That's not China.

That's Moore Street after someone is told they have to spend a night in the Mater Hospital under the care of the HSE.

They will be brought to the Mater because it's the first line dedicated isolation unit.
So will anyone else diagnosed in the eastern region until it reaches capacity.

Ah, thanks for confirming. I have no real interest where exactly he is/was treated.

Loving the "east of the country" description. It's like if they don't give any more details it'll be grand.

we've a grand natural border down the middle of the country in the Shannon, is it time to blow the bridges?

Yeah they've had to go to extraordinary lengths.

The HSE has had oh i dunno 20 years to sort the trolley crisis out and you think they can handle this??

I've no idea if they can handle it. Like every poster on here, I don't know enough about it.

But it's absolute nonsense and cheap point scoring to doubt that they've been planning for the arrival of coronavirus over the last few weeks as some posters seem to be doing.

oh now we want to take a look at everything that happened in China. It was a disaster zone, 40,000 medical workers flown in there just think about that.

We will have to put the pressure on our government or we'll get a South Korea on our hands. German and French health ministers threw up their hands after 50 cases, which is not an option according to the WHO.

Spanish Eyes · 29-02-2020 11:36PM

Hey it's Saturday night, most of us trying to relax now and have the craic.

Might be different on Monday (you cannot get sick on the weekend as we know) but we will deal with it.

I disagree with this, verifiable information will be hard to come by and out of date by the time it's verified in a fast moving situation?

Well at least back up any statement with a source. That should slow things down a bit.

It's more that their plan has been crap.

That's not the death rate though. It's not even the reported death rate in Wuhan where they suspect it was inflated anyway because there are thousands of unreported cases. The death rate elsewhere has been much lower.

Yes it's more deadly than flu but can people stop pushing fake numbers because it only encourages panic.

Sorry your wrong:
As of 20 February, 2,114 of the 55,924 laboratory confirmed cases have died (crude fatality ratio [CFR: 3.8%) (note: at least some of whom were identified using a case definition that included pulmonary disease).

That’s for Wuhan.

We don’t yet know how dangerous Covid-19 is, and we won’t know until more data comes in. The mortality rate seems to be about 2%. For comparison, seasonal flu typically has a mortality rate below 1% and is thought to cause about 400,000 deaths each year globally. Sars had a death rate of more than 10%.

That’s from the guardian article about a week old before the Iran death spike.

A lot of garbage being posted on here from rumours of where this case is, rumours of 500k dead from the virus in China to cheap jibes at the HSE.

I can't believe people think the HSE haven't been planning for this for weeks. F**k sake, public health is their job/responsibility. Of course they'll have been planning for something that's been major news for over a month.

I'm not looking forward to all the nonsense over the next few weeks.

Have you not heard the recent interviews by healthcare professionals who state that we do not have the resources to isolate more than a handful of people simultaneously?

Doesnt sound like weeks of planning to me.

Criticism of the HSE is valid.

Really sick of this. That almost all fit and healthy people will recover was never really in doubt. The doubts are for those with manageable illness who would never have otherwise died in a flu season, or frankly anyone over 50. The more you age after that, the more at risk you are. So yeah I'm guessing you're in your 20s or 30s. Nothing to see here. P.S. 21 year old athlete died yesterday.

Fr336 what happened with the 21 yr old? was that the woman Iranium footballer?

Is that supposed to be an update to their briefing an hour ago?
They've literally said nothing different

Phil.x · 29-02-2020 11:39PM

Close all airport's and ports to passengers for 2 months.

Yep. People were told to not leave there apartments. Food was getting delivered to the apartment doors. Tape was stuck to the outside of the doors. If the tape was disturbed then they know people were breaking quarantine. They were given multiple warnings. Like a 3 strike rule. This is what happens when you keep breaking quarantine.

Don't believe anything the WHO says. Their history in relation to SARs, ZIKA etc. has been nothing but lies and scientific fraud.

One poster suggested locking yourself (somehow) in a green wheelie bin which would appear to have some merit.

lol indeed, merit in that case. They wouldn't have found him if the advice had been followed

No need to apologise. From a Guardian article this evening, the mortality rate in Wuhan is around 2% and lower elsewhere (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/29/what-is-coronavirus-what-should-i-do-symptoms). That's at the epicentre of the outbreak.

It would be a dereliction of duty if they weren't planning for it for the last number of weeks. That doesn't mean they can contain an outbreak or stop the spread.

If anyone seriously thinks they were sitting around pretending there was no coronavirus for the last few weeks, they need to take off the tinfoil hat.

smelly sock · 29-02-2020 11:46PM

You'd have to think it best to shut work places amd schools now to contain this thing.
