[F] a) Incubation period for most people is less than 7 days but for almost everyone (or everyone, we're not sure) is about 14 days so people infected today may only develop symptoms on 30th March (roughly).

Perhaps a typo here. Could you clarify please?

Does anyone know if the border closures in Europe are for public traffic only or will freight be impacted too. If that gets locked down then supply chains will start to fail. I presume they will let trucks carrying goods through

The market is going to rocket tomorrow because the US Fed is going to inject $700bn of QE and has unveiled a load of other measures today too.

Going to be really strong days on the financial markets for that reason.

Is that why futures right now are showing the US markets collapsing in the morning again?

Good job you're not an economist.

We had prepared for a hard border. We have plenty in reseeve. We are fine in that regard.

Another thing that worries me is the reality of economics and how it isn't as simple as people think just to shut down various places.

All these at risk groups such as the elderly, disabled etc rely on benefits to keep them alive. If non essentials roles are locked down I don't know what will happen to these things with a reduced tax rate that will make the recession look like a laugh

Gardai, healthcare workers etc may volunteer to keep working without pay but what about the various supplies needed to aid them.

As said this is coming from my view that a 2/3/4 week lockdown is grand in theory but I'm astonished at the amount of people I've been talking to that believe this magically means it will allow the virus to "blow over" once lockdown is lifted it only takes a handful to start another blitz of it again

Can we handle possible months of continuous lockdowns? I don't know

Get the ECB to print like fcuk. Keep as many people alive as possible. And worry about the bill afterwards.

Yes this is all well and good. However my point still stands that taking steps to try to slow it down via lockdowns will very likely mean this is going to be far far longer than 2 weeks. I'm meeting far too many that think this will a couple weeks and it will blow over.

The approach of managing it numbers wise needs the realization that this will need to be maintained a lot longer than people are thinking and most likely will have accept that said services will very likely see a drop in standards due to the economic knock on cause 2/3 weeks ain't gonna hack it unfortunately.

2 weeks was never realistic. You're likely looking at 2 months with a drip feed of exposure to the population over that time.

Probably very few.

My wife is showing every symptom of the disease, was told yesterday that she would be tested in the next day or 2. Didn’t happen today, hopefully tomorrow

The reason it’s important for us is that she is on anti inflammatory steroids because she has asthma and thats fine unless she has coronavirus where these can potentially make her much worse.

Scared of catching it?

Scared of the economy?

Scared of losing your job?

Scared of no food on the shelves?

I'm scared of 3 of the 4 above...

Taking the right precautions so confident of not catching it..

I wish I could say the same but I don't think anyone can feel confident of not catching it, risks can be hugely reduced but everybody has a risk all the same!
It's extremely contagious. I am very scared

It's airborne which I didn't know so if someone was In a shop and coughed, it stays in the air for hours... hard not to catch

I’m not confident of anything right now

Lombardy is one of the richest places in Europe and they are devastated. Nobody is going to escape this without some personal tragedy unless treatment becomes available very soon

Am I alone in thinking that it's kind of odd that Russia is not reporting many cases relative to their population?

Turkey is the same, but Erdo is a moron, so feck that, just like Putin I suppose.

I for one don't believe the stats. But nothing I can do. Any word from either State on media anywhere?

That is exactly what I was saying about 4 threads ago!
Apparently closed borders and closed travel down fast. But their sheer lack of cases for the size of their population is unreal. Conspiracy theory?

We have really good, world class medics here. We always have. It isn't recognised in Ireland but it is recognised internationally just how good our training is and how good Irish doctors are.

It appears to be the same with Irish nurses too who are in high demand abraod but obviously I know it best from my own friends who have emigrated since 2007.

Oh I agree we have to roll with it C, we have no other means at the moment. I'm just pointing out it will need to be a lot longer than 2 weeks and this talk of "weekly reviews" well I believe we could be looking at a lot of extensions, most likely coupled with a lift then a necessary restart of another lockdown(s) due to various new flare ups

derossi · 15-03-2020 11:53PM

Btw, you don't have to say about a test, I have been washing hands last few weeks, using anti bac, have a supply of foods. I was never a bring on the end of times kind of fella, I just bought a wee bit extra the last few weeks. I was loking in the press tonight, I was self isolated for two weeks, I will be grand. end of week will be big choices but i'll live.

Jesus id snap your hand off for this to be all done and dusted in 2 months. I think we are looking at more alomg the lines of august/sept before we see any normality.

skimpydoo · 15-03-2020 11:53PM

When this has all blown over does anyone fancy meeting up a for drink in one of the pubs/bars that announced that they were closing yesterday. We can put faces to the names on here.

Cork Boy 53 · 15-03-2020 11:53PM

Anyone know what the recovery rate among people that have been put on ventilators is? Or is there any data for this?

We still need to keep pharma plants etc fed with material. They'll still need the logistic routes open. I don't see the point in blocking freight.

I believe it only applies to people crossing the border. Supply chains are seen as essential services.

Slovakia is only for public traffic. I assume supply chains will be maintained.

Thousands out of work and more to follow in retail in the days to come, awful time for the country.

We're about to go back years economically, high levels of unemployment etc.

Hopefully we can get over it in the years to come

Loads of people worried about this. Came through 2008 recession and it wasn’t pretty but we’ll do it again if we have to. Irish people are resilient and smart and good natured when push comes to shove. The alternative is the Uk way which seems to be let people die. It’s such a shame because we had made good progress even though our health system never seemed to get fixed no matter how much money they poured at it and housing too another disaster but talk for another day. Right now. Though I hope the gov. help the renters to get through this crisis as well as the mortgage people. All that matters now is that we rally round, help each other, stay at home, be sensible, do the right thing and we will get back on track. Every country is battling this.. unfortunately..

I have a feeling Chloroquine will be the first treatment released to the general public in the battle against COVID19. The UK have already banned the export of chloroquine and stock pilling it.

I believe many research groups are waiting for the data to come back at the end of this month from trails.

Spanish Eyes · 15-03-2020 11:55PM

Not being a sycophant or anything, but this place is good for those in self isolation, working from home, and so on.

Just asking the mods and those who have control to keep this thread open for the duration please whatever the cost is in relation to other threads.

Just saying, that some kind of interraction on a common issue is good for the soul if people are locked down.
