The World Health Organisation is having a meeting tomorrow afternoon, it will be interesting to hear what they say and recommend. Is anyone surprised where the virus came from, what do you expect when you eat raw bats and snakes, the Chinese eat some weird stuff
As per Sky News : First Two cases of new Corona Virus infections Confirmed in U.K. .

I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
And I always thought that wet markets were only found in Ireland.
Makes me appreciate the rain now!
Are we there yet ?
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
Another reason to appreciate Clogher and Jonesboro market's here.
It may be wet and windy .
The authorities may have removed the counterfeit goods you could have bought in the past.
But still we're not locked up in our homes. Well not yet until Brexit kicks in and they attempt to impose a border here again.
That can never be allowed to happen here.
Anyway sorry for going of topic Stephanie.
On the plus side you can always come up to Jonesboro to buy your fireworks for the 4th of July!
Are we there yet ?
More than 14,000 cases confirmed ; over 300 dead .
Thankfully not nearly as high mortality rate as other recent epidemics -now
this one being a Pandemic - , it still has the ability / Capacity to cripple World Economy .
China apologizing for ‘mishandling’ initial information :
Wuhan Doctor who reported first cases in Dec In Wuhan had been chastised and penalized
by the Chinese govt. and Party System - now he too lingers in hospital with same ailment .
This thing jumps from human to human like Flu . Have it mutate to *for example* Ebola
mortality — : what horror movies are made of !
But even so , if it just stays as it is Now , : take out a Third / Half of the world-workforce
on sick-leave !!? = Global meltdown .
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
www.bbc.co.uk/news currently states
"The death toll has now risen to 425 (423 in China), with more than 20,000 confirmed cases in 26 nations around the world."
Talking to Chinese friends here (in Dublin) they say the figures are far worse than their government is reporting.
BBC TV commented earlier that they have serious doubts now about the Chinese figures - The situation is much worse

Eminem becomes the first celebrity to be diagnosed with Coronavirus.
In a statement released by doctors, it has been revealed that his palms were sweaty, knees weak and arms were heavy.. He presented with vomit on his sweater already.. Initial testing has revealed it was mums spaghetti..
The doctors continued to add:
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready, but he simply keeps on forgetting.
They added he could make a full recovery but also said: He better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him.
The doctors have said they have a small window of opportunity to cure Eminem, to which Eminem replied saying:
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.
Doctors finished by saying: Let’s hope he’s cured with one shot.
More as we have it.
