I know was in 4 days in ward before they tested and moved. I live just up from the hospital and loads of hospital staff live are around here. Lots of shops are few supermarkets all in walking distance......

Word is there are a few waiting for results now and in isolation

Are you saying that that patient in Waterford was in a ward you were working on? Your post doesn't make total sense

Sorry using phone. The patient was on a ward for 4 days. I don't work there I just live up the road

No doubt a lot of people on here will find this very good RTE clip explaining the various types of transmission and contact tracing a bit simplistic but, in fairness, it's aimed at a more general audience

China update

24 new confirmed cases, 22 new deaths (22 in Hubei)

Yesterday was
19 new confirmed cases, 17 new deaths (17 in Hubei)

So an increase!

I wonder is there any chance this corona virus might help Mayo win Sam this year?

Will a death from a patient with Covid-19 or a TD getting a positive test result finally force the Government to take the appropriate action?

I don't think even that would.

So does this indicate the turnaround in testing?

Someone had suspicions about Waterford a few days ago. The rumour was that Waterford hospital was on lock-down. It wasn’t. But I was able to confirm that it was one ward that was being isolated.

See below:

”It isn't confirmed yet in Waterford, and from what I gather, it is one ward.”

Then today: 10-03-2020
Waterford See link above from Spookwoman:

"It has emerged this evening that a male being treated at University Hospital Waterford has tested positive for Covid-19.
WLR News understands that the man has been a patient there for several days."

...hmmm, that definitely took more that 24 hours. Was he tested more than once? Anyone know?

Similar to this, there was another poster referencing a case in Drogheda, but there was no report of it online from what I could see, however it turns out that there was and this has been the case since Friday.

Has Hubei restarted its manufacturing industry or is the region still on lockdown?

It would mean thinking outside the box instead of just going down the usual vaccine route. Something (perhaps a medical intervention) that would disrupt transmission of the virus and slow down the spread.

So far, the virus has had a free run at things because it caught everyone off guard.

Handwashing?

Reckon that we'll need to combine the CoVid19 and Brexit threads if the UK MPs start going down in any numbers.

What's the age breakdown of the House of Commons anyway, I know the House of Lords will surely be ****ed.

Yes, the way i read that - community transmission case that did not meet crieria for testing

The current positivity rate in those that did meet the criteria and were tested is very low at 1.9% I agree that community testing needs to start but there would need to be some criteria around it also. Maybe anyone with suggestive symptoms could be referred by their GP? Important to bear in mind that there's quite a bit involved in testing eg staff (clinical and admin) change of PPE for each patient, specimen transport, testing itself and communication of results.

A journalist on Sky News now is saying to expect a lot more British MP's to get Covid-19.

No, something medical or scientific. If they could develop a drug that reduces the symptoms of CV for example or speeds up the recovery.

They just need to find something that interferes with the transmission of the virus.

An infrected friend of the woman who brought the virus back to Vietnam last week flew has flown back here in a private jet at a cost of 370k USD.

"On March 2, the unnamed woman developed a cough, but didn’t have a fever. She was admitted to a hospital in London for treatment. On March 7, she started coughing a lot, but still had no fever. After hearing about Nhung being infected with the novel coronavirus, she returned to the hospital and informed doctors about her contact history. The London hospital required her to be isolated at home but no Covid-19 test was done.

The woman’s family then rented a private plane to fly her from London to Vietnam. The plane landed at the Tan Son Nhat International Airport at 8:15 a.m. Monday. Health authorities in Ho Chi Minh City quarantined her at the Cu Chi field hospital and took her samples for testing. The tests came back positive the same day."

Nothing that interesting. Just a very rich family. Better than lying like her friend did. She could end up in prison.

Paddys Day Parade has been called off where i am (by the mayor!). I think everyone is relieved to be honest.. apart from pubs understandably.

Thankfully this thread has calmed down a bit . The scaremongor and drama queen accusers cant exactly troll anymore . I'm sure they can see what the rest of us could see two weeks ago (and more). Those of us who are lucky enough to have parents left dont want them going out with this virus.. not like that. Were all on the same side .
P.S i wasn't having a go at anyone with my troll comment ,i dont have time to waste with any kind of bickering nonsense.

i think we could do with some sunshine or even a slight rise in average tempetares for march this year to help slow this thing down a but that wont happen unless the gulf stream rises a bit which currently isn't happening.

You don't appear to have even read the discussion I was engaged in. I was talking in the context of the Sky News report speculating that millions of people could die worldwide in a rebound of Covid 19 in the autumn. I was saying this would give scientists time to try and find something or a procedure that would interfere with or slow down transmission of the virus, whilst still working on development of a vaccine.

How can Mayo win an All-Ireland when there won't be a championship? Or any sport for about a year.

They can win it by saying afterward "it's not our fault no one else turned up".

Japan, South Korea both reporting sharp increase in new cases today.

Japan reports it's highest daily total of new cases so far.

China also reports minor increase but significantly 6 of those cases are in Beijing.
