    They are at the mercy of the chain of command. They're lucky, in a way, to be in possession of the facts that they're concealing from the public at large. I'd be interested to see if any of them have withdrawn their children from school or taken precautions like stockpiling.

    Shouldn't this kind of nonsense be saved for the conspiracy theory forum?

    Perhaps and the fashion thing too.

    I believe a lot of connection between the worst affected parts of Italy and China due textile industries.

    Didn't know sharing underwear and high Quality garments was a thing in Northern Italy!

    Answering my own question CUH on lockdown according to the Echo.

    It's not 'they', though, is it? All the cases in Ireland are Irish nationals who travelled back from Italy.

    You can blame the Chinese for starting the entire thing with their backwards, unhygienic animal handling practices. You can't blame the Italians for it spreading in Europe.


    Yep, i'm not sure how pointing fingers to another countries is going to help. What's next? Blaming the first Irish people who brought it on the island?

    The north Italy is also strongly connected to central Europe, where the virus arrived first

    One Doctor’s Life on the Coronavirus Front Lines. ‘If We Fail, What Happens to You All?’

    From the Wall Street Journal
    In China, more than 3,000 doctors have been infected, according to official data, and at least 22 have died. Some medical professionals believe the numbers are even higher, adding uncertainty for doctors elsewhere confronting the virus. Untold numbers of family members have fallen ill.

    Chinese doctors are working shifts of 10 hours or more. Many stay in the same hazmat suits the entire time, without food, water or bathroom breaks. Disrobing to eat or go to the bathroom could risk exposure...

    how do you mean?
    could have done a lot better in explaining, this is as bad as the stick figures on the white board. Nothing about it spreads through droplets from notes and mouth and why it's important not to touch your face etc. better to have it all in one video

    Nobody has immunity to coronavirus.

    Please be specific.

    Coronaviruses were first discovered in the 1960s. There are many viruses in the coronavirus group/family.

    Surely people that contract and survive the Covid19 are immune from that particular strain?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,065 ✭✭✭otnomart


    Can someone please explain why northern Italy is a hotbed for this virus?
    This is the known timeline:
    • end of January - First case in Germany - linked to China
    • 13 February in Valencia - First known death in Europe - diagnosed only this week - no known links to China
    • 19 February: Valencia fans travelled to Bergamo for match with Atalanta
    • 20 February in Italy - first patient is diagnosed there - after 1.5 days in hospital - no known links to China


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,591 ✭✭✭gabeeg


    42 new cases in Sweden. Total of 94.

    Sorry. When I say coronavirus I mean Covid19.

    And yeah you're right, there may be immunity for those that have had it already. But that's not conclusive yet.

    It's not of much comfort though.

    Surely London and Paris will get hit badly as well?
    Don't know about the UK, but the virus was in France since at least 13 February, when the first French victim (with no links to neither China nor Italy) started developing symptoms.
    He was diagnosed later and after 6 days in Creil hospital.
    Creil (in the Oise region) is a now a cluster. It is commuter town connected to Paris by train to Gare du Nord station - same station where Eurostar departs to London.

    Something is seriously wrong here.
    The HSE are being very slow in informing the public about cases.

    At this point, proven to not be an effective strategy.


    They are at the mercy of the chain of command. They're lucky, in a way, to be in possession of the facts that they're concealing from the public at large. I'd be interested to see if any of them have withdrawn their children from school or taken precautions like stockpiling.

    It was in response to people discussing the possibility of a 70+% infection rate world wide.

    The point was that this is the single worst affected place on the planet, and it still didn't come close to 1% infection rate before dropping off. Yes, they took measures. Measures that can be taken in specific limited areas if they got that bad (nowhere is that bad, including northern Italy, which is actually also starting to drop in the rate of cases per day and may be nearing the top of their own bell curve at some point)

    It was also in the context of three thousand mostly older people being locked in a cruise ship where the virus was left to run rampant like a petri dish, and still most of them were not infected. The idea that 70% of the world's population will become infected despite large scale mitigation work is madness.


    There is quite a bit of data to suggest exponential growth but again time will tell.

    Where would I find a list of today's new cases by country? Seems like lots of European countries have increased by a huge amount.

    https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/Breaking-Cork-University-Hospital-on-lockdown-due-to-infection-outbreak-amid-fresh-coronavirus-fears-e432674d-5128-4a15-8b96-b34d9ab0db6e-ds

    Not ideal. ''Outbreak'' on the signs make it sound severe, as if the patient isn't segregated and was just walking around the place? Very dangerous if that was the case. Heard it could be from the Christ the king ski trip but again thats just a rumour so we wont know.

    Heres to the 'case in the south of ireland' later on which could literally mean either Cork City or Dingle

    Wonder if the person just walked into the hospital against advice maybe?
