hmmmmm

1st post is about deaths, the other is about new confirmed cases since yesterday

It's only 1 day so can't jump for joy yet but it's positive that there is much less confirmed cases since yesterday. I was afraid we'd see over 600

Frightening. What a pack of arseholes the BJP are.

The death rate is indeed very high in Italy. Twice the amount of deaths of South Korea with as half as many cases.

This temperature and Covid-19 business :-

The virus has only been known to science since late December of last year and there are many unknowns about it. The effect of temperature and climate on the virus and its spread is one of those unknowns.

But just because that serial liar Donald Trump said that the coronavirus outbreak will be gone by April because “the heat generally speaking kills this kind of virus” does not make it so.

Today : Kuwait - 56 cases Bahrain - 47 cases U.A.E. - 21 cases

Not exactly arctic permafrost territory there in the Persian Gulf !

Also the MERS (also a coronavirus) 2012 outbreak BEGAN in Saudi Arabia.

That “gone by April” will come back to haunt him !!

:-)

Going by the amount of Italians testing positive abroad when they get to other countries (and you have to assume the bulk of these would not be seriously ill when they leave Italy) I think you'd have to conclude the number of reported cases is a gross underestimate

And this is the problem of having non-experts talking about the issue.

Much prefer to hear what Dr. Holohan has to say on behalf of the expert group.

I just got back to Germany from a week trip home to Ireland and I hit the supermarket today to get some food in.

I saw myself first hand a few things that I had read were happening but was not sure I believed. The first is that people who look even vaguely Asian seem to be getting avoided. One example of many: There was three tills open. There was 7 or 8 people queuing at two of them. There was ONE person at the other. Asian. Not complaining. I used that line and got served very quickly as the Asian person was pretty much done...

...I love humans. I love human life. I am a humanist I suppose, though I do not generally use that label. But at the same time I really do think our species is en masse simply massively stupid at times. Human Behaviour around something like a virus like this one scares me a lot more than the virus itself, for which I have read little of concern outside social media.

And based on this fine piece of empirical research with a test sample of exactly 1 Asian, what were your findings?

Is it at all possible that you were so busy seeing what you needed to that you didn’t hear ‘Dear customers, we are now opening till 3 for you. Please bring your shopping.’

You may well be a beautiful human being Nozz, one of the best, but don’t go into research.

Yeah, but the positive replies were in relation to the case numbers, the negative to the death rate.

Hopefully it's just a statistical error, or that the areas it hit are more likely to be made up of the retired and elderly demographic(as small villages and towns in that neck of the woods can be) and that's what's throwing the stats. The main worry would be it's mutated to become more virulent, like the Spanish flu did over time(the first wave of that was more like an "average" flu, when it mutated later in the year it was much more deadly).

People die much faster than they can be confirmed to recover as the virus lingers in the body for quite a while after the worst of the illness has passed. So in the first few weeks the mortality rate is very, very high. But it reduces significantly as more and more confirmed cases go into confirmed recovery. Yesterday the Italian mortality rate was 33% for closed cases. Today it’s near 26%. Tomorrow it’s likely to be lower again.

I do, the concept of social media is to spread alarm, panic, lies etc. It makes for an entertaining watch, that I was commenting on.

Over simplification of the facts as usual on this thread. In fairness the media is to blame for most of it.

Define lock down as there's a big difference between the measures being taken in different regions. You can't just blanket term it all as lock down.

There's not 700 million people in lock down. Rather 500-700 affected by some policies to contain the virus which itself is probably a bs estimate.

Lockdown means being confined to your home aka quarantine aka forced self isolation.

There's a big difference being confined to your home or having to use id to enter an area or being told to stay at home for 14 days after coming from an affected region or some travel restrictions.

2 guys saying the whole country was in lock down, you saying half the country. Again the usual overblown bs with no detail added.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Hubei_lockdowns

Do you have some sources for these large estimates? I struggled to find any outside of clickbait headlines.

Overblown bs? Yes there were different levels and for different lengths of time but the whole country extended chinese new year for weeks... with a complete travel ban. If you don't want to call that a lockdown that's fine, it's a bit pedantic. I'm not going to go through it all for you but you are misrepresenting the situation much more than you're accusing me of. Ask anyone who has contacts in china were they staying inside for weeks. There were one or two in this thread.

these are cities of millions of people all over, imagine new york or london.

If there was only a bout 50 million at home then you wouldn't see the economic and environmental indicators drop so significantly.

Something I don't get is that Ireland seems to be immune from this virus especially considering flights were coming in from Italy and one diagnosed and another that travelled up north.

I think you missed the word "example" in my post. As in it was not the sum total of the things I saw.

As for my findings? As I said I was sceptical it was happening when I read it. Having seen a few examples of it I still remain sceptical because I am myself a sample set of 1 (you were ALMOST right in your post) but it was interesting none the less. Been shopping in that same shop for 11 years now. Never seen that before so it just struck me. But perhaps I was LOOKING for it having read about it, which makes it possibly a self selecting sample.

Not how that particular store works

Seems like common sense. I often wonder how Ireland is as successful as it has been given the standard of some of our senior officials who always act in a reactive instead of proactive manner as the s**t missiles well and truly into the fan.

Looks like Limerick. I’ve heard of a suspected case here awaiting results so won’t be surprised if it is.

wakka12 · 02-03-2020 06:41PM

So tourists have contracted Covid 19 after returning from trips to UK, Spain, Egypt and UAE, none of which apparently have community outbreaks. What are the chances?
