The coronavirus is suddenly big news. It started in a sleepy Chinese city, and now occupies headlines in almost all newspapers. If it gets worse i.e. spreads to other countries, we can expect much bigger headlines.
I'm not sure it really deserves that much attention, it seems to be a fairly isolated outbreak but I remember the sars virus started in much the same way so I guess we should be careful.
..and do those face masks really work? They seem to be normal dress in Japanese cites, and are now widely seen in the press photographs of China, although they will make sure we see the most 'scary' ones.
