Europe and Ireland have a lot more social cohesion than the UK does, the impact of closing schools is less as friends and families step up and help, and even though we do have social issues with kids, they are miniscule in nature compared to the impact having all the UK's schoolkids at home for a prolonged period would cause. Remember the Pea and Rice riots et al of recent times, something truly unique to UK culture, so I can understand their reticence in doing this as it will likely suck up Police and other resources through an increase in crime and anti-social behaviour it causes.

So ... European / Irish kids well behaved, Uk kids not so. That's the reason :rolleyes:

Theyd really wanna let us know where the community transmissions are at this point. Ridiculous

YFlyer · 13-03-2020 07:04PM

20 new cases for coronavirus. No mention of locations.

wadacrack · 13-03-2020 07:04PM

How many of the 119 are healthcare workers?

and I read a few places that heat , summer in Europe will have no effect on spread - I'm confused

Don't think anyone really knows

solidasarock · 13-03-2020 07:05PM

I wonder if there will be another quiet weekend for the Virus this time

eviltimeban · 13-03-2020 07:05PM

20... isn't bad. Is it? Less than the day before.

I mean, it's not good to have more than 0, but in fairness after yesterday I was expecting in the region of 50 - 70 new cases.

considering brazil just jumped 87 cases and is currently 30 degrees..

Didnt say it would stop it, but slow it down hopefully.

BorneTobyWilde · 13-03-2020 07:06PM

Ireland is doing okay, so far. Only 20 today, I was expecting 90 plus today, for them to double daily

completedit · 13-03-2020 07:06PM

Yeah that’s very low.

They're no longer providing locations.

Some here were expecting hundreds.

The way thing are going, my guess would be 200-250 million globally over next 12-18 months.

Italy is testing a lot of people, they probably have the most accurate data out there at the moment
Same rumors about China underestimated numbers when in fact they stopped the spreading and never had the hundred thousands of undetected cases that people were talking about

Have spoken to people out their, anyone with mild symptoms aren't getting tested They would take up resources. Which is understandable. If you look at the data younger people being tested is very low compared to South Korea and Germany

Won't seem bad in a weeks time.

Juicyfruit · 13-03-2020 07:07PM

20 including 4 healthcare workers, that’s not bad at all. I was expecting 45+

completedit · 13-03-2020 07:07PM

That’s mad. How has that happened?

igCorcaigh · 13-03-2020 07:07PM

Seems like a big percentage of HCW though

Definitely better numbers than a lot were predicting anyway.

Appears to be very few infections in African countries. is this down to poor testing or diagnosis?

Wonder what the testing figures are now

SleetAndSnow · 13-03-2020 07:08PM

Could be a big jump in coming days, anybody can now get tested, no longer a case of having to have been in the country

Exclamation Marc · 13-03-2020 07:08PM

Just waiting for the lads cryptically saying they knew what today's number was going to be without telling anyone the number to triumphantly stride in swinging their d!cks like they're Nostradamus.

700,000 - 800,000 was the best case scenario.

Pacing Mule · 13-03-2020 07:08PM

The rush to be first to post 20 new cases!

MarkY91 · 13-03-2020 07:08PM

Do you think the children hospital will stop parents visiting sick kids?

My brothers son has been in hospital since birth in December. He said there's no way it can happen but isn't thinking rationally. I explained that it's surely going to happen eventually as people walking into the wards are putting the sick kids at risk.

.

20 is good, but realistically we need to be testing a lot more, GP's /Pharmacies or somewhere to get an accurate picture.

Xertz · 13-03-2020 07:08PM

The other problem is that if this containment strategy here is successful, and we do keep numbers low, there's a big risk of "Ah sure it's grand" mentality kicking in and people behaving stupidly and then we'll get a spike like everyone else.

Was in a hardware store this evening getting a few bits n pieces and had to sign my name date and time on a sheet of paper. A lot of writing on it but the jist Of it was I cannot sue them in the future should I get the virus. Everyone had to do it.
