Anyone think we are close to crossing that line in terms of people panicking and stockpiling of supplies etc ?

On Saturday I met a person who flies all over the world and has contact with all sorts of people. She is back in her home country now and self-isolating on the advice of her government due to her risk factor. I was drinking with her for four hours. If I presented with symptoms, why would they not treat me as a potential case?

Lack of resources would be the answer to that.

Keeping the rate of infection down is obviously the key. At a 0.1% infection rate and assuming a 2% mortality rate, would result in 97 deaths here. It's a figure no one wants to see but less than the number of deaths from the flu in a year. I'm just using those numbers for illustration purposes.

Huge underestimate. What's that 0.1pc figure?
Are you mixing up attack rate and R0?

There was definitely a slight buzz of that in the supermarket just now. A lot more full trolleys than normal. I saw one guy with about 50 can of beans, he'll be too healthy to catch any virus soon

Not happy to read about the hospital worker - surely anyone in that kind of job who has recently been to Northern Italy would be asked to stay home? Surely that's a no-brainer?
No pasta on the shelves in my local Tesco, that made me feel a little nervous - in case panic buying starts to create shortages.

I'm amazed that someone who works in a hospital would not know to stay at home. You are just home from Italy.

The mind boggles at the stupidity of people.

AFAIK the CoronaVirus produces a dry cough - so unlikely you have it.

My wife had a dry cough. Mine produces frequent small amounts of sputum, which is sometimes a symptom.

I probably don't have it. My temperature hasn't gone above 38 and there's a ****ty flu around. But the lead time between my wife getting sick and me is odd, as is our two year old barely being bothered by it.

Honestly I'd be very happy if I did have it, and this was the full the extent of it on me and my family.

Guardian Live Blog...

Egypt has declared its first coronavirus infection of an Egyptian national. The country’s Ministry of Health and Population said a 44-year-old Egyptian citizen showed symptoms after returning from Serbia via 12-hour transit in France.

The man has now been quarantined, as Egyptian officials declare they have stepped up preparations against the virus across the country, including screenings at airports.

Egypt previously declared two foreign nationals infected with COVID-19. A Chinese national who tested positive for the virus in mid-February later recovered, while a 54-year old Canadian national was quarantined last Monday.

As recently as last weekend, the country’s Prime Minister and health ministry declared repeatedly that Egypt was free of the virus, despite raising suspicions after multiple foreign nationals returned from trips to Egypt showing symptoms.

“One trip to Egypt was the source of 11 cases out of 20 people,” in the French town of La Balme-de-Sillingy according to Le Monde.

Egypt about to face the music same as Iran? Can't keep reality hidden forever.

There have been numerous cases sourced in Egypt spreading for weeks yet no confirmed cases in the country.

I was in Supervalu earlier (Galway). Shelves are all fully stocked. No sense of panic whatsoever. I think it's much more likely to happen in Dublin.

the 2% rate has to be the most random figure ever thrown around in history

At this point that is not recommended because people are not in the clear once they have had it like with other viruses. At this point, evidence suggests that Covid-19 aggressively attaches itself to endocrine receptors and can remain in the system dormant, reinfect you and transmit to other people. The respiratory system likely will sustain damage and it will be more difficult to recover after a second or third battle with the virus.

The total number of the new coronavirus cases in Greece has risen to 31, after 21 more people who came in contact with the country’s ninth confirmed case tested positive, ekathimerini.com reports.

The figures were revealed in a press briefing from Greek Health Ministry spokesman Dimitris Tsiodras.

The country is moving into ‘Phase 2’ of the ministry’s health risk containment strategy, meaning that official measures will focus on containing the virus from spreading from western Greece.

Haven't noticed any difference in mine. I'm sure sales of some items are higher than usual but very few stockpiling.

Think people from this thread see an empty shelf and assume it's because of this. Confirmation bias all over the place.

There should be heat seeking devices all over Dublin airport, then we might be able to control this outbreak here instead of washing our hands of it

Today in the New England Journal of Medicine
Transmission of 2019-nCoV Infection from an Asymptomatic Contact in Germany
"A 33-year-old otherwise healthy German businessman (Patient 1) became ill with a sore throat, chills, and myalgias on January 24, 2020. The following day, a fever of 39.1°C (102.4°F) developed, along with a productive cough. By the evening of the next day, he started feeling better and went back to work on January 27.
Before the onset of symptoms, he had attended meetings with a Chinese business partner at his company near Munich on January 20 and 21. The business partner, a Shanghai resident, had visited Germany between January 19 and 22. During her stay, she had been well with no signs or symptoms of infection but had become ill on her flight back to China, where she tested positive for 2019-nCoV on January 26"

How did this first case in Bavaria spread to the rest of Europe ?
An hypothesis could be:
-Bavaria
-Spain
-13 February: first death in Valencia (only announced this week)
-19 February: Valencia fans travelled to Bergamo for match with Atalanta
-Italy

But that still does not explain the first victim in France - who had no links with neither China nor Italy.

Heat seeking missiles. That will take care of it.

I don't believe you. Why would the coronavirus be lying dormant in the Pancreas where the endocrine receptors are? I've seen no evidence of case studies of reinfection.
And obviously, source?

Neighbour works in nearest large Tesco.

They are now short on pasta, tins of chopped tomatoes, flour, yeast and obviously then the cleaning products, liquid soaps and hand gels
