Good article in Irish Times about how being Rich is a vaccine of sorts for corona.

It's rising, more stricter lock down needed, how many cases are from returnees?

What's the full population of ROI? And also NI?

The general consensus seems to be that any lockdown will only have an impact after 2 weeks (perhaps due to the display of symptoms?) Italy's cases are rising judging from the figures, but suggestions (from reputable sources, it would seem) are that particularly bad areas hit - and that have implemented a lockdown/social distancing policy - are seeing noticeable decreases in cases.

11 deaths in the tiny country San Marino. Population just 33k

Which is an enclave within Italy.

41 more cases in the East presumably Dublin and suburbs/commuter towns and another 13 in the south presumably cork. Dublin’s spreading very fast

pjohnson · 17-03-2020 07:10PM

So still right on track for health servives to be overwhelmed. And people still bleating about the economy.

Frontline nurses in Italy. Exhausted and with faces cut and bruised from continuously wearing masks and eye protection.

So I got a call today to say a guy in work has tested positive . I had contact with him early last week. I have no symptoms.
I have been asked to stay out of work until early next week 14 days. Would I be entitled to full pay due to it being out of my control and I am well and willing to work.

It doesn't matter that it is out of your control - the rest of us laid off temporarily are also in situations outside of our control and we are not getting full pay (or any pay at all) from our employers. Apply for the illness benefit. It is €305 for people who are told to isolate as far as I know.

All you can do regarding full pay is ask your employer. Maybe they will be extremely sound.

Well I would have expected 85%+ of cases here to be in Dublin Cork and Limerick. There is just almost no urban density outside these areas

irishgeo · 17-03-2020 07:12PM

Any recovered patients?

wakka12 · 17-03-2020 07:13PM

Why do all the Italian nurses have bruised/cut faces?

Maybe I'm missing something but surely people are staring to realise that the new cases are not death sentences.

The vast, vast majority of the 69 new cases today will recover, most without even needing hospital care.

Actually the fact that cases are being identified is a positive as it means they should stop passing on the virus.

Idiots getting hysterical about new cases

Idiots not realising that the more your total confirmed cases go up, the more people as a % of that number will need hospital care. The more our hospitals fill up, the greater the death toll will become... because there's already a shortage of beds and vital equipment as we speak! :rolleyes:

It is but you have to look where is is, I know it's the world's oldest republic and no offence to any San Marinese reading this but it's practically part of northern Italy.

You can only look at this as a study, doesn't prove anything. Nothing going to change my approach to this and I'm an O person.

I couldn't see it mentioned on that news report but I thought I'd heard there were recoveries. Tuesday is meant to be "all info" day.

Why blame Trump? Its still a dickish move to pull off given they know the NYT and WaPo are ardent opponents of his administration and they can't be bothered to differentiate between the US press and him.

They're known for their investigative journalism, China don't want none o' dat right now.

What exactly does 'lockdown' mean ?? Everyone just stays in doors till Corona goes away ? How exactly does a 'lockdown' work ?

Who provides the services ? (If everyone stays indoors)
Who get the food (If everyone is in lockdown)
Who fixes things that might break (if the country is locked away)

My students in china had their food delivered. left at the door. They were allowed out at certain time in the day in a certain space.
No services other than that were/are provided/
Nothing is fixed.

who says 5 recovered

Presume the worst to prepare for it. 275 cases. 20% of cases are severe as in needing hospitalisation. Not seeking it, but needing it. Near 60 people who need repirators in Ireland, all in one month, in a country that keeps less than 300 respirators for normal business.

20-30% reduction in lung capacity for people who get through it, lung cancer will increase over the next 2-3 decades due to dead cells mutating or being cockblocked. The new norm.

"Be grand"

I hope the people who went to Cheltenham and Templebar last week choke on their own stupidity.

Are you for real. Do you really think we just sit tight long enough and this goes away. And btw we will have nearly 1000 respirators in a couple of weeks

New measures signed off in the cabinet sub committee this evening
-Power to shut down mass gatherings
-Power to detain someone who has COVID 19 but wont self isolate

Will be passed in a Dail hearing tomorrow

Credit - RTE

Excellent, expect it will be passed by Dáil unanimously, hopefully with a sunset, or mandatory vote on renewal clause.

It just needs to be applied universally, and relentlessly.

Trump just discussed bringing pharma companies back to the us. Specifically mentioned Ireland as being one of the countries to bring business back from

Not hugely important in the current situation, but he didn't say that, he actually complimented Ireland in the context of being an alternative to China, for the supply of pharmaceutical and medical devices.

i'd say some kind of decoupling from China is a dead cert after this. The number one country in the world will not want to be beholden to China for its medicine and medical equipment after this.

That was my take too.

Yeh but then wouldnt you say any towns in Southern Switzerland suffering badly are 'basically Italy'. It's its own country, it is experiencing a very high number of deaths relative to it's size

Wife was referred yesterday, just trying to gauge when she'll be tested.

Should be soon enough. Seemed to be about 4/5 days from reading Boards.
Best of luck.
