    We're two weeks behind them but with a worse health service. Harris is already out saying "hard choices will have to be made". That's code for people will be left die.

    Was expecting 503 Error when I logged in here after hearing about the two NI cases on reddit! Think we crashed boards last night when the second case was announced

    Do you have a link to that please.

    So the dog that tested "weak positive" had coronavirus 'on' him, rather than 'in' him? As in a dog can carry it on them like any surface. Like if someone with Covid-19 sneezes on my arm, I'm now carrying it on my arm? Is that what you mean?

    I think it's mad crufts is going ahead with all the people there, from all parts of the world. If the virus can sit on dogs coats as well... And all those people petting the dogs.. crazy.

    We're all going to be avoiding touching unnecessary surfaces but very hard to resist petting a cute dog!

    So what do you suggest? Shut down the whole country, all events etc because 80 out of 70 million people have corona.

    This is after they fiddled the figures only to include those with symptoms!

    Things are escalating now and STILL no travel restrictions.

    We are all one big happy EU

    If that's not enough to stop all flights to Italy at this stage I dont know what is.

    The vast majority of cases in either European countries all originate in Italy

    No it’s not. It means that public events like the parade will have to be cancelled.

    Is there anything online from people who have recovered? Like talking about how they are now etc. I find it strange there is nothing online, especially in this day and age. Like, do people go back to their normal lives and are totally fine?


    Good article on guardian. "To hell and back" first hand account from a 21 year old student who survived.

    We now have several countries we can look at that followed a somewhat predictable pattern. 1 case. 2 cases. 5 cases. It's ok, they all traveled in from somewhere affected. 10 cases. 20 cases... Ok, 4 of them we have no idea. 50 cases, ok, half of them are in-country. 100 cases, 200 cases, bam, 500 cases, 750 cases, 1,250 cases........

    So for us here in Ireland to be sitting on our hands saying "We only have 2 cases" (and incidentally, everything I've heard about Brexit debates tells me we have 1 island economy and free flowing people, so if they have 3 in NI, we have 5 on the island and might as well face facts) and thinking about throwing a giant festival is a bit silly.

    All they did by juking the stats was make their death rate look even scarier

    Simon Harris talked about this and I agree with him, anyone can just go to another EU state and take a flight wherever they want. Stopping flights to Italy will do very little

    I'm not one for getting hysterical. I accepted weeks ago that Ireland would have cases.
    We really should have stopped flights to and from Italy.
    It may not have stopped the current cases, but with flights still incoming and outgoing, the number of cases will likely continue to rise.
    Most of our cases and suspected cases are all linked to Italy.

    But I think games will be behind closed doors.

    If it gets really bad the Euro's will get postponed which is likely imo.

    So if the season is suspended for a month or two I can see the season finishing in July maybe,

    First match is 12th June in Rome it's a while to go now but this viurs has massive implications and knock on effect for a lot of sports organisations

    I forgot about Crufts! That is one that should definitely be cancelled.. It starts tomorrow though so everyone has already traveled at this stage.. Keep an eye out for cases in Birmingham :pac:

    I'm boggled that flights from northern Italy are still being allowed to leave the region, never mind the country. I know it's tough but they've closed down education, football is going behind closed doors - restricting wider movement is the logical thing to do.

    The same thing that's happening all over the globe.

    They've just got a head start

    10% of tests conducted in that region are positive. The numbers are clearly huge in Italy/. Id say possibly 5 times that range. They are catching up and it could take a few weeks

    Apparently Iceland now has 26 cases.

    So all the graphs are exactly the same. Hop along with a couple of cases for a few days and then the takes off.

    We need to be prepared for the pressure on the health services.

    Almost 800 new cases in Europe's five largest states this afternoon, not even including many other new cases in Switzerland, Belgium , Norway, etc

    The death rate started high in China too as it killed the most vulnerable quicker than the recoveries. This dropped down dramatically over time. I think it's currently around 1.5% in China. This still isn't making an estimate for unconfirmed cases so the true figure will be well below 1% but still a lot higher than the Flu.

    Collapse? Bit of a stretch, more like major disruption, not collapse

    Just thinking of my myself and wider family. I am inclined to develop heart rhythm disorder & inefficient pumping action especially during times of illness and past serious bacterial pneumonia, so my approximate risk assessment for myself is about 6% risk of death or lasting poor health, about 35% chance needing hospital. Wider family: uncle aged 97 (who still enjoys his computer games), aunt 88, type 1 diabetic cousin aged 70 (with new first grandchild), cousin just recovered from cancer with nutrition disorder from treatment, 70 year old special needs cousin, very plucky, with chronic leukaemia & type 2 diabetes, 65 year old cousin on biologic immune suppressive treatment for arthritis who gets everything going, 65 year old cousin with liver transplant & haemochromatosis on immune suppression, 58 year old cousin long term heavy smoker looking after elderly mother. There will surely be a death directly due to Covid19 among my lot, but it could be ironically one of the younger healthy ones with no risk factor.
