    BREAKING: Italy reports 4,207 new cases of coronavirus and 475 new deaths, raising total to 35,713 cases and 2,978 dead

    On the positive side of things, they have 1084 new recoveries today. May as well present all the figures.

    Can't find a source at the WHO to corroborate this.

    Several sources stating it's one of the CV19 myths....

    Anybody got anything from the WHO?
    Questioned on the study {published in The Lancet} by reporters in Geneva, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier said that experts were "looking into this to give further guidance."
    "In the meantime, we recommend using rather paracetamol, and do not use ibuprofen as a self-medication. That's important," he said.

    It’s sad really.

    Why’s it sad? We are next to a country that allowed 250k people to watch ****ing horse racing than take precautions. Imbeciles, the only way to describe them

    Friend of mine in the UK is a doctor, had symptoms so took the week off, her family has to self-isolate for a further week..
    [10:54, 18/03/2020] : Yep. Had symptoms last Friday, self isolate for 1 week, can go back to work if symptom free at the end of that week
    [10:54, 18/03/2020] : Viral shedding highest in the first five days after symptoms show
    [10:55, 18/03/2020] : Household contacts isolate for 2 weeks to allow for them to contract it and show symptoms and then be clear by the end of 14 days


    Surely this isn't f*cking long enough?

    I think this has been mentioned here before but it's worth repeating :

    One of the differences between Germany and Italy is that Italy test for the virus posthumously, Germany doesn't.

    In other words...a lot of dead Italian people test positively for the virus, but that doesn't always mean that they died of it just with it.
    Germany doesn't test for this at all.

    Is there any data of Italian deaths per day, pre corona? Trying to find some online but its awash with current corona related data.

    Found some, 10/1000 per year, so 1 in 100, with a 60m population thats 600k per year, 1600 per day die in Italy previous to corona, I guess that figure doesnt mean a lot unless we see the total deaths per day in Italy the last couple of weeks and see how much above average it is.

    Yes they are working on a new system to support this but it is taking them years.

    Agreed!
    I saw a "leaked" report from America earlier, that was an edit of the imperial college report with every reference to UK changed to US....

    To be fair the Imperial college report did model both UK and US figures in some parts. And let's be fair here, where is our governments equivalent? It's all very well Varadkar coming on TV to lift the spirits, but where is the Irish curve model?

    It's all very well bashing the brits but I have seen nothing from either the government or the HSE showing the date and height of our peak.

    It has nothing to do with point scoring, People are worried because the UK approach till the about turn risks undermining ours, you seemingly can't accept that people might have valid criticism of the UK's approach to this crisis, why is this Aegir? .

    Google pay and apple pay allow you to pay using your phone you just tap your phone rather than your car it also has the advantage of having no 30 limit

    Trump and the USA have at last started to take this pandemic seriously with 7,568 known cases today.

    China started their lock down of Wuhan and Hubei Provence when they had 495 known cases.

    China has had 80,894 cases and 3,237 deaths to date, with 2,622 still in a critical condition

    It is well recognized that testing for the virus in the USA has been totally inadequate, so the 7,568 is almost certainly an underestimate.

    I shudder to think what the final US death toll will be, particularly when you mix health care system collapse, really difficult triage decisions and guns into the mixture.

    There's lots of reports of reports of reports.

    Anything from the horses mouth?

    I know, I'm cynical but if the WHO are making such recommendations why can't I find them on the WHO info pages?

    What are the chances of hotels/restaurants closing and public transport being stopped? Really hope it doesn’t get to that stage

    Well it's not because of staff shortages in their factories seeing as children are unaffected.

    Alright, thanks for that.
    I know a few people. One I'm trying to get sorted with a debit card,etc and the €50 limit will suit them.

    Already happening in Limerick, majority of restaurants and some major hotels already shut. Public transport should be next - who in their right mind would take a bus with this going on?

    Because what I said is true.

    There was no about turn, the U.K. has its plans to combat this just as Ireland does. Both governments are doing what it right for their own country.

    Which is how it should be.
