    The facts and statistics are only adhered to when they have a shock factor apparently :rolleyes::D

    The last update we got said they'd conducted 100 tests over the last month.
    All we can say for certain with numbers like that, is that there's about 100 people in Ireland that didn't have the virus when tested. Some of them may have it now of course.

    If you take any comfort from that level of testing, you're mad

    Runaways haven’t kept up with thread today, how are you feeling?

    Much better thanks! But my housemate got me serious painkillers and I been chewing them :) and drinking loads of water. So..
    Bit goofy to be honest with you but not running the toilet anymore and nothing like as bad as last night so good for now.

    Gave up calling them as a lost cause. Once again told me they were inundated and would call back.

    I won’t hold my breath. (No pun intended)

    Yes would appear so, although I'm hopefully that CFR will reverse downwards as more cases emerge. Daily fatalities outside China are on the rise for sure

    Yes, although on the other hand, it could rise as health systems are swamped.

    I feel that this could be a cataclysm; we may lose a lot of our elderly population.

    Cases are not deaths, some here seem to not quite get that.

    It's a flu. Lots of people will get it, some will die. No different to many times before. Some years the flu kills more than others.

    Yeah no **** sherlock, i was saying if you highlighted every single case and death of it, it would look even more dramatic than Convid-19 the point was the media coverage is making it really dramatic.

    Lads give over. Folks are taking an interest. Nobody scaremongering. It’s information. People are tracking it it’s an unprecedented event. It’s news.

    Sure what would you know anyway?

    You have not spoken to the HSE.:D

    I think you might have better luck waiting for ET to phone home.

    I hope everything works out for you.

    80,000 infected across the world/
    Population of China is 1,400,000,000.
    Population of the World is 7,700,000,000

    I think we'll be okay. Yes it seems to have a slightly higher death rate than the Flu but people freaking out about is mad. The media are absolutely loving this.

    Wish now I got into the hand sanitizer business so gullible fools will buy it at ten times the cost.
