Coronavirus: Incident team for Scottish threat
To be fair, this looks more serious than Swine Flu etc...

These are absolutely the key points, well-put!I work with a girl whose husband's family are from Wuhan so she has been showing me loads of videos doing the rounds there (anyone seen the one with the person in a box?).
There does need to be a bit of context because Wuhan is a city of 11 million people so if it was completely viral then you'd expect a lot more confirmed cases and more than 26 dead.
It appears China was quite quick on this one, unlike SARS, where they didn't want to spread fear.
Problem is Chinese New Year is usually the biggest migration of people moving around the country which could mean that this is spread across different cities.

Yeah wrong word.These are absolutely the key points, well-put!
Only error, i'd just point out that n-CoV is most definitely "viral" :shamefullyembarrased:
I imagine Australia are having a bit of a squeaky bum time at the moment.But i wish people would stop referring to it as "deadly". The deaths that have occurred have been in those groups who you might expect to succumb to complications from influenza. There is NO WAY (at this stage) that they can infer a mortality rate of 3%!
It is an emergency in China, and specifically Wuhan, but not globally (yet) - as confirmed by WHO yesterday.
There's obviously absolutely nothing going on in the UK at the moment worth covering . The four horsemen are on the horizon while London goes about it's daily stabbing routines without so much of a mention . An outbreak of foot and mouth wouldn't get this coverage.But i wish people would stop referring to it as "deadly".

StruthThree cases now confirmed in Australia.
