If 1 million people get infected in Ireland, I would expect that the fatality rate here will be higher as medical capacity to deal with severe cases will be overwhelmed.

Nonsense the way you are going on you would think Irish hospitals were overcrowded with old people on trollies for days at a time or something.

We are a modern first world country.

At least 50 people have died in one city in Iran of coronavirus since Feb 13 according to the Guardian citing a regional news agency.

Iran feels like it has the secrecy of China without the capability to effectively mobilise once the cat is out of the bag. I'd say they were head in sanding it, and now have themselves a real problem. Holding an election when they're at 50 dead in one city is a big flashing red warning side of head in sand.

a big worry would nurses,doctors have the training to avoid getting the virus when seeing people with the Virus.

At least Singapore have got things under control. Hopefully March is warm but it probably wont be.= going by last year.

So you are saying that the worst case scenario would actually be worse than the worst case scenario outlined in the SBP?
It's all getting inception-y.

The SBP states that Ireland would not have enough intensive care capacity to cope in the event of a large outbreak of coronavirus.

Therefore we should expect that the death rate isn't going to be constant, if we reach the point where the number of severe cases exceeds the intensive care capacity the % will spike.

The rest of the article is behind a paywall so if someone could enlighten us as to whether that was factored into their worst case scenario it would clarify things.

Current indications, early March is gonna be cold

I wonder what this thread will look like next year.

They have started to set up mobile testing in car parks of GPs in the UK. You roll up in the car and fully protected nurses will take s swab if you are worried. Wonder if Ireland will take those measures or any measures ðŸ€”

Like I said, you are suggesting that the worst case scenario is actually worse than the worst case scenario as outlined in the SBP.

I'll simplify it. The worst case scenario is accounting for intensive care capacity. So yet more misinterpreted "facts"

Iran urged to quarantine city immediately

Right, and you couldn't have said that in your first reply?
Instead of quoting the referenced article you started mentioning Hollywood films?

But does that worst case scenario take into account our couple of proper oxygen ventilators?

Pretty much the same as it looks now with an extra 169 pages.:D

If SHTF we may have many treads but like this one they will all stop at page 800.

The real question is how many threads will there be and will they be an active one this time next year?;)

One way or another. Cos either the whole thing will have passed and there'll be as much interest as there currently is in SARS.

Or else...

The only grain of Hope I’d take is that “lawmaker” basically means TD, right? So take the current stats from that source as you would a TD versus their health agency coming clean or the WHO reporting on it.

Iran otherwise sounds like it’s well on its way to a Wuhan style outbreak, government inaction included.

Ha pretty much.

I found a good guide to it here, I don't enjoy the fear mongering to be honest and the guardian are reputable.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/23/what-is-coronavirus-and-what-should-i-do-if-i-have-symptoms

But I reckon this is already here and we will see it over the next few weeks. I don't have any confidence in our government to manage this correctly though.

Anyone still following Beijing's propaganda?

It's funny I don't see any condemnation (not even so much as a questioning) of China from the left in Ireland but you could rest assured that if it was the USA behaving in the same way (which they couldn't) you wouldn't hear the end of it!

If boards.ie policy is to allow fake news in 2020, I will continue to make a mockery of it and the posters here doing it.

I think we would all prefer if you don't post in this thread again.

They had some talking head from the HSE on earlier. The presenter just threw some softball questions at him and his answers where all nothing to see here don't panic type guff. He was saying our health system is more thna ready to cope with this i just laughed out loud.

Daily update from Worldometer

Close Cases = 27,830
Recovered = 25,204 (91%)
Deaths = 2,626 (9%)

The death rate keeps decreasing on a consistent basis as the number of closed cases increases

There are also still 40,310 open cases without an outcome

10000maniacs · 24-02-2020 11:21AM

How did the virus enter Italy? And how many on the airplane that brought in the carrier caught the virus too. Airplane air conditioning is a petri dish for such airborne viruses.

Crematoriums being overloaded for 2000 extra deaths and 'just another flu'?
