where are those more detailed stats? for some people like me it whats get through to us

are the HSE still counting travel, local community or is there no point anymore with many possible sources? I'd certainly like the stats on this from the last week, they stopped giving them out on the 13th https://www.gov.ie/en/news/7e0924-latest-updates-on-covid-19-coronavirus/ to me it'd be interesting to see when it was the unknown community sources passed out travel and local sources.

local known contacts passed out travel on the 12th

Yeah. And 65 deaths now reported just to illustrate this.

If you want an accurate timetable of when countries release their numbers - ask kermitt

Those who have fully recovered from coronavirus and with antibodies could be highly valued as carers in the next few weeks and months.

There are reports of reinfection so it is not as simple as that.

There are no reports of reinfection. Rather the infection had never cleared properly in the first place.

I'm classified as a potential case by my doctor.

Some symptoms for two weeks but today quite breathless and sore chest. Could be unrelated chest infection or could be Covid.

Good news is that if it is Covid I am probably not shedding the virus as it has been two weeks. Been told to self isolate for another week as a precaution.

"I'm sorry, but like, it's a virus, I get it, like, I respect it, but at the same time I'm like, even if everybody gets it, like yeah, people are going to die, which is terrible but like, inevitable?"

A lot of people were taken in by show over substance with Leo's speech.

The reality is the disease is out of control here and no one will take responsibility for the lack of measures that allowed it to get out of control.

100%. Leo cut pay for the Gardai, Drs and Nurses, but he read a prepared PR speech and now he’s great.

Multiple posts like this. You need to check official sources for the info on that.(google GOV) Social media may give you the info, hovever is not official, and therefore is hit and miss.

Facehugger doesn't seem to grasp that going for a Herd immunity type approach would destroy the economy anyway when 20% of those that catch the virus need to be hospitalised and a number, 5%-7%, need ICU treatment. More health workers will get it which means less health workers to run the health system.

Facehugger also seems to neglect the fact that a number of people with other illnesses, will be adversely affected by the virus bringing down the health system.

Facehugger thinks this is a head cold/flu thingy that is being overplayed. Only caught by the elderly and people should just get on with it.

What a lot of people here are advocating is take the pain now and recover economically in 5 years.

Facehugger wants to elongate the pain and have an economic and social collapse that will take 20+ years to recover from.

I don't think the herd immunity approach can work. It just means an uncontrolled spread. It would also take at least a year for the whole population to be infected which means isolating the elderly for at least a year which is not really practical. The elderly are highly dependent on a range of supports both inside and outside the home including going to hospitals. Its hard to receive cancer treatment at home for example. Nice idea in theory but not practical in reality, something those knighted scientists in their ivory towers didn't get.

You really should be getting tested for your own peace of mind.

I think you'll probably be able to soon enough too if you request it.

Sweet.Science · 18-03-2020 11:46AM

Any news on an anti viral drug ?

Seems to be the only hope of getting this under control in the near future

He said they need to prioritise other cases.

I presume ones that are in earlier stages so shedding or people with more severe symptoms.

Would be good for me to know alright because I would know if I have some immunity to it now or not.

They're working tremendously hard on it

Apparently

Numerous approaches are being tried. In other possible good news:

https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/monkeys-develop-protective-antibodies-to-sars-cov-2-67281

Now, a study in monkeys provides some clues. Three rhesus macaques did not develop a second infection after recovering from a first exposure to the coronavirus and being reexposed to SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that primates are capable of developing at least some short-term immunity to the pathogen. The research, posted as a preprint to bioRxiv March 14, has yet to undergo peer review. To the authors, the results indicate that reports of some COVID-19 survivors being “re-infected” a second time can be explained by issues with testing rather than a failure to develop immunity.

I have one question that I've been wondering since the outbreak of this virus....with swine flu in 2009, why didn't the schools/businesses shut down back then? IIRC swine flu was just as big a deal and serious news for a few months (or at least thats the impression I was given from watching the news at the time).

Very hard to keep up with the thread, so I don't know if this has been posted already

if someone tested positive in a small office a week ago, should the management tell the other people in that office?

Positive
