Coronavirus Tracking Site
Coronavirus Tracking Site

There will be concern with local news reports of "suspected" cases of coronavirus, but rapid diagnosis is apparently difficult at the moment and so it may be helpful to keep an eye on clinically confirmed cases.
This link is from the John Hopkins University in Baltimore and is a clearing house for clinically confirmed cases, from hospitals and government health departments around the world.
It's updated very regularly and presently shows, in Europe, two clusters of four cases, in France and Germany and with no deaths reported. It's also interesting to note that there are almost as many people recovering from it as there are dying from it.

Unfortunately, the map seems to show cases as being in the capital cities of the countries where they were reported (except in China where they are regional capitals). This doesn’t make it easy for people who have travelled to these countries to get a feeling for how likely it is that they have been exposed to the virus.

Just because u can study where cases might be, doesn’t decide if you do or don’t catch it. Unless, if you hear it’s local and you padlock yourself in your own Anderson shelter for a year, you are still going to mix with people out on streets and in bars. What will be will be. Just read up on how to treat the symptoms if and when you get them.

Yes, a blocked flue can cause an increase in Carbon Monoxide.

Worldwide, around 600,000 people die from influenza annually
It’s far more of a threat and yet still too many ignore the advice to get vaccinated
Generally, it’s due to myths and hearsay about the risks associated with the vaccine

I’ve just returned from Thailand' which is a very popular holiday location for Chinese people, especially during Chinese New Year.
Most of my time was spent in Phuket, with a couple of days in Bangkok at the end. According to the tracking site, all of the recode cases in Thailand are in Bangkok, but this conflicts with what was being reported locally in the newspapers and on local TV.
Presumably, all of the cases are shown as being in Bangkok because that’s where the people were taken for treatment, or that’s where the cases were reported to the WHO from.
From my perspective, I’d find it much more helpful to know if there we’re reported cases in Phuket rather than having them all tagged as having occurred in Bangkok.
I agree that there are much deadlier things around than Coronavirus, but those things still exist - Coronavirus is just an extra thing that can kill you in addition to all the others out there.
