First Briton dies:

The latest UK case of coronavirus is the first to be contracted within the country rather than abroad. The man walked into a GP surgery in Surrey, in the south of England, feeling unwell. It came as another patient, who'd been quarantined on a cruise ship in Japan, became the first Briton to die from the illness. The respiratory disease, which causes pneumonia-like symptoms, has infected almost 84,000 people in more than 50 countries.

At least 210 people in Iran have died as a result of the new coronavirus disease, sources in the country's health system have told BBC Persian. Most of the victims are from the capital, Tehran, and the city of Qom, where cases of Covid-19 first emerged. The figure is six times higher than the official death toll of 34 given by the health ministry earlier on Friday. Ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour insisted it was being transparent and accused the BBC of spreading lies. It comes after a member of parliament for Qom accused the authorities of a cover-up and the US expressed concern that they may not be sharing information.

Steven Mosher joins philosopher Stefan Molyneux to unpack the origins, history and spread of China's coronavirus epidemic Who is to blame? What happens now? How should you prepare? Steven Mosher is an internationally recognised authority on China and population issues as well as an acclaimed author and speaker and founder and head of the Population Research Institute. He was the first American social scientist to visit mainland China in 1979 where he witnessed women being forced to have abortion under the new "one-child-policy" which he then exposed to the world. Mr. Mosher was a pro-choice atheist at the time, but witnessing these traumatic abortions led him to reconsider his convictions and to eventually become a practicing, pro-life Roman Catholic. Mosher has appeared numerous times before the US Congress as an expert in world population, China and human Rights abuses. He has also made TV appearances on Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, The Today Show, 20/20, FOX and CNN news, as well as being a regular guest on talk radio shows across the nation. He is the author of the best-selling A Mother's Ordeal: One woman's Fight Against China's One-Child-Policy. His latest book is Bully of Asia, exposing the threat of China to the entire world at this time. Articles by Steve have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Reader’s Digest, The New Republic, The Washington Post, National Review, Reason, The Asian Wall Street Journal, Freedom Review, Linacre Quarterly, Catholic World Report, Human Life Review, First Things, and numerous other publications.

I think that another American has already died in China, and so this person would be the first in America.

Governments are ramping up their moves to contain the coronavirus COVID-19 as it spreads globally. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has called for all public schools to close from next Monday until the end of the spring break in April, as new infections of the virus outside China outnumber those in China. China still has the highest number. Altogether, 50 countries or territories have confirmed cases of the virus. South Korea has again seen its biggest one-day jump in infections, and Saudi Arabia has stopped travel to religious pilgrimage sites due to fears over the virus. In Europe, Italy's outbreak has worsened, while Romania, Denmark and Estonia are the latest countries to confirm cases. And Australia is taking emergency measures to stop the disease spreading. Numerous international flights have been cut back or canceled. Countries around the world are fighting to ward off a pandemic.

For those asking how best to SUPPORT Chris & Peak Prosperity in their efforts to provide continuing coverage of news that matters: https://www.peakprosperity.com/enroll/ Here on leap day 2020 (February 29th) the US records its first coronavirus death on the continent, a 50+ year-old man in Washington State. Cases continue to grow exponentially in South Korea and Italy. Meanwhile, most hospital systems in western countries are woefully unequipped for any large influx of serious respiratory patients. After dragging its feet for seeming forever, the CDC “allows” states to begin testing on their own. Finally, and inexplicably. Through all of this we’ve been consistently telling you that you need to prepare. Now it’s more or less too late. Already many communities are experiencing runs on basic items of food and water. Any preparing you do from here on out needs to be done ultra-responsibly and without any hoarding. From here on out the words are going to be “mitigation” (not containment) and “non-pharmaceutical interventions” or NPIs. That’s a fancy way of saying no large gatherings, no school, and no unnecessary travel or contact. But there’s still time to do a few things so continue do what you can.

Dutch news reports: 1 more case in Belgium (in other words: there are now two cases) and Thailand and Australia have reported a death. The Netherlands confirms 7 cases in under a week (up from 0) and 1 still suspected awaiting final results. The U.S also reports its first death. Red China (PRC) confirms 573 new infections in a single day...

0 Scots with the virus and a few hundred tested so far but testing is really being ramped up going by weekend news.

I think it will be soon.

Hotspot will probably be from Brighton to Surrey in South East England where cases have been caught in those areas

Drive-through coronavirus testing to begin in Scotland

Health boards in Scotland have started to extend testing for coronavirus , including drive-through trials.

NHS Lothian is the latest health board where patients with mild symptoms drive themselves to a contained area of the hospital for testing, enabling them to avoid public transport or walking.

Other areas are running community testing, which allows people to be tested in their own home where appropriate.

The number of people tested for coronavirus in Scotland has risen by more than 100 in a day, with no confirmed cases.

A total of 630 tests had been carried out by Saturday in Scotland, up from 500 on Friday.

All have so far proved negative.

Scots with flu-like symptoms to be tested for coronavirus in GPs and hospitals

Health officials in Scotland are to begin testing some people with flu-like symptoms for coronavirus, even if they have not visited affected areas.

The stepping up of the testing regime has been described as a precautionary measure, but it is thought it could help detection if there is an outbreak in Scotland.

Hospitals and GP surgeries will now begin testing some patients suffering from coughs, fevers and shortness of breath – regardless of whether they have travelled to parts of the world hit by Covid-19.

France cases are now exploding

We are at 100 cases, but there are already hospitals that can't sustain all the suspected patients and that sent back them to home. It's frightening.

The french health system can't deal with a widespread epidemy of Coronavirus. Impossible.
