Meant the comment that was made. I’m sure obvious desperate breakfast will follow the professional advise they’ve been given based on their particular situation....not a randomer on boards.

A real tussle between France and Germany. The country of bread and wine versus the country of iron and steel.

Can’t help but wonder about Russia, are they not testing ?

If I haven't miscalculated - always a possibility - Ireland has 16 times the infection rate of the UK, per head of population.

Rough populations

Ireland
4.75m 13 cases
1 per 365k

UK
66.5m 116 cases
1 per 573k

So yeah nothing like 16 times the infection rate even if you want to put the NI cases in with ROI

Pseudonym 121. I get ya with concern about its ability to cause encephalitis. Your post just came across a bit ambiguous about the "cured patient" aspect. I understand that you had doubts about this statement but there was nothing in the study to suggest the patient had been cured of COVID-19 so was unsure why you mentioned that aspect.

Trump said on fox news, death rate is probably below 1% as not everyone will even report feeling ill as it's so mild and not worth a doc visit or a hospital visit.

I've been following the HSE/dept of Health guidelines.

I just spend 14 minutes 59 seconds with people and I haven't been infected yet.

Put your trust in them!

How did they estimate this 15 minute period? That its the average time a person would cough or sneeze at least once if infected?

You made a mistake earlier in a post, probably didn’t mean any malice. But you should drop it now before you dig a deeper hole.

Interested to hear your perspective. Are you worried or not?

I am slowly getting worried. I live in the Silicon Docks area and have a few multinationals as neighbours plus the IFSC just 5 minutes walk from my apartment. I have had to cancel going to various events and I am not going too far from my apartment. Luckily I work from home.

Next Monday afternoon I have to go to the Mater to get blood's done as I am seeing my haemotologist to get a checkup 2 weeks later. My first one since I finished treatment. How are you handling it?

0.001% of population infected I think, although my maths has been known to be absolutely crap.

I have a question for you if you don't mind.

Some people wrote here or in the previous thread that they got a bad dose of a heavy cold or flu already. Earlier on this year. Would it have been possible it would have been this Covid-19 doing the rounds already in Ireland? Back in January.

Interestingly, I was just talking to my partner about this. At the start of February, she came down with an illness that bears many similarities to covid19: very high temperature; fever; muscle aches; difficulty breathing; etc. She has had the flu before but said this felt different.

Also, her job is unique in that she serves and is in close physical contact with a lot of customers who travel from all parts of China, specifically to come to this store. Possibly could have been passed on to her by one of them? Who knows.

Of course, this is all theoretical and it could have been the flu - we can't be sure. But interesting to think about. Either way, two weeks of solid rest and she recovered.

To be fair at this early stage a lot of data is preliminary. The data on pregnant women comes from a paper with a cohort of 18 women, 19 babies.

I think that it isn’t possible to say their conclusions are wrong especially when we know RNA viruses mutate so readily and the more people they infect and the longer they’re out there the more likely strains are to develop.

COVID19 developing a new strain isn’t something unlikely. It should be expected so when a paper says it has it isn’t exactly saying something surprising has happened.

Of course you’re entitled to tour opinion but every incontrovertible medical truth once started out as a paper awaiting peer review. And of course they could be wrong but are you really saying that over the course of one to two years you don’t expect multiple strains to develop?

While RNA viruses have a higher mutation value it does not mean they suddenly become a highly dangerous virus.
There is no evidence of the two strains identified are any different in their workings - as seen in the cases across Europe and the US (ignoring Iran for obvious reasons). Even S Korea has very little deaths and they are on the ball for reporting.

For the time being anything coming out of China needs to be taken with a large pinch of salt. If you want to see some of the crack pot ideas coming from Chinese scientists check more of the submitted papers - you would find it hard to believe these people even qualified as a doctor/specialist

That will just mean more people spending the day in the boozers, worst possible result.

The kind of people you're responding to don't give a **** about people who are actually at risk, they only care about being as dramatic as possible.

My dad is recovering from cancer and has asthma. He's 74. His reaction to all of this is taking the piss and talking about how it only impacts old people.

It’s cos anyone with a serious illness becomes unflappable in order to deal with the endless crap thrown at us. It’s very hard to be bothered about coronavirus after five years of cancer symptoms and gruelling treatments.

he got in big trouble earlier for seeming to suggest people a little bit sick should still go to work. came out with a frantic backtracking tweet later after his handlers had a word with him.

The evil corporate overlords have decided that people need employment where they’re paid with money rather than hot air. And Leo is enthralled to them so don’t hold your breath.

Srsly though, I would imagine it will be.

Boyfriend went to the GP today. Most probably doesn't have coronavirus, and is just unwell. He is prone to sore throats.

GP said even if he thought he had it, e.g. came back from Northern Italy, he would not be tested because he is young and they don't have resources to test the young. Young people just go home and wait it out.

There's hundreds of people already infected. Tests are not a reflection of actual numbers.
