Sound like dad's army
"Don't panic"
Probably said same on the bloody Titanic.

[trapper]

They’ll only start caring when someone of importance dies

[eddiemagill]

I have simple cure the whole world binge watch Netflix for two weeks then it's gone simple as that

[platinumpsrecords]

I live in Northern Ireland. I don't care to know the person's identity, but I would like to know whereabouts.

[Shikafau]

Maybe make it breaking news when Madagascar gets it.
Thats when we know we are all done for.

Why does his voice shake like someone told him to say something calming or else?

[DoomWalker]

Wouldn't it make sense to prevent people from returning to the UK until we deal with the coronavirus? Why are they letting infected people return? Surely they should be quarantined.

[johnkatz]

Same old nonsense, first they said it doesn’t matter, now they say don’t worry, next they’ll say there’s nothing we can do while thousands die

[Lugzlad]

So I cough into my arm do I get rid of my arm then?

[tim]

Well done Irish government , airline,and Dublin airport, let it in from a affected area in Italy

[guitarstaraces]

Why aren't they naming the infected publicly as a PSA in case someone has been in close contact with them !!!! That surely should be a vital step, If get this this virus I'm gonna be pissed lol

[jacquelinemullan]

Thats all we need in a small Island it will be unknownly be every where in days. WHY did they not take them straight into quarantine for a minium of two weeks straight of the plane, knowly they came from an infected part of Italy. They let them go straight home and went to school on Monday and they where sent home to self quarantine unbelievable. God help us all so there's obviously more cases will pop up.

[alanparker]

It’s all too little too late governments..

[ohnono]

The thing I wanna know is if this does get out of hand, and schools shutdown, what will happen to people taking GCSEs?

[thatguyjimi]

Got to wait for those bonds to mature in July before it's declared a pandemic, until then nobody panic and everything is under control.

[darraghdaly]

My heart is shaking inside
I'm so scared

[adrianmccann]

I knew that some day I'd shift all that hand sanatizer I picked up cheap!.

incorrect spread information: - It is not just large droplet spread - it is airborne spread - aerosolised. Diamond Princess data demonstrates this Check out Dr Campbell's videos for an expert, detailed analysis.

[ayo]

this doctor needs to prescribe himself and chill pill and some anger management courses

They should of stopped people coming into the country weeks and weeks ago. They should not be having football matches going ahead or anything massive like that. If one person has it in a 60 thousand stadium and then 60 thousand go home to all over then it spreads big time and fast. But there not letting on the half of it. This is going to kill millions.
