    In fairness our infections per million are very similar to the U.K. (4.8 per million). The numbers appear to be right.

    Is there any website where you can click on a country and see their number of infections for each day?

    I never thought I’d say this, but I feel an excel spreadsheet coming on.

    Maybe more men smoke and suffer with chronic lung disease ?

    I understood that this was recognised as a factor in China already: far more Chinese men than women smoke.

    Nobody in Ireland has recovered yet.

    I thought the guy on Claire Byrne Show tonight had recovered?

    Yes, the concern over this outbreak is not for the relatively young and healthy people. It is over the infectiousness and risk it poses to vulnerable people.

    If you were to look at this from a very cold, detached and cynical perspective, it could all be a bit of a boon as so many elderly and already sick people might be killed off that the pensions burden would be significantly reduced and hospital places would open up again.

    But to look at it from a normal human perspective, you could be looking at a whole lot of personal tragedy.

    That makes no sense - This is going to cost an unspeakable amount of money

    The Johns Hopkins dashboard is pretty good, and if you check their Github page you can view the csv files with cases by day since around January. Pretty neat

    Recovering I assume as still in hospital, but what exactly defines "recovered"? A normal state of health as in no SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 traces I assume.

    Why would men be more likely to be ill with the virus than women are?

    Proving less fatal with women South Korean rates 1.0% Male in . Female 0.4% The reason likely is due to body mass. Body weight has a massive effect on mortality, its rarely stated for some reason

    What is recovery time?

    Google coronavirus and ace receptors, interesting read there on genetics that will explain a lot.

    CONTE TO SIGN MEASURE TO EXTEND MEASURES THROUGH COUNTRY


    If you were to choose the next country to have to implement such measures based on the rate of increase it would be Spain - then France - then Germany.

    Europe faces crisis on multiple fronts because of this.

    It's a fact that significantly more men than women were ill/dying with the virus in China. I thought that was curious. It was hypothesized that may have been because far more men there smoke than women. I still found it curious so I was wondering whether or not similar was happening in Italy.

    Fair enough, my apologies to you. Was more so directed and a group of people in here rather than you specifically.

    Since there's already 2 strains and you can allegedly get both then I assume that is a possibility.



    Fair enough. That still doesn't make it factual. That's not how science works.

    https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-03-05/chinese-scientists-say-second-coronavirus-strain-more-dangerous

    And a paper refuting some of the claims.

    http://virological.org/t/response-to-on-the-origin-and-continuing-evolution-of-sars-cov-2/418

    Hey sorry for getting back to you so late. I was wading through that article and the subsequent follow up (which was at times mind boggling) by one of the authors of the paper published in the NSR. Interesting article to say the least, and I certainly look forward to the full length exchange in the NSR but I feel like the authors of the original paper responded adequately to the concerns highlighted by MacLean et al - Again this is kind of on the bleeding edge of research on this topic. I will keep MacLeans assertion in mind when I'm referring to the other article in the future.

    Did you read the reply to the MacLean paper by Jian Lu? Interesting retort :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,137 ✭✭✭✭niallo27


    Currently 87%

    Well if this stays like this and let's say 40% of the population get it then that still means 95% of the population will have little heath issues. Its bad but not end of the world stuff.

    When someone recovers from this. Are they still a carrier of the virus and can they transmit it to others?

    If Boris Johnson was off to visit Trump on the taxpayers dime at a time of national crisis he would be slated by most. Same if Trump went to visit Boris.

    But when Leo does heads off on business class flights, expensive restaurants and 5 star hotels to the Us he gets a free pass.

    Amazing.




    But the Headline was



    '' Leo cuts short visit to Washington to stay at home to deal with Coronavirus''


    Turns out he just flew out on the next flight a few hours late, what a tool.


    But at least the headline is technically true. What an idiot, you know it was planned too.

    It's possible COVID-19 in general could cause a global recession even before the Italian lock down.

    Agreed that we were heading towards recession but I think Italy lockdown will just give a booster to the eurozone decline into recession. Spain also


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    Really feel sorry for the US in this Pandemic, currently showing very widespread distribution, but fairly low numbers (so far).
    This will increase dramatically in this next week and onwards, across all those locations, hundreds each, then thousands and so on.

    EvVsthk.png

    50 states, with many not available to avail of healthcare (even aquiring advice), it could get real messy.
    The only plus side is they're fans of storing provisions, a hark back to the days of early settlers.

    Money would be on the good aul Amish doing the best from it, no crying there if their iPhone has a cracked screen.

    It's not hysterical nonsense. Italy's economy will collapse that's almost certain. Look at the death rate, the cost of lockdown.

    You're stock reply to everything is hysterical nonsense. I'm not in the least hysterical. Just dry Cork Bol*ixes like you who reply with one emoji replies need to be put in their place.

    Nobody who tested positive has recovered yet.

    He has limited symptoms so far - only a fever.

    Will probably take weeks for him to be virus free. Up to 6 weeks Honahan said recently. It's why it is such a dangerous virus as people with little or no symptoms can infect people who can have serious and deadly symptoms.
