The number of people with the coronavirus in the UK has risen to 456 after a further 83 tested positive for the disease in the last 24 hours.

The number is the biggest daily increase in coronavirus cases in the UK, where six people have died from the illness.

There were 54 new cases recorded in the 24 hours leading up to 9am on Tuesday, and 46 new cases were identified in the 24 hours up to 9am on Monday.

The daily figures have been released by Public Health England.

A drive-through coronavirus test site has opened in Wolverhampton to allow members of the public to check if they have the disease.

The NHS in England is set to "ramp up" facilities nationwide so 10,000 tests can be done each day.

Here, in the U.S., people of an under-culture work in hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants, food stores and other services. They get high with each other, when they’re not at work.

Who was that masked man?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

According to today’s Daily Mail count, SIX people have died. That’s probably fewer than have died of overdoses. The next time a third-world country develops a virus, the first thing that should be done is to ban all travel to and from that country. Putting the entire country under an immediate quarantine would be a strong incentive to get your country into the 21st century.

456 huh?
Keeping it in perspective...
Italy, 10,000 infections, 631 dead.

And the UK has a bigger population than Italy.

And how many of them were under 80 and/or not already sickly?

I was telling my wife that this, if it really hits the whole civilized world, could decimate the health industry. What if it kills all the already weak old people that are cash cows for the medical industry?

The article fires up the hysteria by saying that there is a huge increase in cases. But then they give the con game away, without probably even realizing it.

More tests = more cases found.
