Any update on the speculation that it can leave lasting damage in the lungs after recovery?

Some pro cyclists have it and something like that could end their carear.

I’m wondering will I actually get that call in a few days maybe but let’s see.

Guaranteed there’s loads of people walking around wit it no symptoms yet. It’s probably mathematically impossible that there wouldn’t be.
And then we’ll be running after it rather than out in front.

Are you anywhere near the border or know anyone there. You could pop over and ring 111. That might treat it with more urgency.

The thing that's worrying me most right now is the lack of recoveries. Sure they're alive, but after weeks and weeks they're still in danger.

Cases Deaths Recoveries
China (mainland)[c] 79,251 2,835 39,246
South Korea 3,150 17 28
Italy 1,128 29 50
International conveyance[d] 705 6 10
Iran[e] 593 43 123
Japan 241 5 42
Singapore 102 0 72
France 100 2 12
Hong Kong 94 2 33
Germany 79 0 16

I think the lack of recoveries could be down to a lack of testing to confirm its gone.

And would that be because the coroners findings, or your own?

It'll be interesting to see what the Government do with the Dublin St Patrick's Day Parade here. Certainly no need for undue alarm currently given we have no official cases, but I'm sure the HSE will be somewhat concerned given the high number of tourists due to attend the festivities. Some huge decisions to be made over the next few weeks.

There are no plans at present to cancel the parade or festival. Tourism chiefs say they are monitoring the situation but it would probably take the arrival of the virus in Ireland in significant numbers to cancel the parade and festival at such short notice.

I don’t watch much of Trump but it looks like he’s reading and sticking to his script, is that normal? He usually seems off the cuff from the small bit I see if him.

People had a go at me earlier over this. It's crazily scary how he HSE seem to be ignoring this. They're thinking to themselves "Ah he's probably just a bit of a hypochondriac, he's grand". You sound like you have all the symptoms and came from a risk area. This is what terrifies me. People will die trusting what the HSE tell them.

There is no script, he waffling on some amount of ****e. And if there is script, the person who wrote it needs to make sure they took their lunch box out of their school bag so there's no rotten food in there by the time Monday morning comes.

Probably the same thing here.
Keep it all calm by downplaying it and stay quiet except to reinsure how to stay safe.

And in the meantime people are getting infected

Do we get many participating bands or troupes in the parade from europe?? I know there’s loads of America ln high school bands etc

The parade ironically could be that influx of high numbers of infections

I haven't been keeping up with this thread the last couple of days, too busy. But just read a few recent posts.

Can't believe people are saying covid-19 is a common cold.

The common cold is just a type of coronavirus, as is Covid-19. That doesn't make them the same. Bit like saying a hammer is a screwdriver because they're both tools.

Imagine having that man in charge during this crisis. Then again at least he's doing something Leo is hiding in his bunker

It makes sense. It seems the virus may have been in Italy for weeks without anyone even being aware of it. You can't take preventative or containment measures against something you are not aware of.

Yes it's plausible, maybe even likely, but I certainly hope the Italian authorities are not being so blase...

He often gets a script of some sort but regularly scribbles over it with his own notes so it's often pretty useless.

I’m terrified too trying just to keep it optimistic. But I am baffled by their response. I kinda get and understand ‘self isolate and stay there’ is actually a great policy in theory to stop spreading.
But it not fvckin helping me right now or the last few days. My family are all aware and checking up but
If this gets worse an I get really sick I’d absolutely be having words with them later legally.



**if you have private health insurance what the story I wonder?? Can you get checked on your insurance and private clinic or whatever?

That's not the half of it.

Some lad keeps comparing it to cancer, no really.

The government are stifling any replying on the multiple cases being treated here. It reminds me of talking down the economy in 2007, our politicians think we are not able to handle the truth until it's totally undeniable.

I hope the Chief Medical Officer does not enter Irish history as the Financial Regulator did in 2008.
