world at the moment.

People probably should worry, to be honest. No bad thing if it makes people wash their hands properly, cover their mouths when sneezing and coughing etc.

If it comes out that they have it then fair enough

From the BBC.

Four people who have recently travelled from Wuhan to Scotland are being treated as suspected cases of coronavirus.

The head of infection medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Professor Jurgen Haas, said all four had respiratory symptoms and had been in Wuhan within the last 14 days.

It is believed that three patients are in Edinburgh and the fourth is in Glasgow. It is likely to be several days before tests will confirm whether the four have contracted coronavirus or not.

Prof Juergen told the BBC it was "very likely" that cases would be confirmed in the UK.

To be honest, dying from an exotic virus sounds more appealing than living under Tory rule in an independent UK. I'm far more worried about the latter than I am the former, and the news do a terrible job of covering the latter.

So we are living under the jackboot heel of the EU at the moment...

I'd say it's a certainty.

ETA: How long does this thing take to incubate?

These stories about places in China you've never heard of are great for throwing up pieces of information like "*insert name of random Chinese city* has a population of 11 million people"

Fucking hell!

Its a bit scary, apparently over 100 cities with more than a million people and a few mega cities.
Have they not got TV?

Haas said: “We have currently three cases of suspected Wuhan coronavirus in Edinburgh and, as far as I understand, one case in Glasgow.”

 

He said the cases emerged overnight, adding: “The situation will be pretty similar in pretty much all UK cities with a large number of Chinese students. It’s not too surprising. My suspicious is that there will probably be many more cases in many other cities in the UK.

 

“None of the cases I know of have been confirmed,” he added.

And so it begins.........28 Days Later.

 

I predict that the share price of Gnome Facemask Co LLC will go through the roof in the coming days........

Take out the all Forth / Kincardine bridges, block the A9 at Stirling and arm the castle (& Roman forts just to be sure).

Enough of this substitute Irn-Bru, soured Graham's milk and coronavirus p*sh.
