Prime time will be one to watch this eve I think.

There’s very little upside to any of this but maybe one is when all this blows over we will be left with a better health system than we had previously

I'd imagine even shorter time for Spain/France. Germany seems to be holding out a lot better.

Highest level or critical care beds '000 in Europe.

Italys cases are actually falling 12.5% rise today, 13% yesterday. 25% daily rise pre lockdown.

Lockdown isn't going to show true effect for at least 2-3 weeks. There is lag on test results and up to 14 day incubation period for the virus remember

Exactly this, I dont know why people are getting so worked up about increasing numbers and stating oh they shouldn't be going up now that we've closed pubs, people working from home etc.

We wont see any change for at least a week if not 2. You dont see results of anything imposed for that long

oh, wait

WoollyRedHat · 17-03-2020 06:28PM

Statistics with detailed breakdown on cases to date will be released on Friday and thereafter on a weekly basis, to be accurate in documenting cases up to day before release. Will detail how many cases by region, county, how many were via community transmission and presumably how many cases to date are recovered and are in ICU currently.

Just from the percentages side, I know they are very manipulated. So 80 percent will get it but we also heard only 50 or 60 percent of the population wil get it so thats 80 percent of that amount. Talking about herd immunity which will happen and lack of reinfection which should happen. So the other 20 percent which is a left over of the 50 or 60 percent, I'll stop calculating now, so if anyone can reflect on that?

owlbethere · 17-03-2020 06:28PM

Would Ireland turn out better if we added in one of Boris Johnsons techniques and if Ireland was to ask the over 70s to self isolate or reduce their - outings. Our health service might be able to cope a little bit better.

Blueshoe · 17-03-2020 06:29PM

Ireland now 17th in the world of cases per pop million

Ahead of Us, UK ,China and one place below South Korea

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.

Here's the youtube link, question is asked at 1:17:30,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5jdgafH7eM

That was my take too.

I'm not seeing it like that, to quote trump " Ireland...does alot of work for us, a very tremdous producer. And we are looking to bring alot more back home. And I've been, excuse me you know me for a long time..."

The question was about signing an executive order to bring pharma manufacturing back to US.

Does anyone else feel their head is melted already. I find working from home really isolating, it's difficult to do what I do without access to a printer etc. which I don't have. I have OCD so the idea of passing a virus to someone is crippling. I have a young child so it's difficult to work anyway. I feel like I need to man up tbh people have suffered through way way worse. I'm probably way too much of a snowflake but it does make it difficult to cope!

I was thinking of people of contamination ocd when this broke out as it be must be very difficult. While it is isolating and difficult it is nothing in comparison to what is going on compared to other countries at the moment. From tomorrow I’m going to structure my day so there is some routine.

I have been thinking how lucky we are to live in a country that has access to a lot of the things we do that we take for granted. Eg going to work, school etc. So many countries don’t have this freedom at all.

The lung capacity thing is a complete unknown at this stage. Secondly, how the fcuk do "dead cells" mutate? And christ knows how a cell could get "cockblocked". WTF all over the place.

Pneumonia and cilia fibrosis/scar forming within the lung is an indicator for increased cancer in the future.

You'll be shot down because very few agree with Johnson's approach, and because the 'Brits' aren't doing what we're doing.

My sister said a street party is happening on the street over from hers in Dublin. :rolleyes::mad: People were cheering her as she drove through the crowd.

People aren't really getting it, are they? On my drive around today, it was busy enough with walkers.
