    Why aren’t we doing this?
    We can’t deal with the problem unless we know the scope of it.

    Symptoms
    —fever (83% - 98%)
    —dry cough (76% -82%)
    —fatigue or muscle aches (up to 45%)

    How high of a fever?

    IT Equipment we ordered pushed out from 6 weeks to 12 weeks and now to 18 weeks. The supplier gets a lot of it from china I would say.

    Anyway, whole project is fooked. Not that it matters in the scheme of things but an example of supply chain slow down.

    Its a global fight against coronavius now.


    Call off paddy's day ..not just here but worlwide (no-brainer to me anyways)

    Stop all flights to and from Italy (at least thats where we should start )


    Worry about the capitalists, insurers and solicitors and other (parasites) 's later.

    I was looking forward to the bond movie due out in April but it's pushed out to November now.

    It's the poor bastards at their mercy at the bottom that are being worried about, the folk depending on wages/cover of payments etc. will fall first regardless.

    250 ICU Beds in IRELAND, anyone know what’s going on to increase this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 293 ✭✭AVFC.Stephen


    What I find interesting is that Norway with all its money and oil are not closing anything down of yet... whereas if we are to read deep into this forum as a idea of what the public think.... we would be closing down the country as if it was 2 inches of snow...

    I'm not saying we shouldnt but I'm also not saying we should... Norway could cope with closing things down as it's very rich... dont think ireland could

    Yes looks rubbish anyway and that is from somebody that owns all the bond movies to date.

    Being serious I was one of the we are in for a really bad ride people in this thread.

    I actually read other peoples posts so now I am kind of on the fence.

    I hope this is not too bad but I am somewhat concerned.

    Eh no, they are the uk cases

    But can spread more easily on the island of Ireland.

    Nothing. Only a minimal increase would be possible anyway. That's why it's critical we slow the spread of the virus as much as possible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,109 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    Wouldn't be surprised if we had more confirmed cases later today or tomorrow.

    My gym are being pr1cks, I’m due for renewal next week and I asked them what would happen if they closed. Would days I didn’t have access be extended to my membership. They’ve refused to say yes or no.

    It has been said that warm weather will kill virus.

    Can someone explain how virus has now spread to British woman in Tenerife hotel, unconnected to original Italian group. Temperatures in 20s during day and people isolating outdoors in sun.

    I read that it's not supposed to survive temperatures higher than 25/26 degrees, but if that were the case I doubt anyone would get infected or stay sick for long, considering that a human body temperature is more or less 37 degrees and that infected people develop a fever.

    Thanks for getting back. So the RAI newsreader was incorrect and there is no evidence of this:


    Also, your link references mathematical evidence that the virus originated in Oct/Nov in Wuhan, several weeks before the first weeks were described.It refers to this as being consistent with a previous investigation (linked in the report) which found:

    "Most estimates since the first data was produced have produced a date that is consistent with the epidemiological reports of a first cluster of cases in December at a seafood market in Wuhan City. As more genomes have been generated, this is looking increasingly supported by the timing of the MRCA of the sampled genomes."http://virological.org/t/phylodynamic-analysis-129-genomes-24-feb-2020/356

    So we are back to where we started as to the origin of the virus.

    The location, but not the time.

    In an era of uncertainty, this is what you are pissed off about? :pac:

    It can't be increased quickly, that's why the population and government needs to accept how seriously containment and mitigation should be taken.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,599 ✭✭✭✭CIARAN_BOYLE


    Really, they’re testing more aggressively? I didn’t realise that.

    40 times as much testing. Roughly 13 times as many people.

    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.

    Do you send all your relatives an annual medical questionnaire along with the Happy Christmas, Hope You Survive The New Year card?

    Hopefully we get confirmed cases and it leads to St Patrick's day parads being postponed

    Stay at home seems to be the advice given by the HSE. Do Irish hospitals have the equipment and hazmat suits to treat this?

    I wonder is that because they're worried about people not going to the cinema during the 'epidemic' (and possibly even cinemas being closed) or because the title might be seen as in bad taste?

    None whatsoever, we use sacrificial doctors when dealing with infectious diseases
