    Is it easy enough for US citizens to fly back to the US from mainland Europe?

    Are you for real, the advice is to get tested, we are waiting at home and not going to gp, I’m fit and healthy but she isn’t and has respiratory issues. I’m not coming here to get in a row I’m looking for information

    Fair enough if you partner has respiratory issues and apologies. I was assuming both fit and healthy.

    Sorry bud, those are walkways not your own personal running track

    The walkways are for runners , cyclists and walkers. I keep to the most outward part of the walkway as i can and others for the most part do the same.

    But there are always those that think that are above everybody else. You sound like those type of people.

    I have to say I agree at this stage as there still seems to be a sense that we are doomed in some of the commentary. For those who really find all of this very distressing seeing the positive is even more important.

    Well for some it will only be minor symptoms others might be in ICU, everyone's experience will be different.

    Do we have a thread for useful, worthwhile, posts such as this one?

    This thread is intolerable to wade through with halfwits posting idle gossip as though it's peer reviewed.

    If you see a post that is useful reply to it and bump it up a few hundred pages so more will see it

    Shame.

    I was going to start a new thread for actual news where people can only post with sources provided.

    I suppose it'd just descend into more disagreement, arguments and then back to a free for all like this thread.

    It'd only work if people PMed their source/post to moderators and the mod then added it to one of those closed threads where nobody else could post.

    Germany to begin airlift to bring it's citizens abroad home.

    From tomorrow all stores in Germany will close except for supermarkets and pharmacies.

    Isn’t “airlift” such a hyperbolic word to use. They are not using helicopters. I guess using the word “fly” wouldn’t get newspapers as many hits...

    The vast vast majority of people who get this virus will make a full recovery. That is the positive you need to hang onto. I'm not in any way diminishing this thing, but for an individual peace of mind I think it is important to remember that.
    Anxiety can also be debilitating and dangerous.

    There seem to about 35 teams worldwide at present and probably more looking at all aspects of it. No idea about research here but if you just Google "coronavirus research" you'll find plenty more stuff.

    Yeah I know lots of research worldwide. None in Ireland from what I can tell. But are there any treatments coming from this research? I know a vaccine is years off. Clinical trials beginning but a good two years off for a vaccine.

    Just drilling down on some of the figures from the Worldometer site, where they have graphs and, China aside, almost all active cases are recorded as mild with Germany at 100%.

    Their are more worries than just Health , economically the effects are devastating. Returning to a normal lifestyle looks a long way off and this will effect people's mental health.

    Needs to be a shift now in mentality, some are in the denial stage

    Some of the research, from what I've read, is also into possible treatments that can prevent it going severe but also early days on that. There's one approach in Australia, which apparently kills the virus dead in the lab but needs to get clinical trials going.

    Just looking at Flight Radar 24 this morning, the USA ban on incoming flights is obvious. Very little traffic heading west from Europe, noticed a few cargo carriers alright. Lots still leaving the USA and heading east across the atlantic.

    I wonder who they are and what they will be doing when they get here?

    US citizens are still exempt from the travel ban into the States.

    Point a : Facebook
    Point b: someone posted on Facebook
    Point c: you read it on Facebook.
    Gps are not referring suspected cases to hospital.
    When you contact your go your put on a list for testing at the moment 12 to 24 hour wait.
    At the moment our health system is rolling out the largest testing scheme in the history of our country it's not going to be done in one day.

    We are waiting longer than 24hrs and another boardsie has a wife who is sick waiting on a test since Saturday

    You were 17 and I am sure the same was said about you! Child is home and safe!
    Problem is you don't know she is safe, she could have caught the virus and will the pass it on to you and anybody else she comes into contact with. As long as she got her Mcdonalds that is OK.

    Yes and understood. My main point was the amount of traffic heading towards us.

    Getting the test does 2 things
    1. It will make sure that you and everyone you have been in contact with will stay isolated and take it seriously
    2. When you do recover, you’ll have immunity and will be able to help care for others who have the virus who may not be doing so well.

    In a perfect world we would test everyone

    Nothing to suggest immunity after you've recovered. A woman in South Korea has had it twice.
