Does anyone not find it odd none of the mainstream media have reported on it, No not the sun,mirror and that rag dublin live......

I would say that most people just want to know if there are any positive results confirmed by the experts in Ireland.

Very few are interested headlines like this but obviously some here on the thread love drama.

As I have said previously, I'm hoping for a recession. Need some emigration to empty out the country so its livable again.

Looks like the numbers infected are stablising. Disappointing.

We need this to seriously impact economic acitivity. Hopefully it ramps up again and the impact gets more spread.

Good jaysus wtf is wrong with you chief.

Is this because you can’t afford to buy a house? You realise that won’t change if we have a recession and you still have a tiny deposit?

Virus Death Rate
Wuhan Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)
2%*

SARS
10%

MERS
34%

Swine Flu
0.02%

Seasonal Flu
<0.01%

These rates are all well and good....but what % of general population end up getting infected (and ultimately what % of general population end up dead) from the virus. This Wuhan virus seems to be much more contagious than the others.... possibly even more so than seasonal flu??

Indo finally carrying the story at 17:33
Passenger who arrived in Dublin from Moscow still in isolation and being tested for coronavirus

Why was it so important for you that it carried the story?

It’s not yet a positive result?

Will you be disappointed if it turns out a negative result?

As I have said in my previous posts, the services in this country do not have the capacity for all the people in it. Roads wedged, luas and trains packed like sardines. Nowhere to rent for a reasonable price, hospitals overcrowded etc.

By the way, I don't have a tiny deposit....

How about you hop on a plane and do some emigrating instead of wishing financial hardship on people? You're way way off topic apart from posting scutter.

I hear there's some English teaching openings in Wuhan that have come available.

From what I'm reading the passengers were sent home and told to stay off work only if they show symptoms...I mean shouldn't they all be quarantined. It spreads before symptoms..zero faith in HSE

Lol, get a grip. if you think Ireland is crowded you've obviously never been anywhere that isnt Ireland.

Why dont you start the process if you want it so much? Fly on over to china and start licking some handrails or something then come home and get on those crowded trams.

If my loved ones weren't in Ireland I'd have been gone long ago. I was much happier living in Ireland years ago when I was on ****e money.

You're way off topic. Perhaps it's the personal issues forum you're looking for.

It’s about the same as SARS. They are from the same family after all.

The mortality rate of SARS was 1 in 10 I think I recall. This is a less deadly virus if figures are to be believed.

Yup. I’m talking about transmission though. Quite similar projected r0 figures.

Good website showing the status of infections etc.

It's only just under doubled since about 5 days ago.

But it's not though? SARS peaked at something like 9k infections.....Wuhan is 14k+ and counting.....or am I missing something??

There isnt certainty that it does spread before symptoms. It turns out that the woman who infected several colleagues in Germany was actually symptomatic and was taking fever reducing medicine at the time of her trip. Not sure why she would lie about that but it seems she did.

Having said that, I dont think you can trust people to self isolate even when they start showing symptoms. I imagine it's easy to convince yourself its just a cold and nothing to worry about and go about your normal life

I find it hard to believe there's any love in the life of a man who is disappointed people aren't dying fast enough to cause a recession to drive house prices down.

Corona virus is not r0 though. More like r2.x

Other differences with Corona compared with SARS is that SARS was transmitted only person did show symptoms. This particular strain of the Corona virus is infectious to others during the patient incubation period prior to them having any symptoms.

Huh?

Who said anything about people dying? I'm just hoping the impact is enough that it causes companies and countries to close borders meaning economic output will suffer.

Again, never mentioned anything about house prices. I said services.

If true that is crazy at this stage. I'd say we will get a positive case here within 7 days at this rate.

I hope I'm wrong.
