Commuter wears GAS MASK amid fears coronavirus could put 10m Brits in hospital

A COMMUTER was spotted wearing a gas mask on the Tube to ward off coronavirus in London - while another wore a PLAGUE doctor costume on the streets of Manchester.

up to 70 per cent of Britons could catch the virus and 15 per cent of those could end up in hospital. Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty said: "It is not yet clear whether they contracted it directly or indirectly from an individual who had recently returned from abroad."The patient has been transferred to a specialist NHS infection centre at Guy's and St Thomas'."Jonathan Ball, professor of molecular virology at the University of Nottingham, said UK transmission was "always a real possibility".

"And it will be crucial to understand where the infection came from to try to prevent more extensive spread.

All the scare stories add to it. Somebody in street of a Northern town coughed over me a couple of days ago and now I have a slight cough and hot..but I didn't have a flu jab either and always get coughs and colds this time of year and asthma. So do I lock away for 2 weeks?

Not a Steampunk fan..?

Complete bull shit from the sun......

Ohh look it's London so it must be newsworthy.

So lets say the numbers start rising & my prediction is they will. When is the line going to be drawn when public workers, those who commute in crowded transport, schools, etc, who are at high risk. When will the public have right to stay home to protect ourselves & loved ones.

Well unless the Mask Filter Medium knows what Pollutant/s and or Virus/s is at issue... wearing it them equates to WHAT? Same said for any other Face or Breathing Mask / Hood! Breathing through a Mask caused/s warmth and dampness /condensation then what occurs? Err.. WHO

Didn’t cover his ears 🤦🏻‍♂️
