Ooooh I love tables. You wouldn’t have the European numbers to put alongside it, would ya? So, 1st March is our day one and whatever, ie: Spain day announced their first case is written alongside day one. Would be interesting to see the rises in cases like that.

Realistically you’re going to get it anyway. It’s not Ebola. Most people will be fine and won’t even need hospital treatment. I think this is what will happen, we’ll just come to live with it and Will just be a new normal after a while.

And no one will die?

New cases were down yesterday by a fair bit. Today's update (round 5pm) will be interesting.

What has worked so far:


23 February: Italy had done 3000 tests and found 132 positive cases
Lockdown starts for the epicentres, population 50000 people, with police and army check points
That paid off : there were no cases in Codogno yesterday

4 March: approx 2700 positive cases - Italy closes schools and universities - nationwide

That worked in South Korea (although I don't know at which number of cases they took that decision)
Hopefully France and Germany will follow suit

I know it's not much of a choice when you need to get where you're going, but people are choosing to squeeze into rammed buses.

The drivers only drive them, they don't make anyone get on.

Personal responsibility is key - especially going forward, people need to make choices based on what's best for them, and those around them.

The term there is Personal responsibility is core to this.
As a society we are not brilliant at this but we do certainly need to look after ourselves and make sensible decisions.

No one is saying there will be no deaths.

There will be for sure, maybe quite a lot.

But not anywhere near what some doom merchants are saying.

Of course people will die. People die all the time.
Corona may eventually just be another thing you can die from.

and if they do so what ? not like anyones announcing every old person or odd one dying each day worldwide from millions of preventable reasons.


i agree most will get it few casualties but life will move on, stopping everything wont make it go away in this case.

10%-20% of cases need serious/critical hospital care. We don't have the capacity for that on a broad scale. There would be nothing normal about people dying because we don't have the ICU capacity to treat them.

the guy who sits behind me in work is just back from madrid.

someone in the office raised it to the office manager that they were worried about him.

my boss refused to send him home, we go off an alert list from the robert koch institute to decide how bad an area is.

he isn't feeling well

has a doctors appointment at 1pm.

IT'S HAPPENING!

Look him firmly in the eye. Tell him not to be a prick and **** off home.

He is putting a doctor and hundreds of patients at risk.

The 1% figure is likely a way overestimation though.

Can I ask why you think 1% is an overestimate. UK currently at 1.85% and Italy at 4.85%.
Genuinely curious as to reasons you think we are different.
Your mentality really worries me more than the doomsday merchants on here

Plenty examples already that people are not making the right decisions. Even those who would have knowledge in the area.

A teacher at a Cork secondary school is in self-isolation after coming in close contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19.
“The teacher involved has informed the school that he has not tested positive for the virus,” the school said.

Of the 34 cases in Ireland, how many are currently in ICU?

At least 2, I believe.

Those figures are based on known cases. There will be far more cases that are never reported, tested for, or even realised. The rate will be way lower as a result.

But if they are unknown then you can't say what the rate is.

What this crisis shows how vulnerable the west is to a disruption of globalization in business. This or a war can shut down various sectors. It is a mistake to shut down strategic sectors in the country i.e. steel, sugar etc etc. Just remember when the snow stopped deliveries to shops as their warehouses were in one or two locations. We are too reliant on China and outside forces.

So no actual suggestions relating to the few issues that I came up with off the top of my head with your policy just in relation to schools?
Didn’t think so.

It’s very easy to make sweeping statements about what you think we should do - the clever people have to manage the fallout from those decisions.

And if you knew anything about human factors, you’d realise that what worked for the Chinese will not work for us. For all kinds of reasons that have been explored in part on the thread. But you seem to think that martial law is the way forward.

Yes, lets get into a long winded philosophical discussion about the pros and cons of this, lasting several weeks. By which stage we will be in an infinitely worse state because of inaction.

Or we could just act now. You can always get an education. But you only get one chance at living, particularly if you are a grandparent of an infected kid.
