Coronavirus Part II - Its arrived - We're Doomed!!! See OP for Mod warnings

Beasty

As the first thread is getting towards 10,000 posts this is the follow up to that thread

Any threadbans from the original thread carry over to this one. Please PM to discuss if you do wish to be able to post again

All mod warnings remain in place, and in particular the following are copied from the OP of that first thread

Mod warning 19/02/20

Beasty wrote: »

OK, time to step in with some mod instructions:

1. Please interact in a civil manner
2. Do not tell others what to do, or what to post
3. If you have a problem with a post report it and leave the modding to the mods

In terms of thread content:

4. Treat everything you read here with caution. Anything posted is from an anonymous internet poster. You cannot assume anyone has any "specialist" knowledge whatever they claim
5. Statistics are important to some (and I personally pay a lot of attention to them), but they are of very little use to anyone who is already caught up in this, or indeed knows of people who are caught up
6. Terms such as "sinus", "airborne", "aerosol" have little relevance at this time in this jurisdiction. Ultimately though if cases are discovered in Ireland please pay attention to the relevant authorities and what they advise/recommend, and not some randomer(s) on the internet

All the above is me talking as a complete layman on the subject. Like everything in this thread do not treat it as chapter and verse, beyond paying attention to items 1-3 above

Any questions please PM me - do not try and dissect this post in-thread

Warning added 24/02/20
Last time it was a "suggestion"/request

Now it's an instruction

Stop all the tit for tat stuff on the stats. None of us are in full possession of the facts and none of us can draw any "definitive" conclusions. Bottom line. It's serious. Not serious in Ireland at this stage, but may become so. Anyone caught up in this is not going to take much solace from any stats however they are complied

Any questions PM me - do not respond to this warning in-thread

Now speculate away. Beware of conspiracy theories and treat everything claimed in this thread with suspicion unless someone provides verifiable and reliable sources

Most importantly do not panic, until you are told to do so.....:pac:

How can they say

'' it's only like the flu, the flue kills 600,000 a year'' and say it like it's a good thing?

So should we expect 600,000 or more deaths?

Well to be fair, I heard a report couple of weeks back that the seasonal flu bug has killed 84 people in Ireland this winter alone.

So the question is, why aren't we in a state of panic over the ordinary flu? It kills plenty of people every year, but its not as sexy or news worthy as some mad virus from China, is it?

Still doesn't seem to be huge amounts of information coming from China.

Wuhan is on lock down 5 weeks now, yet cases are still being diagnosed albeit on a lower scale than at the start of all this.

Still nearly 95% of all cases (and deaths) are in China.

Just curious how long they expect the lock down to go on for.

If the Chinese have to annihilate Wuhan to contain this, they will.

If it wasnt so scary it would be impressive.

They also tweeted "its a global health emergency of international concern", that was announced a month ago.

The Pope probably has a cold if his nose is running, but he is in a high-exposure job and a high-risk age group. Just imagine having to convene a conclave of elderly cardinals in the middle of a pandemic!

Yup - you can't claim on your travel insurance unless its an official "do not travel" government notice (I suspect it will be for Milan before they travel FWIW).

I can't remember where I saw it (pretty sure it was a reputable source though) that only 4% of sufferers have upper respiratory tract symptoms, so blowing his nose would suggest it's more likely just a cold? Though the dead ambassador isn't a good sign..

I would think so. Just a coincidence.

So are people fully recovering in 2-3 days?

Honestly I don't know, I thought you're looking at up to 14 days from onset to recovery dependant on severity.

No, not selfish at all. A wonderful decision for both you and your dad. If you are fried, he has nothing

This way, you both win.
