Well stuff global warming I've always thought there are far too many people on this planet and nature would resolve the problem,humanity is arrogant regarding its own importance and control of this world.

Is this the apocalypse to cut us down to size or perhaps eradicate us for ever,probably not anyway have a nice day. :hattip

JFK airport are reportedly screening people arriving from certain Chinese flights. Screening how? I don't know, but body temperature is the usual way, but it is very unreliable as the virus may be being incubated without symptoms.

''Fish market in central China'' sounds a bit dodge .

These viruses always seem to come out of Asia and are blamed on close Human contact with animals .

SARS was a similar threat some years back, but never really took off in the UK.

This does need to be kept an eye on.
