That’s exactly how viruses traverse the globe.

Viruses tend not to survive very well, unless protected by a fomite. On a hard surface, 24 hours, if its a cloth of some kind, 8 hours, wooden surfaces; 48 hours.
I was slightly surprised that it was as long as that actually. (Based on no expertise whatsoever, obvs).

It’s not just viruses, it’s germs. The 1% Domestos doesn’t kill. Adverts never lie......That’s exactly how viruses traverse the globe.

Only 9 dead at the moment but I've played enough Plague inc. to know how this goes.
Screening to begin in the UK and we're now monitoring flights.

Yup. Panic.
Because that'll help, eh? Or we could all just go about our business and accept that the world is a ridiculously overpopulated place, especially in the developed world, and further accept that disease pandemics are a risk we accept when we decide to live cheek-by-jowl with millions of other citizens, crammed into high density housing, onto public transport, and into large enclosed public spaces.
Easy answer? It'll either come to something, or it will fizzle out. Either way, governments the world over will do all our panicking for us, and research will be done to find a means by which it can be controlled. And your employer will probably insist upon you working as normal, instead of sitting in a fall-out shelter wearing a big yellow suit and breathing air from a pressurised cylinder.
And those "green loonies" we all laughed at when they moved to deepest darkest Wales to live in a house made from an old horse box? The ones who are self sufficient? Yeah, they'll probably be patrolling their boundaries with shotguns and laughing at the rest of us if the s
