That sounds like a Facebook “fact”. You don’t get it by just by being near someone. You have to touch something they have touched (and then touch your mouth/nose/eyes) or they cough or sneeze at you.

Exactly.
How long ago did the Brighton doctor go into isolation, and the practise in Hollingbury close down? Two weeks?
Unless the press is suppressing the news, I would have expected 50% of Brighton to be infected by now reading some of the posts in this thread.

This was originally thought to have originated from animals, got to hope this is their revenge for us screwing them and their habitats. Equalling the balance of nature. # TeamPangolin

Good point and a possible reason for the spread. Yes it's quite normal to kiss men and women on both checks. Only do it in Italy.
I think the virus is only super contagious for a short time. My friend was with the Super Spreader when he contracted it in Singapore (as were a number of folk from Sussex), he only became contagious once he’d arrived in France at his Doctor friend’s chalet where he gave it to pretty much everyone there.

A woman working as a tour bus guide in Japan has tested positive for coronavirus for a second time, in what authorities say is the first such case.
The woman, in her 40s and a resident of Osaka in western Japan, tested positive on Wednesday after developing a sore throat and chest pains, the prefectural government said. She first tested positive on 29 January and was discharged from the hospital after recovering on 1 February, before testing negative on 6 February.
The health ministry confirmed the case was the first in Japan where a patient tested positive for coronavirus for a second time after being discharged from hospital, Japanese media said.

That’ll save hundreds of lives....from the annual crushing I mean
That's basically the same thing, we need to get you on the news pronto!I don't work for the WHO but I have been doing football accumulators for years so appreciate how numbers can rapidly increase.

And meanwhile the Flu has killed how many thousands over the same timeframe. Think overkill has taken over
But he was a super-spreader, and he managed to infect 11 people in total (most only infect 2 others), not 35 people in 5 seconds.

The Stock Market are not liking this, yet another big fall this morning, ....we could be tipped back in to a recession very quickly if this keeps up.

Cheltenham festival now in doubt, going to have a big impact on sporting fixtures through the spring.
Indeed; my pension fund and other holdings have taken a right bashing so far this week and it is still only Thursday A.M.!
No point in panicking, just got to weather the storm and hope for a relatively quick recovery when this wretched virus shows signs of being contained.
