    Yes it is over 1% now which gives a pretty good indication of its fatality rate with widespread testing and a good health service.

    Escape from Quarantine failure lol

    A girl jumped out of a coach to escape being quarantined after flying back to China from Germany on March 29.

    The video, filmed in the city of Qingdao in Shandong Province and provided by local media, shows a girl jumping out of a coach with her belongings and attempting to run away.

    However, the coronavirus workers in protective clothings went to chase her and caught her immediately.

    The girl has been forced to quarantine now.

    According to a passenger on the same coach, the girl's temperature was 37.7 C when she boarded the flight in Frankfurt, Germany and did not decrease after she landed Qingdao, China.

    Based on the local regulations, people entering Shandong Province have to be quarantined for 14 days.

    Among those untold millions of distressed people in India trying somehow to get home...


    BBC: Coronavirus: Rescue for Brits stuck in India 'too little, too late'


    There is no register of how many British tourists are in India or abroad elsewhere but the government said globally it could be anywhere between 300,000 and one million.

    Carl Allcott managed to leave India on a German rescue flight on Friday - despite not being German.

    Mr Allcott, 43, from Evesham in Worcestershire, who had been travelling for seven months, said he was "so grateful" to Germany and did not understand why the British government had not acted sooner to help its citizens.

    He said the situation in Delhi was "desperate" with more foreigners arriving in the city, having been kicked out of other parts of India.

    "I was in a hostel and three middle aged British people were brought there by the police," he said.

    "They were found wandering around the streets of Delhi because they had been kicked out of their town in Rajasthan but they couldn't find a hotel because hotels were shutting down.

    "I met foreigners that had stones thrown at them, I met a British lady with her six-year-old daughter and somebody had come up to her and sprayed her in the face with sanitiser."

    Mr Allcott said he was flown to Frankfurt on Friday after going to the German embassy, having read on Facebook that the country was repatriating people. He then flew back to London from Germany.

    He said he heard about British people sleeping on the streets of Delhi and the situation made him feel ashamed to be British.

    Dawn Hardwick, 50, from Leamington Spa, has just returned from India with her six-year-old daughter Rosie, after six days of "hell" trying to get back and after being told to "sort herself out" when she called the British embassy.

    They were put on a German rescue flight on Saturday with about 20 other British people. She has since been trying to help others who were stranded.

    I have been saying for years how shite the British Embassies are at helping Brits. A national disgrace.
