Only in communist China can body's be left in the streets to rot

2% mortality rate 🙄 Media hype 💯

In the week we remember 75 years from the Holocaust - seeing harrowing pictures of the dead in the streets!

Lying dead in the street won't count as coronavirus death toll. Bodies are sent to cremation at once no matter what.

Three Japanese citizens evacuated from Wuhan POSITIVE for coronavirusTwo of the Japanese nationals didn't show symptoms when they landed in Tokyo. A medic in a face mask, eye protection and gloves picks up suspected patients after they landed. Can't believe Gatwick airport still are not screening passengers coming from China and no flight restrictions. So frightening. My sister used to work in A & E and I'm so glad she isn't right now. For reasons of Coronavirus and the thousands of people with colds & flu turning up at hospital thinking they have the deadly virus. Have heard about this before, so anyone coming from this area or in contact with folks from this area should be quarantined regardless, because symptom free is NOT a sign of being virus free!
