Hi
Look on Social Media.
The kids are playing the game.
They are heroes, been abroad, pretend you are ill and get everyone two weeks off school.
Some expert on tv this morning said that masks won’t stop you getting viruses. They’re supposed to be for those with viruses to wear to stop them infecting others. However, when the mask gets wet from breath or mucus it seeps through and then touching it gets the virus onto hands.
Not really effective either way.
Best not to breathe 
Just what do you want to happen here , …please explain ?
It’s going to spread now . Your area has kids who have been to Italy ,skiing holiday ? So have other areas . So the schools are closing as a precautionary measure ,yes . What next would you like to happen?
The genie’s out of the bottle so to speak ?
Aye,good idea…everyone …hold Your breath and that will solve everything…1,2,3,go. 
Smoke and mirrors, mate …

The novel coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting 43 countries* and territories around the world and 1 international conveyance (the “Diamond Princess” cruise ship harbored in Yokohama, Japan).
- Including 1st case in Greece.
Holidays in my day were to Blackpool or some other UK seaside resort. This poor, impoverished latest generation having to take skiing holidays - my heart bleeds for them. Makes a mockery of their climate change credentials, doesn’t it?
Just wondering if those susceptible to this latest outbreak don’t have anti-flu vaccinations as a matter of course and thereby makes them unable to fight the virus?
Not being an expert on this like our erstwhile R can anyone clarify this?
The advice is to avoid touching the face with your hands. So nosepicking is banned as a health hazard!
My son says there is one in the nearest town
I just want a paper mask not one that looks like I am about to do a spot of welding or remove an asbestos roof .
Can’t believe that all the chemists are completely sold out and there suppliers have none either .
They must have sent them all to China .
Thank heavens, I can now look at other drivers at traffic lights without feeling sick!
What is odd is that the siblings of kids, supposedly in isolation are still going to school etc. They could be carriers.
I’m fed up with it now!
Can we have something else please?

For the first time most new cases are being recorded outside China, where the outbreak originated. The virus has now reached countries as far apart as Greece and Brazil.
:shock:

About 700 people confined to their rooms at a hotel on Spain’s Tenerife island following an outbreak will remain in isolation for 14 days, a regional official says.
I still don’t think that’s a good idea but if “strict” isolation is maintained then the infection may not spread but, if I were a guest then I’d be worried …… :shock:
I hear it’s bubonic plague this time next year!
Why all the panic? Flu is still the out and out killer virus every year and people still go about their usual business without the need for face-masks, shutting schools, going into isolation for 2 weeks, etc.
Not panic. Just common sense. The covid-19 virus is many times more deadly than the flu.
2.2% deaths/100 Vs.
.1 % deaths/100 for the flu

The World Health Organization says the majority of new cases are now outside China.
The first 2 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Pakistan, the country’s health minister confirmed.
North Korea virus free???
Looking at the statistics for virus infections worldwide it seems
that N Korea is totally virus free?
This is a country that has a border with China as well as strong ties
and economic activities between the two countries? So you would
expect there to be at least a few cases reported, but zilch? nada!
Maybe everybody has allready perished from this outbreak and
there is nobody left to report the tragedy?
Very strange imo!
Donkeyman!
Maybe they sent germ warfare. Joking but yeah Donkey it does seem strange.
They’re likely to keep quiet about anything that makes their country look weak.
I wonder if Russia has any over there?
I haven’t heard of any cases in Eastern Europe yet.
Would North Korea admit that they had cases.
Do not think so
