    Never mind the virus, this thread is growing exponentially.

    And it seems to be giving board's servers similar strain to the one the virus is giving to Italian hospitals ...

    Hope other countries follow Italy and close all borders.

    Simon Harris appears to have no rational idea.

    Don't put words in my mouth, thanks.

    And you can follow or ignore whoever's advice you like. Thankfully, you're not making any decisions for the whole country.

    You. Just. Mean. The. Economy. And probably some business of your own. No shame in that. But grandiose claims for PHET when their conclusions have been challenged publicly by medical people just gives the game away.

    Welcome to ignore.

    If anyone is having problems accessing boards.ie just hold down F5 on your keyboard and sing happy birthday to me 2 times all at the same time as the others. It will resolve the issue.


    Please don't take my advice.

    Not sure if anyone has posted this, interesting what a young seemingly healthy man went through!

    https://www.facebook.com/146505212039213/posts/7287158667973796/

    Thanks for this. He got three stages of sickness. Started of as a normal cold. Thought he was getting better, then got the flu and then progressed to a Pneumonia stage.

    What got me, he said he felt like he had only one lung and could barely breath and, just standing up from rest was breathing heavily. I can imagine the nausea if he was unable to breath properly.

    I’ve asked this question a few times now and I’ve done some reading but it’s hard to get a definitive answer to be honest.
    There was an article two days ago about 6 cases in wuhan that were diagnosed with c19, recovered, were discharged, and then ended up with c19 again.
    Problem is were they misdiagnosed as being recovered? I’ll try find a link.

    Its too early to find this out really, I think in a years time there will be quite a few peer approved articles on it, but the freaky thing at the moment is, we just don't know.

    Italy closed all borders at a much later stage. It's hardly an example to be praised.
    You'd also swear only Ireland has its borders open and its schools.

    Problem is were they misdiagnosed as being recovered? I’ll try find a link.

    First passage from guardian.co.uk:
    Q. Can you get coronavirus more than once?

    A. One report I read said there was a 14% chance. Then I read another report that said it was actually a recurrence of the original infection that hid up in your body.

    Second bit of info:
    Can you get COVID-19 more than once?
    In February, rumors swirled about a Japanese woman who allegedly developed COVID-19 twice. Experts concluded that it was most likely a relapse rather than a second infection.

    In general, reinfection seems highly unlikely: Most infectious diseases trigger a permanent immune response during recovery, Rivers says. If anyone were to get COVID-19 a second time, it’d be immunocompromised individuals—though, she says, that’d still be quite rare.

    She was in 10 Downing Street last Thursday apparently with Boris and started feeling ill on Friday. I'd probably have the same reaction.

    I’d have said “just the economy” if that’s what I meant. So GTFO please.

    It's been stated that if they start these measures too early people will become fatigued and will eventually lead to people not heeding the advice.

    A lock down would then not be successful.

    If or when these measures are taken they will want to be for the shortest possible period. They won't shut down things until it's absolutely necessary.

    This is very odd advice from the HSE. The sooner you lockdown the sooner its over. The longer you postpone lockdown the more cases you will have and the longer the lockdown will be.

    The logic behind it is flawed

    3rd bit of info seems to be same Japanese case:

    Can you get coronavirus twice?
    Japan is one of the countries worst hit by the coronavirus outbreak with 497 confirmed cases.

    In Osaka, a woman in her 40s has tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time.
    The tour bus operator was first diagnosed with coronavirus in late January and was discharged from hospital on February 1.
    But she has been reinfected leading to fears many of those who have recovered could be diagnosed with the potentially fatal virus again.

    Philip Tierno Jr, professor of microbiology and pathology at New York University, said: “Once you have the infection, it could remain dormant and with minimal symptoms.
    And then you can get an exacerbation if it finds its way into the lungs.”

    Recovery rates from COVID-19 had boomed in the last few weeks with more than 62,000 people given the all-clear.
