What’s with the Cheltenham obsession? English football went ahead all weekend all over the country. Liverpool are playing Madrid on Wednesday evening!

Why so obsessed about that one event?

Gambling and betting on steroids

Where are you getting your suspicions from, this thread?

The NVRL were performing tests over the weekend.

I heard Simon Harris gave them the weekend off so they would artificially keep the figures low so that him and Leo can get loads of tax from tourists coming for paddys day.

So I did.

I still can't fathom the comment about having zero recoveries in 10 days. My mind is blown.

Someone ring the NVRL there will ye lads, and ask them to scream into the falcon tubes of COVID19 Isolate "NO ONE IS RECOVERING. COULD YOU BE LESS SEVERE!" in the hope we can berate it into submission with the power of human speech.

Are they still actually ill, or are some just in isolation?

South Korea are the one country giving me hope that this might not be as bad as the projections. China not so much due to the unreliability of their government and their unique, unreplicable response to the outbreak.

The thing is South Korea got stuck in very early, Europe has sat on its hands for four weeks, it is unknown if we can pull it back from this point. Also, we have to content with Italy which is going to be like an open wound constantly spreading the virus to other regions, which will undermine any effort we might make.

Somebody or some nation has to take the lead and implement some tough decisions. The rest will follow. Hopefully

So going to Madrid in May would be a bad idea?

nthclare · 09-03-2020 02:58PM

Some of the elite will be rubbing their hands in glee with peasants in isolation and being herded into pens like chickens and cattle.

We've gone from being ok because we're on an Island to 20%+ getting sick...

Yet supposedly some of them said nothing to worry about it only effects 2% of the population.

But yet now they say 1.9 million could get it.

When did 2% which is 96,600 become 1,900000

We've a great accountant running the statistics, this is the bullsh1t we're all putting up with.

But sure it'll be grand

Why not go to Milan on a skiing trip now? Flights from €30.

Apparently China expects no further cases after the end of March. It will pass when it's done.

Someone one from Poland said Nostradamus predicted this and this virus would be short lived.I think Nostradamus predictions were vague though, still interesting.

2 Dublin bus vehicles are under quarantine, 1 in C'road and 1 in D'brook.
I would expect the numbers infected to rise significantly now.

Were the buses coughing or sneezing?

How about a two week cruise that you'd be paid to go on?

I think the market will correct by at least 30%, probably more. There is going to be mass unemployment and thousands of companies going broke. The amount of debt due to stupidly cheap credit is going to see an implosion in defaults. Central banks probably should never prop up economies, it just makes the inevitable resulting crash far worse and of longer duration to recovery.

The equivalent of Lehman Bros employees clearing out their desks in 2008 will be Facebook workers walking out of the Menlo Park Office in California.

About the US outbreak:
"it looks like the large majority of current cases in Washington State derive from a single introduction event.
this introduction event was likely mid-Jan
https://bedford.io/blog/ncov-cryptic-transmission/
even if it wasn't WA1 that introduced the virus, this level of genetic diversity alongside frequent positive specimens argues for a sizable outbreak
Knowing that transmission was initiated on Jan 15 allows to estimate the total number of infections that exist in this cluster today. Preliminary analysis puts this at 570 with an 90% uncertainty interval of between 80 and 1500 infections."

Now I wonder if any spread occurred from the US to Ireland and other European countries

Wuhan shake or Elbow...
Have a look

This has already taken off around campus's in Ireland

The stock exchange crash today is not just because of coronavirus. The Saudis have upped production of oil reducing the price to spite the Russians. Coronavirus not helping I’d imagine.

Oh no, about 20% need hospitalization. 2% die.

nthclare wrote: »

An assumption that about 1/5th of the population contract it, which is a reasonable assumption based on diseases with a similarish R0 value.

Don't worry about your pension. Chances are you might not ever be around to see it.

if there is a big jump today its reasonable to asume there was'nt adequate testing over the weekend.
How can there be much faith in the HSE if they cant be bothered to staff the labs in a crisis?

The HSE don't fully staff or fund hospital labs as it is. Where do you think extra staff are going to come out of just because of a crisis.

No, it's virus heaven. Viruses don't love low humidity environments. We are walking bags of water.

Outside of the body I should have meant in the open environment. For flu transmission higher humidity limits spread. Whether this applies to the coronavirus is another matter of course.

I'd imagine Northern Italy is like hell on earth right now, everyone sick around you, elderly dying all round, no bars, gyms, shops etc open. I'd say any Italian that can is getting the fook outa dodge, nice 2 week break in Dublin while the worst blows over.

Would anyone in Europe decide to "escape" to Ireland today, knowing that it has: number of cases already in double digits, direct flights to the US and the UK (which both also have cases); permanent shortage of hospital beds ?

That elbow thing has the potential of being worse than a handshake. They tell you to cough into the crook of your elbow.... then you hit your elbow area against someone else's.

Not dodgy at all... why not share tissues, next? (Ok, I am exaggerating, but you see what I mean...)
