Lecturer Yvonne Griffiths, 71, from Cardiff, said she had been put in a shared flat with four separate rooms, a kitchen and a lobby area, where food and drinks were delivered. "People go [to the lobby] to collect things and also pick up food and some people will stand having their food together, but all wearing masks," she said.Dr Griffiths had been stranded in this hotel in Wuhan before returning to the UK on FridayAnnouncing the investment into stemming the spread of the virus, Mr Hancock said:"Vaccines are our best defence against a host of deadly diseases, including coronavirus.

Just use dettol. It states on the side of the bottle that it kills it

You cannot throw money at this type of problem. Research facilites, scientific staff, health workers, test packets, med facilities, staging & medical teams are NOT abundant in China! They cannot be purchased overnight! ! BBCBreaking

Erm...surely China should be footing the bill?

Melbourne will lead the way as usual.. Australia has many firsts.. how many countries will be developing how many vaccines.. better to send the money here. We were the first to isolate it in the lab.

Thanks and it is the right thing to do.

An amazing step, that's the Government for his people...

What’s the catch

Shouldn't have bothered. Seems people are just taking the piss. Maybe we should just leave the haters to catch it an possibly die. Maybe they will realise the importance of financial support.

racist comments in 3...2...

Wow. That's more than double what the EU has mobilised.

I fervently believe that people who are up to the task are doing their utmost already. Throwing money around as a gesture only impresses a certain kind of person.

I love it! Thank you for helping our fellow humans
