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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Is.he right though

Was skeptical when I heard him say to act fast even of u get it wrong

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.

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.

I have friends who are doctors in the US hospital sector. It is beginning to dawn on their local hospitals how utterly F'ed they are. The US is going to be hit much, much, much harder than Italy or even Britain.

It may well bounce tomorrow but that's a day trade or a few days at most. As this unfolds in the US over the next year their markets are going to plummet.

100% , fûck them... only thing most publicans (and I know a few) are loyal to is the weight of their till... this will be proven..Seriously if there are any in your eye-line doing this, pick up the phone on the scumbags... remember, warm room, dozens in close proximity, less inhibitions.... not good. Happily be a ‘rat’ if it enables people staying alive and healthy.

[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).

Not understanding you here?? Are you saying the incubation period (time for exposure to onset of visible symptoms) is 7 days or 14 days for most?

Johns Hopkins was saying the median incubation period was 5.1 days with 97% showing symptoms by day 11.

whiskeyman · 15-03-2020 11:56pm

There's a lot of people worried now.
Myself included.
I can feel my chest tightening all day.

Please try get out for walks.
Put your phone down and give yourself a media blackout for a few hours if possible.

I know it's hard, but I've found it useful just trying to deal with everything day by day.
Deal with the facts you have today.
Try not to worry about tomorrow or after that. It's just to sore and hard to fathom now.
Focus on the now.

Best of luck everyone.
We will get through this with everyone's help.

We're going to be moving to a state where only essential workers are allowed out, where you can only got to supermarket or pharmacy.

David McWilliams had an article in the IT yesterday that QE should involve putting cash into the back accounts of the individuals. The Fed's QE is a bond buying stimulus which doesn't help the individual.

In any event, the Fed has its last roll of the dice here to keep the markets going, but covid19 is barely beginning in the US. This latest move will just inflate the bubble more and when it does crash, due to all this cheap money in the bubble, the effects will be devastating on the US.
