medscape WHO DrTedros Is the burden of 2019nCoV coronarivirus on UK more than influenza flu since Dec 2019?! Giving the news importance more than necessary and making it more sensational is only causing more panic, more distress, affecting jobs and economy!

Medscape WHO DrTedros Is this health campaign necessary to be focused on just 2019nCoV coronavirus?! How different would it be for influenza flu or any other viruses?! Should people in the world not be reminded about these safety measures every now & then?

Public health campaign? Wash your hands it’s simple there done

A bit bloody late especially given they are flying in potentially disease ridden people into the country!

I thought I read they were going to a military facility? 🤔 ‘The 83 Britons already at Arrowe Park Hospital are spending 14 days in quarantine - but not solitary confinement - in two apartment blocks normally used to house nurses, who have been moved to local hotels.’..

Is there any particular advice for those of us with underlying conditions and weakened immune systems?

More lies and obfuscation

is that it then-some bugger will make a packet out of this.

Johnson will save us all from those nasty bugs that have travelled here from the EU..... I'm sure we will soon see films of Francois in a mask on Brighton beach......waving his hands as the sun rises... Maybe marr will cover it for some sensible political analysis...

Oh do stop this silliness. The apocalypses you promised us with Brexit, swine flu, bird flu and ebola all failed to materialise so now you are trying this nonsense again.

A 44-year old Chinese male has died of pneumonia. He was the 2nd 2019-nCoV ARD positive case in the Philippines and the 1st death outside of China. The country has temporarily banned foreign travelers from China, Hong Kong and Macau. - Department of Health

Isn't this bit to late ! After the horse has bolted 🤔

If they were not on campus, just curious as to where they went first when feeling sick. Straight to A&E? local doctors? Health clinic on campus?

Coronavirus: justice league launches public health campaign

They aren't even being quarantined in the UK, they are all mixing together, going outside for walks and staff are in and out the building.

So they know its going to be a countrywide epedemic and are slowly gearing up..... To do not much... Glad I don't work for the NHS.

great and I guess we are also to stick are tooth brush in a toilet paper roll too

If only people would quit sneezing in to hands, and wash continuously.

They can't even tell the truth about brexit. Laughable.

What about Brexit? Surely that's more important than the Coronavirus? (It's not actually) I am so flaming annoyed at you're news outlet being pro Boris Johnson and ruining Doctor Who
