    Is there any chance that could have been the coronavirus? I'm guessing, unless we had a spike in pneumonia deaths, it couldn't possibly have been?
    It's easy to think this, but the reality is that doctors do take swabs and blood tests and all the rest from critically ill patients, in order to find out what they're dealing with.

    A GP sending someone home because they "probably" have the 'flu is fine. But when they're lying in a hospital bed and their condition is getting worse, doctors need to know what they're fighting in order to win, so they get tests done.

    So if this had been around before now, one of those lab tests would have picked it up already.

    Maybe it is not another case? maybe just a precaution?

    Think we all know in our hearts of hearts - it’s another case

    Social media will push people into a leper mentality where they will not admit it when they contract Covid19. They might self isolate but probably not for 2 weeks solid.

    So just to piece together the information, in terms of hospitals we now have restrictions in is 4? Mercy University Hospital Cork (which, as a big Dub, I'm not sure is different to CUH?); Cork University Hospital, Navan Hospital and University Hospital Limerick.

    Any others?

    That's already a lot of capacity taken out of the hospital system, 13 confirmed cases in.

    It's crazy to think that this day last week we had no confirmed cases. It going to get out of control because of HSE incompetence and relaxed attitude.

    Ones things for sure, if/when this blows over the next government are going to have to start investing a lot more and sorting out our health care system, I don't care how well the economy is doing or how much profits large multinationals make, I do care about a functioning health care system and this could be the straw that broke the camels back

    Not much help considering 3rd level won't be getting an Easter break tho?

    The majority of 3rd level colleges have an Easter break. All the IoTs, UCC, TU Dublin, etc. take two weeks. Some such as UL, NUIG etc. take one week.

    The guy in Italy had very clear symptoms but decided to run a marathon while not being able to and as a result the virus hit him hard. If he had sense and stayed at home and went to a doctor instead of the stupid 'nothing will stop me' attitude then he most likely would have made a full and quick recovery.

    Is that actually true? He's reported to have gone to the doctor 3 times and been diagnosed repeatedly with flu before finally developing pneumonia. He did infect a friend he went jogging with, so he was exercising while infected but I've heard nothing true about the marathon/half marathon. It's generally a bad idea to exercise with some illnesses, and Covid-19 appears to be such an illness, so the jogging could be part of the reason he is so sick, along with how he seems to have been getting on with life for so long while sick. The advice is that rest is essential if you start showing symptoms.

    You can add UCHG to that list by the end of today.

    Then why would they not say that they are in hospital?

    Recoverati con sintomi literally means 'Recovered with symptoms'. It does not mention hospital. they may be there but that is not clear from the column header.

    My reading that seems to make more sense is that Recovered with symptoms means that they are still showing positive.

    Healed would be those who are now recovered but not showing as positive any more.

    Now if you can show where the initial column actually means that they are in hospital then I will agree but the column header does not show that. Why would people who have 'recovered' be in hospital?

    You spelled it incorrectly. Its Ricoverati which means hospitalized. Recoverati means recovered.

    I'm going for double digit increase in cases this evening - be surprised if it did not follow the trend of other countries.

    That guy did go to a doctor looking to be tested and was given paracethamol and told to go home - im sure he thought he was ok

    No link. Someone I know who needs to be informed of this was given the update.

    Rang the hospital myself and they confirmed that it's closed and no one entering except next of kin only and critically ill.

    Waterford hospital has been on lockdown since December.

      It is; generally everyone who was admitted to hospital as a serious case got it.

      But, like in Ireland, eventually people will get treated at home instead with only the most serious ending up in hospital.
