there is pocket of that on merseyside. move away because you might have coronavirus? absolutely. it is few and far between but i think the underlying fear or concern with coronavirus stem from a lack of information when it first broke and with that gap, we are all human. that gap with information, wherever it comes from, was not misinformation but lack of information that cause people to have these fares and especially on merseyside, once we knew people were being evacuated from wuhan and they we re being evacuated from wuhan and they were at merseyside hospital, five miles away, i have heard all sorts of different opinions... you talk about where they are being florentine. sam, you are a student, what is your experience? —— quarantined. the majority of international student to come from china so have had this discourse where home students are afraid to go to university libraries because they are worried about being infected by the virus, this talk about being worried about spending time with chinese people just in case. a
