STOP!! You are diluting the hype

Have a feeling the spread in Ireland won't get much worse, if at all. Usually hear of suspected cases during the day but seems a lot quieter today.

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.

Lets be real, that was opportunism more than need.

Not quite.

The following Lancet paper details a study of a family group (5 of whom were diagnosed with the coronavirus) including two children - 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

Thanks for sharing. I've read something similar regarding asymptomatic patients with "ground glass" lung opacities. Does that affect people for the rest of their life as in lung capacity or does it have no effect. It's really scary if so.

I see Slovakia is having all people returning from certain countries quarantined for 14 days.

Are we doing anything like this here?

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.

My lack of self reflection and my own self absorption is how you survived 2008?!!!

To be fair your response is the equivalent of bringing a shotgun to a water pistol fight.

Self absorbed and putting myself in other peoples shoes is exactly what you need to do as well.

The slow spread of CV means that business will continue as normal for a long time, even a couple of months more. Ideal conditions for spread by the way. Eventually more and more will get sick, most will get over it. But, our hospitals and healthcare systems will become completely overwhelmed.

Because of the relatively slow spread of this, its going to take a lot of people some time to process that it actually might eventually infect them. Evidence of this mindset is demonstrated by a small minority on this thread. To them its still an abstract issue.

How do you think the economy is going to get on if we don't contain it? You think we can just all not talk about it and it will be fine.

Now that the virus has a foothold in so many countries, the threat of a pandemic has become very real.

But it would be the first pandemic in history that could be controlled.

The bottom line is: we are not at the mercy of this virus.

The great advantage we have is that the decisions we all make – as governments, businesses, communities, families and individuals – can influence the trajectory of this epidemic.

We need to remember that with decisive, early action, we can slow down the virus and prevent infections. Among those who are infected, most will recover.

Of the 80,000 reported cases in China, more than 70% have recovered and been discharged.

It’s also important to remember that looking only at the total number of reported cases and the total number of countries doesn’t tell the full story.

Of all the cases reported globally so far, 93% are from just four countries.

This is an uneven epidemic at the global level.

Different countries are in different scenarios, requiring a tailored response.

The World Health Organization has said over 70% of people infected with the coronavirus in China have recovered

Good news

Opportunism that would would be significantly multiplied if we had a major corona outbreak here.

Crime will explode, look at the prison breakouts in italy for example

So going on the HSE recommendations if you have the symptoms you're fine unless you've been to an infected area or have been in direct contact with someone who has it.
Am I paranoid but both my kids have temperatures, coughs, sore throat, one has a croup cough he gets when he's stuck like this and he has an inhaler for.
So according to the HSE (or other health executives elsewhere) they're fine because they've not been to anywhere with it or (knowingly) being in contact with someone with it.

Paranoia level high :o

Had the same here today. One teenager child with symptoms. I asked how can I know if he has had contact with a known case as we don't know where they are. I was fobbed of with a vague answer that I would have been informed through tracing. It makes no sense that he is not being tested so the rest of us know what to do.

I was giving out about WHO's reluctance to declare a pandemic, but you can't argue with that, really

I hope lessons will be learned when this is all over.

The US, as of about 4 years ago, had spent 4 or 5 hundred million on anti terrorism measures per head of the of 9/11 fatalities.

I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't have been better spent on cancer research.
