Two coronavirus cases confirmed in UK

Genius. that will stop people.

Oh wait, they can just catch a flight to korea or japan, and then to the UK from there.

If someone wants to get there, short of banning all Chinese people from entry, there is little you can do. (And even if you banned all Chinese people, it wouldn't stop people like me who live in China on a british passport.

I really wish people would stop acting like its the black plague or something.
The only people so far who have died were in some way shape or form immuno-compromised. You WON'T get a fatal flu from playing basketball with Chinese university students, and some of the behaviour i've seen from some people on the internet (such as people saying racist things like "they eat dogs! what did we expect!") is frankly disgusting.
Like if everyone could grow up about this that'd be really cool.

"There are plenty of treatments for flu, we arent living in the dark ages of medicine"- you.
You appear to be confusing flu with coronavirus. There are no cures for either.

Eating bats is fk disgusting no argument, bats are a type of rats if I remember correctly, what sane person will eat a rat?
Don't get me started on eating actual rats which people in China do.

Rats are rodents, bats are an entirely different thing.

Still disgusting to eat a bat, I know people will say "That's subjective" but seriously, there is not even that much meat on a bat and bats are well known to carry many viruses, Ebola started in bats.

If you eat every single breathing thing on this planet it shouldn't be too surprising when **** like this goes down.

A perfectly healthy 36 year old doctor has died so unfortunately that is old news.

Two people have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK, the chief medical officer for England has announced.

Prof Chris Whitty, chief medical officer for England said: "The NHS is extremely well-prepared and used to managing infections and we are already working rapidly to identify any contacts the patients had, to prevent further spread.

i am so annoyed that they escorted them (the brits) to the UK in the first place!!

Picture yourself in this situation.
If you're stuck in a quarantined city, would you not hope for your Government to help you?

For me nope I'd rather be gone... (Plus I could harm others (by spreading the virus)) so it's a win win for myself and others but yeah I do agree with you the idea of being locked out of your own country sounds horrid!!

Oh boy, one since 36 year old doctor whose medical history we don't know of died, sound the alarms! /s
"Perfectly healthy" adults die all the time of sudden cardiac arrest because they actually had an arrhythmia which was never caught because they never got tested. We don't know if this doctor was in perfect health, and even if he was thats 1 confirmed perfectly healthy death out of what? Hundreds at this point?
When people are dropping dead in the street give me a call.

And in the UK we eat dried pigs blood and sheep heart, brains and other organs chopped up and cooked in its own stomach.
So you really don't have an argument in my eyes.
