Was watching last week tonight. The heat killed the Spanish Flu by May. Although it came back in October and killed Thousands....

Also, Spanish flu couldn't travel as quickly around the world as a virus can today . . .

Can we rename the coronavirus to foot and mouth to get a better response from government and the HSE?

DoH, not HSE.

6 days ago there had been 80,000 cases. As of today there have been 88,000 cases. That would make doubling time about 7 weeks. Obviously some places like Italy have been seeing flare ups, but other places have seen slow downs which has balanced that out.

Hubei was increasing by thousands every day, one day by 15000.
Locking down stopped the increase

The difference in response is amazing.

Foot and Mouth threatened a business asset by not taking action while Coronavirus threatens business productivity by taking action. Health and safety was never the priority

WHO advising that it is not in pandemic territory yet as most cases are localised to China, all within one region.

Outside of China most cases are a result of cluster spreads from Chinese travel and not as a result of community spread, so a good sign.

When did they say this? There is significant community spread in Korea, Japan, Italy and Iran, at least, with no links to Chinese travel

Also, I would probably state we will most likely have an effective treatment (not vaccine) within 3-6 months.

That's assuming no change in acceleration over the 7 weeks. Multiple countries have just began their massive growth phase while China has decelerated sharply after shutting down the country. China's cases have become a smaller and smaller piece of the pie so its deceleration will have less of an effect and won't balance the others out over that period.

Foot and mouth is very contagious and requires mass culling where it's detected, which is not really an option open to the DoH.

That is not the point. Of course it will be noticed. The HSE acknowledged that the identity of the school may be disclosed elsewhere.

The point they are trying to make (presumably) is that they will not disclose potentially identifying information if a someone who may be infected contacts them. It is the mesage to the a potential carrier who may be reluctant to come forward (for whatever reason).

Regardless of whether the HSE discloses any identifying information, that information will still become widely known.

There are 400 pupils in this school, all self-isolating at home now, doubtless texting their friends, Snapchatting, and posting on the Internet. You think they don't know the identity of the infected student and are not spreading that information around? I'd guess thousands of people already know his or her identity.

If the concern is someone not getting dirty looks in the supermarket (as another poster put it) because the entire community knows they've been infected with the coronavirus, that is unavoidable in this day and age, regardless of what policies the HSE puts in place.

I heard them say yesterday a press conference would take place in the evenings around 7 from now on?

I guess that means confirmed cases will be announced at that time.

I wasn't talking about confirmed, I was talking about the suspected figures

Watching the WHO and I think they said transmission in families is 5-10%?

Call Me Jimmy · 02-03-2020 05:09PM

Dr Michael Ryan WHO: "Clearly all health systems will come under pressure from this disease, we've seen that on a global level. It doesn't matter what country you're in this disease will stretch your health system"

notobtuse · 02-03-2020 05:10PM

Apparently the US federal government have been issuing coronaviurs test kits with faulty components that produced inconclusive results. And many here want to turn over our entire healthcare system to the US government?

I wonder when china returns back to normal with regards to everyone back to work and school etc is this likely to cause another outbreak?
There seems to be talk of a proportion of people not having any symptoms and I wonder if they will just be carriers.

If you think there's 400 pupils who are all self isoloating then you must be sniffing glue.

Yeh, when you saw Dr Bruce talking about China, it really did look like the first few weeks (month or so) China reacted slow and thats what caused more issues. Its probably why countries outside are reacted quite quickly when their cases go up. In fairness it does look like countries are maybe better at reacting when it gets bad (learning from China) then they are at containment (where they certainly appear more apathetic publicly).

Is this not very contagious? Stopping travel and strict quarantines would be something that can be done as was done then. I don't see disinfectant being sprayed on buildings or public transport like then either. Proactive actions are needed now. Prefer to see what some call 'over reaction' early to halt the spread than a ton of reaction later when it on't be stopped.

I heard a journalist ask him when will the figures be updated.

He said every Tuesday.

She asked for an indication or update to the figures.

He refused.

That is for testing numbers, not confirmations.
