    20% of open cases critical that is not good for sure.
    How will that 20% do as hospitals become overwhelmed?

    These lock down conditions cannot be implemented everywhere, once we accept that we have moved beyond the containment phase, right?

    It was once mooted the eating liquorish would relieve M.E and we are highly motivated .. sadly a few died of liver/kidney failure eating too much .

    I know it's nothing to do with Covid-19 but source please.

    Over ingestion of liquorice can cause blood pressure issues and irregular heart beat. It's only known to affect kidneys in those already suffering from kidney disease. I'm not aware of anything but claimed beneficial impacts on liver.

    I love all your references to "we". Do you speak for a group?

    Italy lived in a bubble until 3 days ago, they said the virus wasn't there and the risk to get it was 0%
    Denial is our biggest problem, people should start now to take preconditions instead of later

    You're right about them being unwell though. He has a bad pneumonia which is worrying, his wife has pneumonia as well but is not as poorly as he is.

    This thread can be quite unpleasant bytimes with some (often surprising) posters sticking their oar in to make really nasty swipes at an 80 year old woman in poor health. Use your fcuking ignore button rather than lower yerselves, ye gobshytes.

    Not according to their son on the BBC last night. They are in hospital but not 'in a bad way'.

    Doctor of immunology from the Mater was on the radio the other day. They have a quarantine ward all set up - with 6 beds. :rolleyes:

    Quoting this old post to put some perspective on things. If what happened in Italy over the last few days had happened in Ireland instead, this is what facilities we would have to deal with it.

    To put it bluntly, we’d be proper fooked!

    Viruses are amazing though, without them we could not live.

    They break down bacteria and release the carbon back in to the ecosystem.

    People question if they are alive; I've always thought that they are a part of life. The definition of life can never be applied to an individual thing, only its role in the superstructure of life itself.

    If the disease becomes widespread would it be logical to seek exposure and treatment before medical capability is overwhelmed ?

    People are dying in theirs 30s too, as for the underlying condition, that means anything including a normal flue that has affected your immune system. You don't have to be an elderly on death doorstep to be at risk

    Knock it off. Yes I know of two cases of people in their 30's - both were doctors in China treating people with the disease. The vast majority of fatalities are in the old and ill category, and I am sure you probably know it.

    I’m going to Dubai next week, having doubts about it but it seems well contained there.

    WHO are absolutely woeful. These last few weeks are an example of why they should be disbanded or restructed.

    Agree. but what to do? I guess avoiding public transport comletely, not shaking hands anymore with anybody (easy excuse here saying you have a bad cold) and avoiding events/places with many people in close contact. bit miserable life though...
