TB's cull has started 
explains his absence for 2 weeks ,jet setting doing deliveries 
note his hate for Ebay china corresponds with most reported cases 
coincidence

True,but that would be the case wherever they're quarantined so why not just quarantine them in China as opposed to flying them all over the world potentially spreading the virus even further/quicker?

Yeah, I agree with you. I was just reinforcing your original post.

Jaime's cull involves guns and bullets and nooses. Lots of them. No good pissing about with a virus that may, or may not, kill you.

Ah,my apologies for mis-interpreting your post

The crew are Spanish. Ergo, they clearly survived Spanish Flu so are probably immune

They landed them at Brize Norton then coached them half the length of the country to the Wirral.Why not quarantine them closer to Brize Norton or land them closer to their destination?Showed the coaches setting off on the news this morning,one which can clearly be seen has someone on the passenger side and slightly behind the driver[first passenger seat?]dressed in what appears to be hazmat gear while the driver is wearing probably company uniform and not even a mask

[Doctor Gollum]

It's OK, the drivers agreed to do it, and once back they would be paid for ten days holiday (2weeks off with rest days) and the coaches would be deep cleaned and also quarantined for two weeks.

Bro and SIL are on a cruise from Dubai to Hong Kong, and have already been told that they won't be stopping there. Be interesting to see where they do end up, as they were supposed to be there for a week afterwards

They were originally going to land at John Lennon International (Liverpool) but the Spanish Airline demanded a gaurantee from the UK government that the aircraft would still have all its wheels at the planned time of departure.........

Only so that they have it ready to bring all the expats home... Which needs to be finished before Norwegian restart their summer long haul schedule with all the Boeing Dreamgliders* they have in stock.

*WAMOS pick up most of the shortfall in the Rolls Royce powered Norwegian B787 fleet.

Now that the death toll on mainland China has topped 1,000 it's been reported that they've "removed" an unspecified number of officials.Given the way the Chinese tend to "remove" people I don't reckon much to their future job prospects

The extra 2,500 people diagnosed each day in China are all in the same high rise block. Each block they test, they find every person has it and some have died. Probably cleansing Wuhan block by block. Give it another week or so and the recovery numbers will start to increase markedly. Already the cured numbers are four times more than the fatalities, and over half the number of those critical...

 Are the Chinese using the ancient German form of block cleansing.  Similar to how they sack Government officials who fook up

Death toll of those that have had it, in China, and are now well again seems to be running at about 1% so no where as dangerous as SARS where the death toll was 14-15% with it running at over 50% in the over 65s. As of yesterday the numbers in China are: 40171 confirmed cases and 187,518 under medical observation. The daily infection rates in China are dropping from a peak of over 3,000 to under that yesterday.

The UK person that caught it, at a conference, in Singapore, a super spreader, then went on holiday to France and then back in Brighton who has given it to a few more people including 2 GPs. I will be surprised if we don't now have a pandemic in the UK where it spreads very easily as an airborne virus by somebody before they know they have got it!

For the majority it will be a mild illness but a percentage will get viral pneumonia and 1% will die. This will be mainly older people with other medical conditions. The key to survival with pneumonia is getting treatment early, if you don't you can't be saved. My wife has had pneumonia several times and she has been to her GP and then hospital treatment, another person I know who left it late was told by the doctors that if he had left it another 24 hours they would have not been able to save him where he spend 2 weeks in our local hospital in an isolation room having treatment. When I went to see him I have to dress into a paper protection suit, hair cover and mask to see him.
