    That boy has siblings in a school local to me. Parents of pupils in that school got a text to say the school would be remaining open but there could be a risk.

    Scoil olibheir in clonsilla.

    What's the story with paler schools having notions and having their name in Irish. I feel that's more insidious than the corona virus.

    First case in Scotland. Nicola Sturgeon on Sky News live. Some leadership, how bizarre.

    I feel like we will be waiting for the EU to announce a EU wide restrictions and rules on returning from hotspots before our gov lifts a finger.

    Zero chance of any pro active measures being taken

    In a breakdown of it all, Ireland has less than 250 ICU beds (public hospitals only). We have less than 50 isolation rooms that have air filtration systems in place and not enough ventilators in the country to deal with an outbreak of coronavirus.

    What’s th difference between Coronavirus and common Influenza?

    The way it spreads, incubates and puts a strain on hospital resources is what is known so far, it’s early days. Oh and there is a vaccine for flu

    Same with any of the group chats I'm in and last night when I met up with my friends, they were very blasé. I didn't talk too much about it then, as we were having a good night, but when we messaging about it later I sent some links to indicate that it does actually look like it's a serious risk to public health and we should be more cautious to try and prevent its spread.

    I will say that in the toilet of the pub, absolutely nobody was washing their hands.

    I’ve said thus earlier, we are not a very hygiene conscious lot. Was in Riga last June, all public toilets perfectly useable and well used by locals who leave little trace of their visit behind. Was in Bulgaria in September, every single toilet stocked with paper to spare, soap etc. No paper left carelessly on floor. People on the trip remarked at the cleanliness of the locals.

    0.1 death rate for flu.

    2% death rate for Coronavirus.

    That is 20 times more simple maths.

    Edit so they say but we don't have the full picture yet.

    US news is now reporting that America will test a lot more people. Should have been done earlier but expect their numbers to shoot up if spread has been happening since January

    Kids in school in Clonsilla and Glasnevin? That's a bit of a trek

    Its an irish language secondary school, there's not many of them around, before our new one opened in D15 all the kids wanting to continue from gaelscoil had to travel outside the area. There's going to be several gaelscoileanna primary schools with pupils that have siblings in Scoil Caitriona.

    This.

    I was in a restaurant early and went to nigh mó lámha in the Jacks.

    One lad came in, into the stall, flush, pissed flush then walked out without washing. Another lad in slash and out not a drop of water used.

    Then saw the first lad eating his burger 5 minutes later with his faecal covered hands. Brave chap. He didn't look that healthy to start.

    Nigh do lámha! Wash your hands! It's no your Mickey that's the problem. It's the handles, doors, flushes to name a few.

    2% is still massive Wibbs. That's not 'a member of your family will die' but it is 'someone on your street will die' type of number.
    If it turns out to be 2% when this all blows over. It's near guaranteed to be a lower percentage.
    It's not Ebola or MERS, but what those diseases had in mortality, they made up for in being much easier to contain.
    MERS(and SARS) were easier to contain because they were less transmissible, had a shorter and consistent incubation period, no asymptomatic carriers and only became infectious when symptoms occurred. If this Covid had the same mortality rate as MERS(70% of sufferers required intubation) then we would have a societal shift not seen since the Black Death.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    It would be interesting to know the age profile of those that died. Rumours say that China created a virus that would only affect the elderly.

    Dont know about that

    New member here!

    Have read more than a few of the responses here - shocked by the ineptitude/unwillingness of people who won't do some research.

    To address the current mortality rate - 2990 confirmed / 3.4%mortality
    (Nowhere near 2%)

    Please check: (New member - can't post links)
    covid19info.live (Data sources:WHO, CDC etc)

    This number is based on the number of confirmed cases on the day that the patient dies(percentage of).
    Not on the number of confirmed cases on day that the patient was deemed to have been infected or at a later point tested/hospitalised.
    Possible mortality rate higher than the current 3.4%

    This is not the flu.
    Reproduction number, or R0 is most certainly higher than the flu.
    Mortality rate for the flu: While estimates of case-fatality (CF) rates for past influenza pandemics have ranged from about 0.1% (1957 and 1968 pandemics) to 2-3% (1918 pandemic).
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mortality_from_H5N1

    The lack of response from TPTB is shameful and shocking.
    More interested in their stock market and their funny (FIAT) money.
    The financial beast has been on life support for years and this is now the excuse they needed/have been looking for to blame the mother of all crashes on!
    Part of a long existing plan to enact NWO/Global governance. (Not a conspiracy theory but conspiracy fact!)
    This will have devastating effects on the whole world - no joke.

    And as for our own government - shower of ******* the lot of them.
    Minister for Health - doesn't have any health experience (art degree course apparently) (See the childrens hospital fiasco)

    This is a momentus time for all.
    This should be dealt with in a frank and open manner.
    The people responsible should be held legally responsible from here on for their actions.
    Not informing the populace of where the current infectious patient hails from is tantemount to living in the PRoC!!!

    Has anyone any information on coronovirus and pregnancy? I've googled but can't find any HSE advice. Looked at some American and Aussie advice but I'm still unsure whether I'm more at risk or not now and what, if any risk, is posed to my unborn baby (I'd be in a low risk group if I wasn't pregnant anyway). Not hugely worried but I am trying to keep myself informed all the same.

    The HSE have issued some information around it. I haven't read through it but it might be useful.

    Whats possitive so far in britan is that there has been close to 40 confirmed cases but if these 40, only two of these havent been to infection regions in other countries.

    Implies that with proper precautions in place its doesnt spread that fast away from the really contagious sites of wuhan iran and italy.

    Britain have been reporting cases a few weeks now too
