I also learnt that they arent used by medical personell for the most part as they are very hard to disinfect so more likely to cause spread

yeah i can understand that...like how are you supposed to disinfect the filters?

The Italian mayor of some city just said don't delay.

Has to be a serious case to me made for not leaving the morons who went to Cheltenham back into the country? Let them be rounded up and quarantined in a tent city in the middle of the racecourse , no loss. Insanely selfish on the part of the punters and pure greed from the organisers.

Great article in New York Post about Farr’s law and the decline of this virus

https://nypost.com/2020/03/08/coronavirus-going-to-hit-its-peak-and-start-falling-sooner-than-you-think/

That article was written by Michael Fumento a right wing business mouthpiece and lobbyist for Monsanto wouldn’t believe a word of it.
From Wikipedia below
42]

Monsanto controversy Edit
On January 13, 2006, Scripps Howard announced it would terminate its business relationship with Fumento and cease carrying his column. At issue were opinion columns Fumento had written concerning the biotechnology firm Monsanto Company while working at the Hudson Institute. The connection between Fumento and Monsanto was first revealed by investigative reporter Eamon Javers in Business Week,[43] although nowhere does it say there was a quid pro quo as many articles and blogs subsequently claimed.[44] General manager Peter Copeland explained that Fumento

did not tell SHNS editors, and therefore we did not tell our readers, that in 1999 Hudson received a $60,000 grant from Monsanto. ... Our policy is that he should have disclosed that information. We apologize to our readers.[45]

What is the projected trajectory and peak number expected for Italian cases now that they are flattening the curve?

JanuarySnowstor · 10-03-2020 11:57PM

Anyone know are dettol wipes still available....I don't see them in any supermarkets lately? ?

They already postponed Saint Patricks day. They didn't even cancel mardi gras in Sydney despite their massive Asian population and travel from China.

Reactive measures when and where they are needed. Not baton down the hatches nationwide for 6 months.

Australia had 10 active cases the day before Mardi Gras. Maybe half were in NSW. Cases might as well be international (relative to Europe)
People coming from Wuhan we’re self isolated. Easier to get people to comply when they’re not losing pay

That's surely a reason to limit the House of Commons then as that chamber mean MPs are sitting very close to each other. I wonder would it happen here in the dail even though each TD is sitting in a separate seat. Hopefullly it doesn't come to that.

Hope other countries follow Italy and close all borders.

Simon Harris appears to have no rational idea.

The people are dead, but the economy is alive.

This is not solely up to Simon Harris and to be honest I would hate to be him right now. This is totally unchartered territory.

I sure the government are heeding the best possible advice under the circumstances.

If you lockdown too early people won't listen, if you lockdown now how long do you do it for?

Start closing schools etc and you have a huge knock of effect to deal with, probably going to lose essential medical staff and front line workers who decide to stay home with their kids (and then all the staff who support that).

Businesses will have to close up and that will also impact vital services such as GP clinics, supermarkets, distribution, supply and manufacturing across the country.

They will do it if there's no other choice, they won't do it just to make people feel safer.

7 new cases in Canada (Alberta), all involving people who were travelling in either France, the Netherlands, Egypt, Iran, Taiwan, Germany, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama, Philippines and the United States

At least 30-40 cases worldwide today of tourists becoming infected after travelling to countries with no known community level transmission. UK, Germany, France, Egypt and the USA regularly popping up as some of such places. It is looking increasingly likely that USA and Egypt have very significant epidemics going on nationwide currently.

I think it varies from company to company. The company I work for said they will not shut under any circumstances and if anyone self isolates will only get the government sick pay and face disciplinary action upon return.

You should name and shame the company (anonymously obviously) and they will face the backlash of the public for suggesting they would punish someone for looking after their health.

In my opinion, it may be the planes that are guilty of efficently distributing the virus through air recirculation.

Simon Harris should be going door to door treating people. The fact that he isn’t makes him a terrible minister for health

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.

Don't know how you read into my post that I was praising Italy.

I'm not praising Italy.

Why wait till it gets out of control like in Italy before you do something about the spread.

Other countries, not just Ireland, should shut borders now, and be two weeks in front in the fight against the spread of the virus.

Why Cheltenham in particular? Why not all people travelling? Why not be triggered by all English football going ahead?

You’re not the first person to mention it, it’s just baffling why people care so much about that one event.

The guy who wrote this clearly doesn't understand what China has done and sill is doing to curve the progression. He is assuming it just happened.

He is also largly basing his argument on the completly fallacious statement that "clearly, flu is vastly more contagious than the new coronavirus".

However the clear consensus is that it is the other way around and Covid-19 is in fact significantly more contagious.
