        @belfastgal81 @carrolljordan66 1 case. Compare that to 14 cases developing in a hospital in rapid succession. The 14 is way more alarming.

        @belfastgal81 Slow. Compare that with 14 cases in a short amount of time (shorter than ~2 months), and we have a problem here.

        @Spammyjazzhands @fuckoffcoldplay @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Visitors come into hospital when poorly. People don't cover mouth when they cough.

        @Spammyjazzhands @fuckoffcoldplay Not to visit a ward, only if pt was in isolation. Doesn't stop a pt being admitted while incubating flu.
