This is being blown out of all proportion and the fearmongering and ensuing panic will do much more damage than the virus itself.The best advice would be is to keep calm and carry on and use common sense and wash your hands frequently. The media are not helping at all with all the speculation of mass school closures,sick pay or lack of,the nhs crashing and making out this is the bubonic plague part 2 is very irresponsible!! The bottom line is containing a virus like this is impossible and if you get it you get it and if you don`t you don`t, and by the time a vaccine is developed the virus would have mutated anyway.Things need to continue as normal in the uk for as long as possible,if 10`s of thousands test positive then emergency steps may need to be brought in but until then people should keep calm.
As Essan said in a previous post,a thousand people have been tested positive for cancer today!!
