Amd the reason I gave them credit was because one of the nurses gave info about government measures that were going to take effect hours before the official announcement, the same with one of the dead cases.

What dead cases?

So practically all our cases are directly linked with Italy but supposedly not stopping flights sooner has made no difference to the spread? Hmmm.... maybe...

You don’t think the reason it’s all being linked to Italy is because they are only testing people who have links to Italy? :pac:

Somehow I doubt they will. Sitting behind a screen scaring others is a 'buzz' for some.

Sorry for any confusion, it wasn’t in this country.
It was some audios from some workers in a hospital in Vitoria, txagorritxu.
But if the info in the medical procedure was false, it’s obvious the whole audio was so.

Temp is a sign of infection but if a temp is to high and not brought down it can damage organs paracetamol is so important if suffering a high temp ! Especially in babies and children. It is going short I have just heard from a friend who works in pharmacy. I would urge parents to have calpol for kids and tablets for adults.

I was in lidl on my lunch break and they have multiple shelves of panadol- normal, actifast and another one. Same in boots, a whole stand dedicated to panadol extra alone, tonnes of boxes. Thats not even taking into account the generic paracetamol, paralief etc available otc. Maybe there will be shortages at some point, but at least in dublin there is no sign of shortages currently.

Question: Is there an official line on folks with Asthma - are they higher risk or not?

So today the UK has gone from 319 to 373, and officially we're still on 24 (HSE) cases for now!

We only went up three cases yesterday, so I wonder will there be a massive jump or hopefully no increase at all? Irish figures coming in @6pm.

Which means we should not of stopped flights from and to Italy (or even told people on these flights to self quarantine automatically) because . . . . . .

Up to 38.9c (102f) it's best not to inhabit the fever in a normally healthy adult but over that it becomes dangerous and need reducing. But a severe headache may necessitate medication at the lower temperature.

That's the kind of thing I've read too - papers arguing that it's often counter-productive to use antipyretics in adults, barring extreme temperatures.

Low-grade fever may well be best left alone in adults as it appears to enhance the immune response.

Still, for anyone reading - ask your doctor, and don't take advice from me!

whatawaster · 10-03-2020 05:12PM

Is there a press conference today?

Not yet the shortages will be with the manufacturer at this point we won’t see it yet. But we will notice it in time and it won’t just be paracetamol so much medication and excipients come from India and China .

I am due to go to London for 3 nights this Saturday. Am I being over cautious in thinking about not going?

Same here, was 100% going yesterday but starting to think it may not be worth it to be honest. Surely only a matter of time before it ramps up here and there - that said when you look at percentages it’s still incredibly low.

How many thousands are infected in Ireland now?

tobefrank321 · 10-03-2020 05:13PM

If the Navan cases are true those clowns put friends, family, work colleagues and general acquaintances at risk and many are probably going through mental hell at the minute.

Self centred pr*cks.

If schools aren’t closing, why are secondary school students being instructed to take ALL their books home today? Hmm

We literally cant do that.

We dont have the resources.

This thread goes around in circles.

I understand the thread is moving quickly but whats the point in people looking for information here when people dont bother to read the replies.

Why is the death rate so high in Italy?

It's got about a 3% fatality rate. That's higher than the 1918 pandemic.

Even among young people it still has about a 0.2% death rate, which may not sound much, but makes it among the most dangerous things that young people currently face.

This would mean that if 20% of all people in Ireland aged between 25 to 44 contacted covid-19, you could expect about 558 deaths of this demographic :eek: And that's with a fully functioning health service!
