    What's with Australians rushing out to buy all the toilet paper in supermarkets because of the virus?

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/coronavirus-panic-buying-toilet-paper-australia-a9374096.html%3famp

    2 reasons

    One of the symptoms is diarrhoea, considering the whole family could be on bowl lockdown for 2-3 days and everyone else in your area in the same boat and shops possibly are under mandatory shutdown for 2 weeks then it better to have it than not.

    The Chinese are also sending it to family China as they have a shortage, this has always been the case with baby formula and supermarkets have had to put in 2 Tin per customer for last few years.

    Other items that shelves are being cleared

    • Baby formula
    • Hand sanitiser
    • Imodium/Gastro stop
    • Ladies sanitary items
    • those plastic Chinese type food containers
    • disinfectant
    • over counter cough syrup and throat lozenges
    • Rice/Pasta

    Good thing is there's been no transmission related infections. We need to cancel all flights to and from Italy immediately. No excuses now.

    It doesn't make any difference if one person or ten people who have been in Italy have the virus.

    One problem is that HSE will only test people, at the moment, who have symptoms and who have traveled to/from specified areas or people who come in contact with confirmed cases.

    If those are the criteria, nobody is really going to get an idea if there is/are cases of community transmission!

    I have had all the symptoms for the last 7 days (all the symptoms to the T....every one of them....and I have asthma), but I did not travel to/from a specified area and I am not aware that I have come in contact with a confirmed case. The weekend before last I was staying in a hotel (in Ireland) for a few days (with many other nationalities staying there).

    I called GP last Friday and receptionist took details and said, ahhh....you should be fine. Still waiting on a call back from the GP.

    I've a feeling Tony Holohan will become the Patrick Neary, Emanuel Shinwell, Charles Trevelyan, the Catherine O'Leary's cow of Corona Virus in Ireland.

    Yes it's not community transmission but 4 more people in contact with numerous more people spreading infection. You can't paint anything rosy about the scenario.

    It doesn't change a thing or the actual risk : all four had been in northern Italy.

    It doesn't make any difference if one person or ten people who have been in Italy have the virus

    It would be examples of community infection that would concern the authorities.

    Well as the epidemic progresses in Italy the number of cases thee rises dramatically as we've seen. Therefor the probability of someone contracting the virus in Italy tomorrow is greater than today and therefore the probability of importing increases. Disease is longer than flu WHO

    "Using available preliminary data, the median time from onset to clinical recovery for mild cases is approximately 2 weeks and is 3-6 weeks for patients with severe or critical disease."

    https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/who-china-joint-mission-on-covid-19-final-report.pdf

    Checkout bayesian statistics. Probability of A given B.

    We hoped for the best, but the game was up once it broke out in Italy.The genie is well and truly out of the bottle now.I'd say it's a case of when and not if, this will be declared a pandemic.

    Only see some speculation they are the same family - probably are but nothing from the HSE confirming it

    This 100%. Docs shouldn't ask to see your passport. Say you are not long back from Italy.

    Now that we have 6 confirmed with more to follow, can we finally admit that **** just got real especially as they are in different parts of the country? Will Leo and his so-called committee meet tomorrow instead of Monday and can someone who has a half a brain announce that St Patricks Day events are cancelled? Or am I just asking too much?

    Do you know the cases of Corona in Europe - what's the history behind them? Are they all related to travel from Italy? Or is it community transmission?

    Or a joke?

    Jesus why is everybody at 90 on here the last few pages even people I am agreeing with are fighting with me.:D

    But they're not jokes. They are persistent sarcastic paranoid nonsense dressed up as jokes. It is unbelievably tiresome.

    You'd swear all these lads are people they found in the pub. If things need to be escalated they will. Testing asymptotic patients is still scientifically dubious.
