    So why lock down so severely you were welding people into their houses?

    First update for the day from South Korea is +309 cases.

    They are headed for a record close to or over 1000 for the day.

    Big escalation. No death figures yet.

    I just got off my bus to work.
    Man and his two kids all of them with a horrendous whopping cough...spluttering everywhere not a tissue in sight.
    I am not saying they are thick but one of the children was literally licking the f#cking window!

    Because very few active cases in Europe have had time to recover yet, so our recovery rates are extremely low. In another few weeks our recovery rates should have climbed significantly. At the same time, recovery rates in China should have climbed while cases hopefully are significantly dropping off. So Europe will have more active cases than recovered but globally we will hopefully continue seeing a trend of more recovered cases than active.

    That's exactly my point. Recovery rates should start to go up in the next week or 2 as we haven't really had a full 2 weeks yet within Europe.

    You are misrepresenting what I said to call it hyperbole.

    I am saying their decision making process is driven by long term survival of their societies much more than it is in the West (and thus they prefer hurting individuals in the short term to reduce the probability of the issue going completely out of hands and possibly damaging their societies whereby her immediate individual freedom is prioritised even though it increases the probability of Things going out of hands and hurting Our societies more in the medium/long term).

    I didn’t say western societies are about to collapse.

    Depends, are you listening to the advice of the HSE or a competent overseas health authority? The HSE to date has basically been issuing letters doing pirouettes of verbal elasticity to make out that family members living in the same house aren’t close contacts. A lady on the street interviewed by prime time last night summed it up: So if I spend 15 minutes with someone somewhere there’s a chance I get the virus, but if I go home the HSE says I won’t give it to my family?

    It’s liability arse covering.

    If you live with someone who is at enough risk they’ve been sent home, you’re at risk.

    So what are the competent overseas saying in relation to the question you quoted compared to the HSE. Because it seems all you did is rant

    If it's time to panic, what the hell are you doing in Dublin City centre with hundreds of thousands of people?

    Surely the point of quarantine is to stop it getting everywhere??

    I think it’s time we got real about this virus. It is clear from the cases that have already occurred that it can be, and is being spread by people who have it but don’t yet know that they have it. In these cases quarantine is just ‘closing the stable door when the horse is gone’.
    We also should get real about the danger or lack of it. It appears to be no more dangerous than a cold or flu for the vast majority of the population.
    What will probably happen is that most of the population will be exposed to this virus one way or another and most of us will hardly notice it.
    I can’t see much point in quarantine or ‘self-isolation’. You can’t stop infected people from exhaling. All this emphasis on hand washing is mostly just PR by health authorities who have no other useful advice to offer.

    Read about the South Korean cult it seems to be true they were deliberately spreading it seemingly, as well as hiding the names of their members to make tracing infection a nightmare

    He was outed by his own community, not randoners on social media. As it is, given what the HSE has been doing or lack thereof, something like this was always going to happen. He got tested as negative beforeand was obviously told to go to work.

    I am aware of where he was outer but we don't need more people outed about this and blamed. I meant the reaction to him in general shows we are willing to lump the blame on individuals quite heavily.

    Since it is in the posts above mine. Except that Korean cult. They need to be arrested for that stuff.

    Globally maybe (although hard to say), but were you not referring to European active cases in your post I commented on? I don’t see how we could have less active cases in Europe in the next few weeks. Infection is clearly happening exponentially so more people are being infected than people recover.

    A religious sect deliberately infected themselves then set off throughout Korea on a divine mission to infect as many people as possible. Last I read a minimum of half of all Korean cases are traceable back to this church.

    You may need to be tested for coronavirus

    You will need to be tested for coronavirus if you have symptoms and have in the last 14 days been:

    • in close contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus (Who knows at this stage)
    • to a place where there is spread of coronavirus
    Can we all work with the fact that this also includes The East, West and South of Ireland!

    The symptoms of coronavirus are:
    • a cough
    • shortness of breath
    • breathing difficulties
    • fever (high temperature)

    Meanwhile, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:

    • Isolate yourself from other people - this means going into a different, well-ventilated room alone, with a phone
    • phone your GP or
    • emergency department or
    • if this is not possible, phone 112 or 999

    First update from Germany for the day....+134 cases

    There is going to be a massive total in Germany for today. Probably 550+

    We are getting close to the point where serious restrictions are going to be introduced in other countries outside of Italy.

    That wasn’t my post. It could easily take 6-8 weeks before Europe’s recovery rates are higher than active cases. That’s a completely uneducated guess.
