The only thing I'm suffering from is media fatigue over this. It's easing in China, and I guess we'll see a drop-off in Asia over the next two or three weeks. It'll follow on to Europe after that. By May or June we'll be fine with it, and a vaccine will be there anyway. Economy will have a jolt because of the scare and knock on effects, but this will settle down as well.

Thanks for the prediction future man. Good to know its all under control!

? It's 12-18mths (min) for a vax, and wave 2 (mutation) might just show up for Autumn (have a gawk at the Spanish Flu). DJIA has it's biggest drop this week since the 2008 crash.

infairness if you look at the numbers, you prob have a better chance of winning the lotto than getting covid here in ireland at the min. And even if you do the vast majority of cases will recover.

Its ok to be cautious but some people are over doing it.

100%. But people on here want the whole country to come to a standstill

How did people ever get by back in the day!

'In my day', in a school year of 153 girls, we had one with asthma. One.

We used to pick chewing gum up off the road and eat it, because my mother wouldn't allow it in the house. I remember hands so dirty the muck on them would crack when you flexed your thumb.

No being followed around with anti-bacterial sprays in those days.

Nah, that's just your silly interpretation

looksee

The spanish flu was mild to start with, then it went away, then it came back in the autumn revived and virulent, and it was that episode that killed millions. Just saying.

Do you think these cases where people are getting it a second time are mutations ? Definitely a women In Japan I think has it for the second time

Thats prob not exciting enough a result for ya joe, imagine it pitters out and is a storm in a tea cup which tbh it most likely will. it has like a 2.% kill rate and most people recover.

It'd ease in Ireland too if they shut down Dublin for 6 weeks and counting.

If you like stats and figures this is a good video. Also some good general tips and advice at end. Below is my interpretation of what he said so watch it yourself and draw your own conclusions if you like.

Early detection appears to be very important for recovery. All “reported“ non critical Patients have survived thus far. He explains what non critical means. Critical patients 50/50 (5%) chance of surviving.

Methods of testing around the world not ideal or completely accurate but there are two potential positives. One is that there has supposedly been a better method invented that may be available soon. Two it also means that a lot of people who have the virus are not diagnosed , while that’s bad in itself, more people potentially infected through bad testing or no testing means that the death and critical rates are potentially far lower.

Put simple, if you know there are 150 people infected, 23 serious and 4 die, the percentages look pretty worrying. If 85% of people (low symptoms) are not being recorded in our 150 tested, it means that the death rate is 4 in 1000 , but we have only tested 150.

I want to stress this is my uneducated guesswork so as always don’t take a random stranger on the internets word for it!

The expert team from the World Health organization found that asymptomatic infection appears to be relatively rare.

So the present figures for mortality etc. can be accepted at face value.

62 countries have now reported cases

The people telling others to calm down is fine, totally fine, good advice. But in the same sentence they then go on to say "it's only a "2% death rate you know" lol

Exactly. Add to that the prevalence of touch screens everywhere, which are almost never disinfected. My friend went to the doctor's in London last week and was told to use a touch screen to check in for her appointment. So there's a global coronavirus pandemic, all this advice about hand gels, masks and staying at home when possible, and someone just trying to see their GP to get some medication is forced to touch a screen touched by God knows how many people with God knows what germs and viruses on their fingers?

It's just baffling, honestly.

I'd just use my sleeve.

absolutely...this whole outbreak has shown me that very many people have pretty bad comprehension of statistics and maths

I need positivity. So all those people who might have annoyed me a week ago, please post a list about why we will be fine.

Go to Gig and Events and join some of the music festival threads, some nice lineups been announced for Body&Soul Festival, Forbidden Fruit, Dun Laoghaire Harbour Festival and All Together Now. Looking at the lineups and the excitement for acts makes you look forward to the summer and I think it helps with taking a break from the Covid thread.

First case of community infection in the U.K. Not surprising really and how we in the Republic of Ireland haven't had a confirmed case yet is amazing.

I think there are cases here but for some reason it is being ignored or suppressed.

What % of people will actually get it the virus? Less than 1%?
