    According to Daily Mail. Two Chinese tourists who were staying at StayCity Hotel near the Barbican in York have tested positive for Coronavirus. A bit worrying.

    I continue to find it worrying that people read the Daily Mail.

    Not really. Apparently you're more likely to catch the seasonal flu virus and they're both equally as deadly. Fatality rate for coronavirus is 2%

    Lots of Chinese tourists in every major British city. Top tip, don’t travel to any of them, at least for a bit

    Our information on mortality rates comes from China, and they don't exactly have a reputation for being honest and open about this kind of stuff. I hope you're right, but based on the incubation period it may prove very difficult to contain

    Common cold can kill you if you develop Bronchitis then Pneumonia. I think the key is getting it effectively treated.

    But this coronavirus spreads much more rapidly and targets older men. You should be worried.
