World 'must be on alert' over China virus - WHO

The"whole world needs to be on alert" to fight the coronavirus, the head of the World Health Organization's Health Emergencies Programme has said.

"We are at an important juncture in this event. We believe these chains of transmission can still be interrupted," he said.Image captionWHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who visited China this week, said most people who contracted the virus were suffering only"milder symptoms", but about 20% had severe effects such as pneumonia and respiratory failure.

He described the person-to-person spread of the illness in Germany, Vietnam and Japan as worrying, and said experts would consider it on Thursday when deciding whether to declare a global emergency.The city's residents are enduring an isolated, frightening time. Most forms of traffic have been banned, and 11 million people are shut up in their homes, trying to minimise the spread of the virus.

"We will get through this. Wuhan jiayou, the whole country is supporting you," read one comment on Weibo.

Greta's not happy she's off the front pages! virusemergency coronavirus

Not sure what everyone is whining about? This flu is doing no worse than other flus. Its death rate looks about average and those dieing are the usual victims of flu. Any death is sad, but why so much attention to an illness that is no worse its annual counterparts.

I don't know who? You're the journalists, find out yourselves!

Just don’t develop a vaccine for this, that would just make it worse 🙄

The Real Corona Virus...

Ring around the primrose

😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

WHO doesn't be a pug dog of China doesn't take money from China.

And yet the WHO doesn’t classify it as an emergency yet. They meet today and have only one option in order to spur international govts to tougher actions to try and stop this.

I'm not taking health advice from a rock band.
