Nickrock Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Personally I think the cruise ship wasn't there for quarantine but because the authorities wouldn't let her disembark until outside pressure was applied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazle Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 6 hours ago, Bazle said: A rather disturbing development in the UK. 4 of the people who were brought home from the cruise ship in Japan and put in quarantine in England have tested positive. Why disturbing? Because they had been quarantined on board the ship, AND tested negative before leaving Japan. The TV reports are rather different now. It seems the results of the tests in Japan weren't known until after the individuals had boarded the plane home. All very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murchie Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 UAE have put a travel ban in place to Iran and Thailand for its citizens. Not sure why it's just Thailand and not any other Asian countries. I'm travelling through Dubai on Friday but as the ban is only for UAE citizens I'm hoping everything will be ok.

That is at best only a rough estimate at this point time. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Mortality Rate Last updated: February 18, 11:45 GMT Latest findings: Death Rate by Age and Sex of COVID-19 patients At present, it is tempting to estimate the case fatality rate by dividing the number of known deaths by the number of confirmed cases. The resulting number, however, does not represent the true case fatality rate and might be off by orders of magnitude [...] A precise estimate of the case fatality rate is therefore impossible at present. 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV): estimating the case fatality rate – a word of caution - Battegay Manue et al., Swiss Med Wkly, February 7, 2020 https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/ Edited February 25, 2020 by forcebwithu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 If you go sneezing through LHR, you could end up with an extended stay at the Holiday Inn! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/17/heathrow-hotel-block-booked-as-coronavirus-quarantine-facility "A Holiday Inn at Heathrow airport has been block-booked to be used as a quarantine facility in anticipation of more potential coronavirus cases arriving in the UK. The hotel will be used for those considered at risk but with nowhere else to go, the Department of Health confirmed. This includes space for people to self-isolate if they have been advised to, and to be tested for the virus and await results. Guests booked to stay at the Heathrow Ariel hotel on Bath Road have been transferred to sister hotels." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Just had a look at a couple of Tenerife Facebook groups I follow before a trip. Quite a few people saying they're cancelling their trip, or how to cancel their trip ffs. We're booked to go, but not for nearly a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 One of my wife's Thai mates here in London said her 8 year old mixed race daughter came home from school yesterday near in tears. She told her mum that some other children singled her out and started shouting at her that she had the virus. Would make you think what must the parents be telling them at home, to come out with that at that age. She's taking her daughter to school today and going to speak to the teachers. Fucking horrible 😔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
