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.

Yeah, you're miles off the mark on this one. Its a 30+ yrs old gaelscoil.

A constant on the thread tbh but unfortunately it's indicative of the society we live in.

If it turns out to be 2% when this all blows over. It's near guaranteed to be a lower percentage.

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.

It actually looks rather likely to be in the 2% range. 1% of affected passengers on the ship have already died, with dozens of others sitll in serious or critical condition and hundreds of others still going through the stages of illness. Yes they are older age on average so it would be taken into account and revised down but WHO believe there arent a large number of mild cases going undetected worldwide so some of the worldwide reported mortality rates may be reasonably accurate.

Broke out the latex gloves today and yesterday when out and about. Much handier than sanitising hands every few minutes. Also made me much more conscious about touching my face. Found some packs of FFP3 masks that I had bought a few weeks ago and will drop them to parents/parents in law. I'm not in a vulnerable group, so I don't need them really and would rather they go to use! For now, using gloves seems to be the handiest for me.

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, flushed again 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.

Nox will be along shortly to say washing your hands after a ****e is overkill and you only need to give yourself a good scrub at the weekend.

What’s th difference between Coronavirus and common Influenza?

They actually don’t know yet as it’s not clear.

They only thing I’ve seen is the transmission rate. I read that with Influenza the transmitting rate is 1:1 ( 1 person with flu passes it to 1 more person)

COVID19 seems to be 1: 2-3 ( 1 person passes it to 2 to 3 people)

In Lidl this evening
No pasta
No jam
Breakfast cereal almost gone
No tinned foods
No disinfectant
Toilet paper almost gone.

We usually shop on Sundays in this lidl, empty shelves like that is not normal. Haven't seen that since the beast from the East.

Yes I noticed all the Lidl own-label porridge was gone in Greystones on Thursday. Likewise all their pasta.
A man in front of me bought about 30 boxes of their value tissues (the ones in a box), lots of loo roll, kitchen roll - and 4 cans of beer.
The half-price toilet paper was sold out around 10.30 - usually a special offer like that would still be available in the afternoon.
UHT milk was all gone in Greystones on Thursday, but still available in Bray today - they don't stock an awful lot of it, so I guess there may be one or two Greystones customers who are stocking up. I buy it regularly.

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!!!

we should put out an SOS for the EU to save us from FG

He’s not a practising doctor. I’d rather the HSE issue the advice to be honest. Your post just seems like a Journal comment grade attempt to have a pop at Varadkar.

Eh? Surely gloves will pick up germs/viruses from surfaces the same as bare hands?

We can hope. 2% is a big deal, and it is the overall consistent number at the moment. Remember that most people infected haven't yet had an opportunity to die, so it is hard to work out how many cases will end up either dead or cured.

AIDS had something like a 95% fatality rate, but is one of the easiest viruses to contain.

Gloves are pointless as soon as you touch anything infected, unless you keep changing them very few minutes?

whiskeyman · 01-03-2020 10:07PM

RTE at least saying it was a male student and alluded to fact that the name of the school is available on social media!

expectationlost · 01-03-2020 10:07PM

so how long after re-entering the country did this person self-isolate/contact authorities? (not saying the person knew they had it)
