Like I say it could be rubbish but I’m unsure what legislation they could use to detain you at a civilian hospital to be honest .

The '1918 Influenza precautionary because I 'kin say so, its either a good thumping sunshine or handcuffed to be bed act' should cover it.

I mean you’d think it’d be insane If they can just walk out but I do wonder what you’d do . As I say it’s not some random Facebook Rumour I know the echo are looking into the story but whether it’s true who knows

Could be the hospital thought, its for your (and our) own good and nobodys that stupid...are they?
But there's alway one...sadly sometimes more than one.

I thought that if you were in quarantine you couldn't just walk out because you have no say in the matter.

A guy on the radio in quarantine said it was voluntary.

But because of the severity of the problem and not being a cockwomble, sitting in a room for 14 days with access to medical care if they were infected, seemed like a relatively correct course of action to save everyone from spreading the disease if any of the repatriated had it.

In sequencing a RNA strand, you use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase (RT), which allows you to go from RNA to DNA (recall that most genes, when making proteins, go from DNA to RNA not vice versa). With RT, you get a copy of the RNA virus in DNA form, called copy-DNA (cDNA). So in sequencing what you'd be actually measuring and sequencing is the cDNA produced by RT from the viral RNA.

^^^^^^I'm pretty sure that's generally correct, though I could be wrong.

More generally, I find it amazing that different combinations of A's, C's, T's, G's direct and specify all life forms and their traits, from eye color we find alluring to viruses that can wipe out half the earth.

So the superbug is merely just a bad chesty cold with few more risks than the common influenza.

What’s the score here then, is this another SARS or are we looking at building bunkers and going all Resident Evil?

Saw a West Midlands ambulance, sirens blazing and lights flashing, zooming towards Arrowe Park hospital half an hour ago - just saying.

Coronavirus seems to have brought the racists to the surface in New Zealand.

Police are investigating a racist email reportedly sent to a parent saying Asian people are spreading viruses and their children should stay home from school.

The email, sent to Stuff by multiple sources, is being widely circulated in the local Chinese community. It was sent to at least one parent with Chinese ancestry whose child or children attend Rolleston School in Canterbury.

It said "our Kiwi kids don't want to be in the same class with your disgusting virus spreaders".

The email was sent in the context of the novel coronavirus outbreak, which originated in Wuhan, China. There have been more than 14,500 cases confirmed globally and at least 305 deaths.

Since the outbreak started, there have been media reports of a New Zealand-born doctor being yelled at to "go back to China", taxi drivers refusing to pick up Chinese tourists, and a Rotorua councillor being racially abused after he spoke out against racism towards Asian people in relation to the virus.

In a statement, a police spokeswoman said police received a report on Sunday about a concerning email regarding coronavirus "received in the Rolleston area".

Police had made contact with the person who reported the email, and were making enquiries to find the sender.

"Unlawful, abusive or threatening behaviour targeting another person or group in relation to coronavirus will not be tolerated," the spokeswoman said.

i wonder if this outbreak has leaked from the Bio lab in Wuhan , the yanks were warning a couple of years a go it wasn't safe in such a built up area after a leak of sars from a lab in beijing ?
seems a bit more plausible than bats in soup ect.
