Could also be they are catching them early so recovery/deaths has not fully played out yet

Yup, only 34 recovered, 5000+ still active.

If it takes an outbreak of a newly formed virus, for you to see that, I'm at a loss as to what to say...

Very surprised by WHO saying the death rate is 3.4%??? What is this based on? If it was that high surely we would be seeing way more deaths in for example South Korea with 4000 cases and on the cruise ship the death rate is only 1% and that is not even taking into account the older age of the passengers

Circa 90,000 cases and 3,000 deaths. Is that why they're saying that?

Ok rte news.
300+ tests and only one positive.
That has to be a good sign for Ireland surely?

The black death.
Little children working 16 hour days in cotton mills many ending up dead from lung problems.
The USSR Red Terror 60 to 80 million killed.
I million dead in Irish famine.
The Roman Empire going all over Europe killing the men women and children.
The Irish civil war.
The troubles in the North.

80 to 100 million killed in The Great Leap forward under Mao in China.


Yes you are right I miss the good old days.;)

A lot of people just think they are invincible, and many of them are, young with great immune systems and so on. However they may have been exposed to every virus under the sun, will not contract it themselves, but may carry it and pass it on to those less able to withstand it.

The number of people over the years that I have observed not washing hands after toilet visits, before preparing food and so on is unreal.

Washing hands is a very simple thing, and hopefully more will do it now. It might even reduce the REAL flu next winter season, whatever about this C19. Every cloud and all that.

Obviously skewed towards older but 0.4% in people in their 40's is still quite severe, nobody that young would die of flu, much less one in every 200 odd who contract it

Agreed, it will still be severe, and by the looks of it someone in their 50's died in italy, but this isnt something thats going to be killing 2% of all age groups of adults.

Assuming those figures are accurate for the country and assuming there is a strong correlation between deaths and severe cases we will end up with a lot of younger people with mild flu like symptoms who can carry on working infecting older people where the death rate is massively higher. Im not playing down the younger people dying but it will be 1/250 or even 1/500 as opposed to 1/7

Perhaps we should be isolating older people.

3.4% mortality rate for all the 1s saying its just a bad flu, to get even more statistical whats the percentage rate for critically ill? Because i still think when its all said and done the mortality rate will be alot higher than 3.4%

For some it might take something like this to make them see that.

Don't know the figure for critical, but 17pc serious, ie require some level of hospital care.
The hospitals could be full. That's my concern.

I presume you have a reliable source for this. Hope Nazanin Haghari Ratcliffe is included in the prisoners released. But I doubt it.

Simple maths based on these figures.

Literally every news outlet is reporting it. The info has came from the Iran government.

The cruise ship is a pretty decent case study you would think.

The mortality rate there is likely the global mortality rate, we're just not testing enough to track the full scope of those infected.

FFS why do they do this? Is it too much to ask that they just say the actual number!

Don't agree, much older cohort of people, pattern of spread very different from real world.

I am unsure whether to be worried about the Italian Numbers - increase in deaths and infections.

Are Italy tested more people than other countries?

Italy has tested 25.856 people

If he gets a decent lawyer I bet he could get that down to 40 lashes.

Less.

It has got into a hospital / hospice in Italy and is creating absolute carnage apparently.

You can't replicated that on a Cruise Ship.

That's good news : the longer the country can remain in the containment phase, the better

Every day without a new case has to be a bonus.

Good the tossers.

Hopefully south Korea come down on that cult who seemingly were spreading it on purpose, like a tonne of breaks as well.
