British Airways has suspended all flights to and from mainland China

British Airways says it is stopping all service to and from mainland China after the Foreign Office advised against any nonessential travel there

Is Wuhan's mayor being set up to be the fall guy for the virus outbreak?Since the outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus became international news and a national panic across China, with millions placed under lockdown and travel restrictions and screenings put in place across the country, the city's mayor, Zhou Xianwang, has been prominent in state media coverage of the crisis.

Zhou has defended his decision-making somewhat, explaining that he did not know the situation was so serious, but recent findings have suggested that there was evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus earlier than previously claimed, and Hubei has been criticized for not instituting screening until January 14.

He admitted that should they fail to contain the virus, Wuhan officials"might leave a bad name in history," and offered to resign.
