Seems like Singapore is dealing with the outbreak pretty well. They are even bringing the number who are in a serious condition down without as yet any fatalities.

Wow information they release is very specific. Work and street address of one case

I just took the official data on Italy from wikipedia, popped it into google sheets and plotted an exponential trendline with it.

Scary stuff

If unchecked, Italy could have 10,000 cases within 5 days.
They could be at China's level of 80,000 cases in 11 days.
250,000 in 14 days.
1,000,000 cases in 18 days.

Why is it any of your business?

In other non-news, a senior politician has been named in a newspaper as having two children going to the school. Disgraceful behaviour by the journalists. Those kids don't deserve the publicity.

The sheer lack of respect for others' privacy is mind-blowing.

I honestly dont see the use of even knowing this information, its of no use what so ever to the average joe.Outside of people that just want o have a good jaw wag

I heard that show and thought Ciara Kelly was very balanced and reasonable. She was basically just giving the facts. For most people it will just be a very bad flu. For a % it will be very serious. She didn’t contradict herself at all.

The facts are different to the flu but it’s still very comparable.

Singapore seems to release what cluster that they believe the infected person picked up the virus. There seems to be 3 main clusters in the country.

if they hit 5000, they'll shut the country down.

GOOD NEWS alert!

Taxi driver who drove coronavirus patient from Dublin Airport tests negative for virus...
https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/taxi-driver-who-drove-coronavirus-patient-from-dublin-airport-tests-negative-for-virus-985193.html

The taxi driver who drove the woman from Northern Ireland who was the first diagnosed case of the coronavirus on the island of Ireland has told of how he has not been asked about other passengers in the following days...
He said he was fortunate that his home had a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom so he was able to stay in that. He had been told he could go for walks but to avoid being in contact with others.

Wow, I wasn’t aware COVID-19 can persist as long as 9 days on glass, metal, or plastic. One tough bug!

Try reading the awful English below the headline. Half of the scaremongerers on this forum only read headlines it seems.

Although there are not data for COVID-19, other coronaviruses have been shown to persist as long as 9 days on glass, metal, or plastic in the worst case, with a very large amount of virus inoculated. Packaged goods from China are very unlikely to have infectious particles due to long shipping times and reduced virus infectivity on paper.
COVID-19 can be spread from infected surfaces, so keeping hands washed (or frequently using alcohol-based sanitizer) and being careful not to put your hands to your face will help reduce infection. However, the major risk is person-to-person through droplets from a cough or sneeze.

Italy for Europw will be like the canary in the coal mine. If it goes like you suggest(I doubt it will) then we will see very heavy restrictions on every facet of our lives. Watch Italy carefully so as to see the future for the european outbreak.

Not going to lie, a flu is fairly bad. A very bad flu Id imagine is serious. So if most people get a "very bad flu" that's fairly serious.

For those of an older generation would it be worth comparing it with the risk of say TB? When you think of the measures deployed in living memory to combat that, to me that seems like a more fitting comparison.

That did not pan out in China. Hubei infections peaked at about 1,000 per day and outside of Hubei it never really took off. The next three days of numbers from Italy, France, Germany and Spain will be very interesting and should tell us if China's containment measures are more effective than what is happening in Europe, as many are speculating.

I wonder how long it will be before someone smacks someone on the bus for sneezing.

Was on a jam packed bus this morning and the guy sneezing in the back was getting some serious looks.

If it's hit Munich, I would expect it at the same time.

There will come a stage where they will say, everything gets locked down for 3 weeks, whoever gets sick in the meantime call x number.

This only works if every country in Europe is on the same page; you would need to implement quarantines on people coming into the country at the same time.
