Considering the 14 day incubation period I think that is bad advice, It can become contagious before the victim feels the effects.

This is good advice from Singapore.

If you have no symptoms, the mask is not that helpful because you will not be coughing or sneezing. Main purpose of the mask is it blocks particles from sneezes and coughs travelling.

Wearing a mask for too long is unhygienic.

Wash your hands well every hour. Dont touch your face at all, unless just after washing hands.

Stay a good distance from people coughing and sneezing.

Sneeze, cough into tissues and throw them away. Wash hands after any sneezing and coughing.

Masks give a false sense of security.

He's good, but to be perfectly honest I find him sluggish to watch. To the degree I tend to hit fast forward or mumble "get on with it man!!!" to myself. His 20 minute vids could be cut down to five and impart exactly the same info.

Interesting guy. I think he's a teacher in Asia and Africa as a side gig?

He quoted a study using similar viruses, that found in the right conditions, they could survive up to 28 days. Since that sort of information isn't available for this virus, it is merely possible but certainly not definite. That's assuming that it's not too hot, not too cold, metal surface, undisturbed etc.

I don't find him sluggish at all. Despite the topic, I find the videos interesting and almost relaxing to watch! Maybe I'm just weird

Tbh, a man of his age and most probably health shouldn't have died from it imo.

How was his health?

Yes, but he was comparing to SARS as it's similar and they know SARS can survive from 6-28 days on a surface. So yeah.

There’s an Irish couple on that quarantined cruise ship.

A 16-year-old girl outside Hanoi caught it from a family member who had been in Wuhan and got sick. HCM and much of central Vietnam have said no school again next week. I predict it will be the same in Hanoi.

If I read the report correctly, the two cases are 27 and 41 year old males, no mention of other health conditions. Concerning.

Against that, 25 are stable or improving, and one has been discharged.

'"Of the earlier confirmed cases, MOH said that two patients' conditions have worsened; with one in critical condition in intensive care unit. Another requires additional oxygen support. "
I believe ICU means critical conditiion and oxygen support is serious

Imagine the amount of shagging they'd be at passing the time.

charlietheminxx · 06-02-2020 05:08PM

I've heard that one of the cases in Ireland has tested positive, but that the HSE don't want to go public and cause panic. I take these things with a pinch of salt so not sure if it's true or not...

Third UK patient contracted Ncov outside China. That is an alarming number of new cases today who contracted it with no travel history to China

Fr_Dougal · 06-02-2020 05:10PM

Mass quarantine camps for Wuhan: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/world/asia/coronavirus-china.html

That’s not a good sign.

Hmmm, that's bad. Singapore has an excellent health care and is hot and humid.

Im curious

To the people who normally order Chinese takeaways.

Has this put you off ordering a Chinese takeaway?

I usually got one on the weekends but I haven't ordered one since I found out about this virus.

Yes, but only after reading extensively on the wet markets and the huge volume of ****e they eat over there.

Has me really wondering about the quality. Disgusting

ardinn · 06-02-2020 05:16PM

I stayed off twitter for a few days as I couldnt keep looking at whats going on - went back on today and instantly regretted it.

The chinese are turning stadiums and halls into what only can be described as death camps - dragging people out of their homes and bringing them to said camps - putting people walking on the street into boxes on the back of pickup trucks - thats a nasty video! the absolute terror over there is tragic.

Morgues and crematoriums reporting 100 bodies a day, dont have the manpower to even lift them and have no body bags.

Videos now surfacing of apartments being opened and bodies of everyone inside.

Not sure how real it is but 1 kid jumped out his window after calling for assistance for one of his parents - from a height - but that one may be fake.

This is not good, people should be taking real precautions at this stage even over here.

Hmmm, it's possible that they are in ICU for mundane reasons tbh. https://www.regencymedicalcentre.com/patients-in-the-intensive-care-unit/ It's less intensive care sometimes and more being watched by more proffesional doctors, which I imagine a novel virus is becuase it's new.

Taiwan freaks me out more. They are an independent country and they do not seem to be getting support from the WHO

I know that and I know food safety standards here are maintained high by the FSAI. But it is in my mind.

They tried to bury the story about the guy who broke his neck after falling off a trolley in the A&E in UHL. I found "legal removals" of it on a couple of newspaper sites before one dug their heels in and it went properly public.

This is evidence of recent suppression of news about what happens in hospitals in Ireland for political purposes. Therefore I believe they might suppress news about people infected with Coronavirus here until after the election.

From RTE:
Coronavirus Protection Packs to be sent to GPS and Clinics

Among what it says it’s this:

“”””Interim Director of the Health Protection Surveillance Centre Dr John Cuddihy said the ability of the virus to transmit from person to person is limited””””

Can’t believe he’s just said that!
