How far will coronavirus spread?

The number of confirmed cases and deaths from COVID-19 are rising - although it seems its at a slower rate than before.

Sky's science correspondent Thomas Moore has been taking a look at the numbers to determine what it means for the future spread of the virus.

This needs to be sorted out quickly and fast before it gets worse.

For once living in the middle of absolutely nowhere pays off 😂

Well that was a waste of 1 min, 27 seconds of my life. I'm still none the wiser !

It looks like it's spread globally already. This pandemic is scary.

[HappyHourWithMatt]

It started off slow in China too. Now look....

[Deadsoul]

For all we know it’s already here and we have no idea.

[TreforTreforgan]

How are we meant to trust a news source that doesn’t know where Manchester and Liverpool are on the map?

Shut the UK border down already.
Why are they letting this happen already?

“The level has stabilized for now”

[aligaming]

I imagine no ''elites'' are going to be affected

[great]

Total confirmed cases just jumped from about 43k to over 60k today!!!

[zachfajardo]

It's not projected to peak until may and the infection rare seems to double every few days. This is insane

[lukehalstead]

Who's here after there were 15, 000 new cases

[Mike_]

it is very important for UK residents to remember the SARS outbreak in 2003 which is a very closely aligned virus and remain calm

Here in Uk my city or Town was choosen by the government for keeping the citizens returning from the virus zone area in china for isolation/ treatment and 14 days monitoring this choice came as bomb to many of us with out consultations with our council or the we as people, this centre is the in middle families homes schools and parks is very scary many are panicking with fears as iam writing

What's really wierd is I was so ill at Christmas, I kept saying is it a new virus going round, it was all symptoms, wonder if I had it already, here in uk

[SparrowIZ]
