    My thoughts on case numbers in some recent new outbreaks:

    Iran - sudden increase in cases starting 9 days ago, high proportion of deaths from the beginning.
    Prompted Twitter speculation about locally-evolved hypervirulent strain.

    Italy - spike in cases starting 9 days ago, high proportion of deaths and ICU cases from the beginning.

    Today, first death in USA (Seattle, Washington) - a man[edit - Trump & early reports said woman] in her 50s with pre-existing health conditions and no known contact with anyone from affected areas who died in hospital.

    Why are first cases looking unusually severe in these outbreaks?

    We've seen from China that if people are going to deteriorate to the point of needing ICU treatment, that takes 2-3 weeks or more.
    WHO report on China said early treatment gives best outcomes.
    People presenting at hospitals with severe / critical symptoms had much higher death rates.

    If first cases come with high ICU case and death rates, then it's likely infection was already spreading for weeks while authorities were oblivious.
    That means that there will be many more infected with less severe symptoms.

    S Korea has begun mass testing (200K members of cult church are to be tested!), and so confirmed cases are running well ahead of fatalities there, and ICU cases & deaths may be reduced due to early detection.

    There is a confirmed case of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in the Republic of Ireland. They are receiving treatment in hospital. Infection prevention measures are in place. Public Health Specialists are working to identify contacts who need advice and follow-up

    Right, you are now all my enemies and I will loot your corpses to trade supplies and the Apocalypse cafe.

    Ireland first confirmed case ...

    The Journals take on it ...
    THE FIRST CASE of the Covid-19 coronavirus has been confirmed in the Republic of Ireland.

    The Department of Health confirmed this evening that the patient is a male in the eastern part of the country. He is currently receiving medical care.  

    The man is believed to have travelled to Ireland from an area in Italy where coronavirus has been detected. 

    The HSE is now working to identify people who may have come into contact with the patient.

    Best wishes to that person and all who have had contact with them.
    Will there be the deep cleaning that’s going on in the UK and if so who will pay for it?

    Am not surprised in the least about the case here, was inevitable.

    At least we have been told about it, but relatives and so on would have put it out on SM eventually. How times have changed. It works sometimes.

    We as a country think we are just so perfect and every problem will pass us by. It will not and never will.

    Ireland first confirmed case ...

    The Journals take on it ...

    Doctors have said they fully expected an Irish case or cases to emerge soon.

    This doesn't change anything.....they would only become alarmed if it suddenly became dozens or hundreds of cases.

    And they're not going to give information as to where it was. Seriously, they need to just come out and say where it is, where they were and get people who may come in contact to self isolate. Theres a choice of voluntarily locking down places as oppose to having to do it because it's gotten out of hand

    It sure beats this storm (a slight breeze) malarkey.

    This is the second case in Ireland. Not the first, the second. Let’s not be unionist here.
