Re: Coronavirus
Not wishing to downplay things, but the media are really going a little hysterical on this one.
In perspective:
SARS virus . . 4 people in the UK were infected, no deaths.
Bird Flu . . no reported infections or deaths
Influenza (sometimes called winter flu) . . an average of 600 UK deaths per year
It's winter, people catch colds & flu, probably more likely if recently returning from warmer/dryer climates.
If you're in the group of 'vulnerable' people, you should already be taking precautions against flu anyway.
just saying like . . .
