FIVE Chinese patients are tested for suspected coronavirus in Scotland after returning from Wuhan ...

Four Chinese patients have been taken to hospital in Scotland and tested for the killer coronavirus after returning from China with flu-like symptoms, it can be revealed.

The unidentified patients are thought to be from Wuhan, the city at the heart of the outbreak which has killed 18 people – officials today revealed the first person had died outside of Wuhan's province Hubei. Up to 10,000 patients in the city may already be infected, scientists fear – but only 601 cases have been confirmed. ... Scientists have today revealed the never-before-seen virus can be spread by coughs and sneezes from someone nearby – not just though saliva or close contact such as hugging.

Tests on the four patients in Scotland have so far failed to rule out coronavirus. Three are reportedly being treated in Edinburgh, the other is receiving care at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Passengers from Wuhan last night claimed they were just waved through Heathrow and told to ring NHS 111 if they began to feel ill – despite Government promises of 'enhanced monitoring' of flights out of the Hubei city. ...

Officials in China's capital Beijing today announced major Chinese New Year events have been cancelled because of the virus, which can cause pneumonia and organ failure.

Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Singapore have today confirmed cases, meaning the SARS-like infection has spread to ten countries, including the US – where a patient is reportedly being treated by a robot. Chinese officials have warned it will mutate and become deadlier.

failed to rule out coronavirus

Excuse me, either the Scotland patients have it or they don't. Just tell the truth - they've got it and add Scotland to the map.

But the men will be ugly fat slobs with crooked teeth and skid marked undies who crawl out of their mama’s basements after it’s over with.

The guy doing the video isn’t covered.

What happens when they need a restroom break? What happens at 5 o’clock and they have to ride the bus home?

The nurses who treated the African guy who brought Ebola to the US (not obamy but the other one) got sick. Don’t take chances.

How long does the virus live on robots?
