      See this page for information on coronavirus. Epidemics and pandemics are difficult to predict, and none of us are at the front line of trying to do that. Sorry if you wanted a better answer but it’s best to trust the experts on this, I don’t want to be spreading misinformation on this kind of issue especially.

      It’s difficult to say what kind of effect it might have on us, in the country or worldwide, because it’s such a new virus. And, as Ben says, none of us are really experts on virology or public health, so we probably aren’t the best people to ask. The World Health Organisation has all of the latest information on their website, though: https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus
