I was passing the new Hubspot building on the docks earlier and I was thinking what is going to happen. Workers haven't even moved in yet. 1400 jobs. Stock down 20% today.

Hoping money will move out of the military and into healthcare as a result of this.

The skies will be clearer as flights fall to very few. The waterways of Venice are much cleaner, it's a city thats struggled will sheer numbers in recent years and this may present an opportunity to reassess thier tourist economy.

Do the maths. 20% of those who get infected need hospitalisation. That's the biggest problem along with it having a death rate of between 10 and 20 times flu.

The two key reasons for social isolation is to reduce both of the above.
60% get it over time. Somewhere around 1 in 8/10 of the whole population end up in hospital at some stage.
We hope to be able to reduce the overall infection rate as well as stretching it out over time.

The 1919 flu caused the peak death rate in Baltimore to be 5 times that of St. Louis, because St. Louis adopted hygiene measures.

It's not 20%. We need to forget about that because we don't know most of the people who actually have it.

I have a mate that in the past few days has come down with flu like symptoms. High fever and a cough. He was away in France on business last week. He's feeling fine now but is isolating for 2 weeks. He never got tested because he's 99% sure he got it.

The key here is to practice good hygene, keep your distance and if you're not feeling well completely isolate yourself.

We need to stop with these percentages, they're impossible to know because we can't possibly test everyone who has it and we're only really testing those with the worst symptoms.

Will we discover that we don't need to buy stuff that we never really needed or indeed wanted but bought to make ourselves feel better for a fleeting moment?

If they disbanded the military and poured every euro thats spent on it into the HSE, it still wouldnt fix the problems with the HSE. Getting rid of the military would be very shortsighted in my opinion

ight i remind people traditional flu kills 500,000 globally per annum and 20 million americans get the regular flu each winter.

the mortality rate is 30 times that of the flu

and a lot more people are set to get this compared to the flu it as it is novel and there is no immunity.

bringing the flu into the conversation is just stupid and makes people sound like Trump and Fox news late February 2020 edition

He needs to get tested as soon as possible. If he does have it, he could deteriorate rapidly even after he starts to feel well again. Isolation time should be up to 40 days for those recovered. He needs to link in to the system so he can be monitored and avail of assistance rapidly if required.
