Oh well thats alright so. Just 250 to 1000 people.

Yep that's my prediction. It may well be less than that.

The Independent headlines at the weekend suggested way way way more.

Many people here believe it will be far more than 1000.

What do you think Duggie?

Watch our EU politicians cause this graph to directly track the European Covid-19 daily case rate in the coming days.

Exactly. Anything but easy.

There is a difference between a respirator and a surgical mask.

Develop some critical thinking skills.

https://theprepared.com/gear/reviews/best-gas-mask-respirator-survival/

So masks are crucial for health and social care workers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill – ideally both the patient and carer should have a mask.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/08/coronavirus-face-mask-facts-spreading-covid-19

The following link provides a simple but clear explanation on masks, respirators, specs and one way and two way protection.

https://fastlifehacks.com/n95-vs-ffp/

Uses for Masks:

Masks are loose fitting, covering the nose and mouth
Designed for one way protection, to capture bodily fluid leaving the wearer
Example – worn during surgery to prevent coughing, sneezing, etc on the vulnerable patient
Contrary to belief, masks are NOT designed to protect the wearer
The vast majority of masks do not have a safety rating assigned to them (e.g. NIOSH or EN)

Uses for Respirators:

Respirators are tight fitting masks, designed to create a facial seal
Designed for two way protection, by filtering the air breathed in
These are designed protect the wearer (when worn properly), up to the safety rating of the mask
Available as disposable, half face or full face

Personally having seen how the spread was stopped or contained in Macau, Taiwan and Hong Kong where everyone wears a mask, I believe they are useful but like vaccinations, the more people use it the better the results in reducing spreading by asymptomatic or incubating patients.

I still firmly believe that we'll have very few deaths in Ireland directly related to Covid19. 1000 at the very very max.
I'd be surprised if we even got more than 250.

Flu' is 500-600 annually and 1000 even at a mortality rate of 4% is 25,000 cases here. Hoping to see very low numbers myself, ideally single figures but in the real world under 100.

I like aircraft. I dislike aircraft carrying passengers from a CORONAVIRUS RED ZONE.

There's a difference.

At a 1% mortality rate, 1000 deaths means an outbreak of 100,000

How do you think the gov are going to contain an outbreak of that size?

I'd imagine a fair proportion would head for Europe as refugees, preferring to go there then wait to go back to prison. Not sure of the rest. A lot would probably be political prisoners. It would be odd if they release hardened criminals yet kept political prisoners locked up. But I wouldn't put it past the Iranians.

During WWII the soviets let hardened criminals out of the gulag to fight, but not the political prisoners.

Practice. Let's give the people of Ireland some credit and responsibility too.

How many do you think? My max number was for all of 2020. As I said I would be surprised to see a number > 250.

I really hope so.

I haven't really read much today on the virus as I was feeling very negative last night particularly after reading about the prioritisation of ICU beds etc in Italy.

Same as that. Definitely accessing the thread less. Do not think there is any positive way of looking at this virus at the minute. We are on the wrong side of the curve.

Mentioning the homeless is always worth a few likes I suppose.
Your self employed you say and what’s coming will affect you, and yet predict recovery. Your a financial advisor, I’d imagine you will be in demand throughout a recession.
I’m not self employed and my industry is vulnerable to the economy. I’d like not to have issues paying a mortgage, and also not have a spike in suicide rates as seen during the last recession

There you go again making presumptions you are not in a position to make.

Please share why I will be fine and lets not forget that you answer why I was ok in 2008?

I can answer the question for you if you like ?

You clearly lack the capacity for self reflection and are just self absorbed in yourself so find it difficult to, as they say , put yourself in somebody else shoes. So you create a narrative that suits what you want, wrap your values around that narrative and then just try to attack different thinking posters with ambiguous insinuations that can not be confirmed but mud is hard to shake off online without evidence I am not able or willing to provide.

But please do continue to make assumptions on things you dont understand, it certainly allows people to draw their own conclusions on your motives.

As i've said before, once the **** hits the fan and hospitals start to get full, people will don the green jersey so to speak; I honestly can't see large scale rioting for instance here.

But it is going to get tough.

Officially a Pandemic now.

So a large outbreak will be contained by practise? What?

I guess we'll see somewhere in the region of 50% infected this year, and about 20,000 deaths.
And I think in the long run, most if not all of us will get it.

The Jury is out on children spreading the disease but the WHO China mission findings suggest that it is rare... A nugget of good news there.

Not quite.

The following Lancet paper details a study of a family group (5 of whom were diagnosed with the coronavirus) including two children aged 7 and 10 years - found that that the two asymptomatic children had ground-glass lung opacities identified by CT scan (compatible with changes seen in viral pneumonia)

The study of the family group detailed that the findings were consistent with person-to-person transmission of this novel coronavirus in hospital and family settings

You're giving us too much credit - all it took was a foot of snow for a lidl to be levelled, there was no shortage of anything or public fear of anything at that point either.

How many waiting today.
