Coronavirus is a UK Patent Virus?

Coronavirus: Just A Nasty Dose of Flu?
How serious is the new coronavirus epidemic? A sense of anxiety is growing in Wuhan as the Chinese city goes into lockdown in an effort to control the spread of a new virus which has left 17 dead. The authorities … Continue reading
Imaginary Threats Everywhere
Velvet Glove Iron Fist: The deadly coronavirus that has infected hundreds of people in China and has now spread to the USA is the biggest global public health threat we have seen for some years. Naturally, therefore, the World Health Organisation spent yesterday putting … Continue reading
