Two healthcare workers have tested positive for coronavirus as a GP surgery in Brighton was closed amid fears of the infection spreading.

“We are taking every possible step to control the outbreak of coronavirus. NHS staff and others will now be supported with additional legal powers to keep people safe across the country.”
Certainly hope so. What about the cruise ship?
The CDC will not test Americans for coronavirus, regardless of symptoms, unless they have a history of recent travel to China:

In other news, pneumonia cases go through the roof.

The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic (Killed 50-100 million people) had a case fatality rate of approx 2% vs a typical flu season of 0.1%. Both spread quickly. By comparison, H1N1 swine flu had a low case fatality rate but spread very quickly. SARS had a high case fatality rate of 10% but very little spread. The current 2019nCoV looks like the Spanish flu with a case fatality rate of 2-4% and rapid spreading. A significant number of people who have bad enough disease to necessitate hospitalization (approx 30%) end up in the intensive care unit and require interventions to assist w their breathing.
Conclusion: 2019-nCoV is like Spanish flu. There is a reason to be concerned.
Nearly every person who was alive during the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic has died. Almost 100% death rate attributed to being born on or before 1918.
In other words, treat every day as a blessing and behave accordingly to others because we all have a date to meet with the grim reaper soon, all too soon.

I still don't understand why the CDC can't develop a vaccine against this coronavirus? (unless they're currently working on it?). The best way to stop this threat is to develop a vaccine and offer it to American people - and I imagine most would take it (I know I would in a heartbeat). This isn't 1918 but the 21st century where the medical science of vaccines can change the game and eliminate the threat of viruses. I'm surprised the CDC hasn't gone public and talked about this.

Bet it's partly spreading via the sewage system. Avoid public bathrooms. Search "toilet plume" and SARS. I bet this is how they all got sick at that french chalet from a previous visitor.

This coronavirus threat was first identified less than 2 months ago.
How long do you think it typically takes to develop and mass produce a working vaccine against a new virus threat?

There are still no vaccines for SARS or MERS (or the common cold) which are also coronaviruses, so I doubt there will be a vaccine any time soon.
This is the deal right here man

Talk about easily manipulated. So far 68 deaths this year from flu. Coronavirus 1112.
How will they arrive at the 75000 claimed annual flu deaths when its 1.5 months into the year and there's 68 deaths? Flu pandemic paranoia is the most bogus thing in existence.

There have been over 10,000 flu deaths so far this flu season in the USA, not 68. The 68 deaths were CHILDREN! Also, there have been 1113, deaths from Coronavirus, of which 1068 were in Hubei.
In the United Stated.
Flu: 180,000 hospitalizations, unknown number of infections, 10,000+ deaths
Corovavirus: 13 confirmed cases, unknown number of infections, 0 deaths
You are a F**king IDIOT

If you think there are 10,000+ deaths from the flu so far this year you must be the biggest idiot in the world. I have over a dozen friends and family members working in hospitals around the US. It is a very rare thing indeed to die from a friggin flu. These people are dying of pneumonia and sepsis and they just happen to happen flu-like symptoms...which the CDC can take and count as a flu death. You're an amazing fool. A yuge fool as Trump would say.
If the flu has 10000+ deaths then corona has 3,000,000+ deaths. You're sick.

Wow, you may just be the stupidest person on Earth! The CDC closely monitors flu infections and when someone has the flu, they not only track that they have it, but they test for what strain it is. They don't confuse the flu with pneumonia. If you can read, please look at the link below where you will see that the CDC has all the data on flu infections including when, where, what type and disposition. Having friends that work in hospitals does not make you an expert on epidemiology and infection control. It's amazing that you quote CDC numbers on coronavirus data and deny their numbers on influenza. That is the MO of a true idiot.
Stick to whoppers and fries buddy. You have no clue.

Whoa. Scary stupid you are.
Even in your center-of-propaganda CDC website, it states:
"Based on National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) mortality surveillance data available on February 6, 2020, 7.1% of the deaths occurring during the week ending January 25, 2020 (week 4) were due to P&I. This percentage is below the epidemic threshold of 7.2% for week 4."
Notice the P&I, if you can focus your autistic brain. They do P&I deaths on purpose because that's how they can get much higher numbers. Most of the deaths are from pneumonia you moron.
They're talking about 75 pediatric flu deaths 2019-2020. Pandemic? Are you dumber than an idiot?

LMAO, Now you shifted your answer and you believe the number, but you say they are deaths from pneumonia and not the flu? Nice flipflop, your name sure suits you.
So let me see if I understand your logic, there were not actually 26,000 deaths last year from car accidents because most of those people died from head trauma, or traumatic cardiac arrest, or crush injury. 600,000 people didn't die of cancer, because they fudged the numbers and included people who died from liver failure, kidney failure, sepsis, or respiratory failure?
Pneumonia, secondary to influenza is a real thing and causes people to die. That's how it works dumba$$. That does not mean it's not a flu death. Influenza doesn't kill you, the overwhelming immune response is what kills you and wreaks havoc on your body. The CDC does not included people who die from pneumonia secondary to lung cancer in their influenza numbers, they would include in the cancer death numbers. See how that works moron?
Time to pull your head out and read a book, dipshyt.
