Oh, it is far more than that. It is barefaced lies and scaremongering.
Here is the latest I can find (not including those from the cruise ship who
are currently being tested for the virus).
“:The UK confirmed one new case of coronavirus on February 12, taking the
total number in the country to nine.
All of the cases are in England, while the latest case was the first to be
recorded in the capital, London.
Eight of the nine people have left hospital having tested negatively twice
for the virus, NHS England said on February 15.”
Now forgive me for being thick, but how can we have 9 confirmed cases, if 8
of the 9 have twice tested negative for it?

There are no deaths from it in Britain, because there are no cases.
What concerns me, is why sudden hotspots of virus are turning up in countries
which the security services would like you to believe are our enemies, Iran
for instance.
If we can prevent Chinese people with the virus from spreading it here,
surely Iran can do likewise?
It is almost as if people are moving around the planet with tiny amounts of
the virus and releasing it into countries the USA/Israel (axis of evil) wants
us to hate.

They are not completely useless. They do keep multinational drug companies in
profit, and they vote Tory.
