Would others go shopping with their relatives?

"We are asking you to come together, by staying apart" is the message from our leader.

My God, literally villages and towns being wiped out in Italy daily, its heartbreaking and scary.

Very worried about the UK on our doorstep taking such a relaxed attitude, its too close to home. I don't think any of us will have ever lived through anything that looks like coming in the next few weeks.

Hold on a second
We don't even a a breakdown of anything
All we have is the numbers of infected from testing number of deaths ECT,
We don't have the break down figures to back up your statement

Just when you think you’ve rolled your eyes as far as you can go the greens come along with something special to make them roll further

Not the time or place to discuss politics, but he has done some damage to the party just now, what utter rubbish!

Although to be fair I'm watching Boris right now, not much more sense there....

stephenjmcd · 19-03-2020 06:35PM

Why are people surprised about the Italian figures ??

It'll take at least 1-2 weeks for a lockdown to be reflective. They'll hit a peak figure and then slowly decline as the lockdown begins to show.

+415 recovered for what it's worth

I recommend a good bottle of Jameson to help cure the anxiety most are going through here!

Wow incredible, we are seeing sights we though we’d never see in our life time. Good on the Spanish though, they don’t want to be the next Italy.

Jesus Italy.. lockdown started on the 9th. 10 days in and it's still running wild. We really need start to seeing their numbers drop soon.

They will. Another few days and the death numbers will fall off a cliff. The infection numbers are likely very understated there too, so we might see those persist longer, but I think we'll miss loads too due to recoveries without detection.

Nope.

Simple as this - Assume you have it.

If you assume you have it and you are not aware, it answers a lot of these questions. Remember incubation is anything from 5-14 days.

8.3% mortality rate in Italy

Of cases treated or known. You can be sure the true number of those is 10 times the reported figure or more. Small consolation

Poor Italy.

Bringing CV with them. Locals who may have been relatively safe are not amused.

Really brings a new meaning to bringing your cv with you.

But who knows who will follow their path. Chatter going on about Londonders decamping to their holiday homes all over, and bringing CV with them. Locals who may have been relatively safe are not amused.

My husband works for an internet company and they have had a rash of calls from UK numbers calling to check that their internet is up and running in their holiday home in Ireland before they come over here to wait it out.

Newbie? Catherine Connolly is in her second term. Besides that, she has been a barrister for many years, certainly better qualified to scrutinise legislation than all the schoolteachers, publicans and career politicians that comprise most of the rest of the Dail.

Have you read the legislation? Really nothing alarming in there at all, a lot of it is all about the SW changes. Some of the Mental Health Act alterations are quite strong but informed by medical or government oversight. I don't know how long it will remain on the books but it is a temporary measure specific to this particular emergency, where speed is of the essence.

gabeeg · 19-03-2020 06:38PM

A couple of things about the Italian numbers:

1. The deaths will keep growing in accordance with the number of people that are actually infected. And that number is many, many times higher than the reported known cases of 41,000. I won't bother speculating what that number is, but I'm hearing directly from people in Lombardy that the virus is widespread.

2. The number of deaths reported is likely to be considerably lower than the actual number, as many are dying at home, untested, and buried. I personally know of families that this has just happened to, and here's an article to back it up.

Could we still go same way as Italy? Terrifying

There's a strong hope we won't. We had a vital three week + head start over them and moved a lot quicker in relative terms in trying to suppress the virus.

No, I'm reluctant to go shopping with even myself.

It's Ecuadorian's preventing a plane from Spain landing allegedly! That plane won't have much fuel if that is true, an hour or so perhaps as a reserve, if no one lets it land that's a serious problem.

wouldn't expect their figures to be droppping really for another week or thereabouts if the incubation period is 14 days.

With, no. For, yes, though trying to set up deliveries might be safer all round. Some small shops are good at this, and might be more available than the big supermarkets atm. And no shared meal. It's really tough explaining to someone you love that just at the moment you need to keep a distance - explain to her you can't be sure you're not carrying infection, and that when this is over you can celebrate together.

And hope that's true.

European style/type lockdowns are so loose that it may take more than a week (in my opinion)!

I'm sure Italy did and are doing their very best with their quarantine. Unfortunately they had the virus before any other European country and therefore had no warning as to what was in store re infection numbers.

I don't know how they are going to turn this around if this is at all possible. The virus may just have to run its course on its own terms. Taking Italy more than a week to stop this is a certainty. IT would be more like 6 to 9 months if you were to be realistic.

There is the question of it spreading beyond the badly effected areas too.

Very worrying and sad situation.

We should sit up and take note here too.

We have an open border with a country that is very far behind with quarantine measures plus testing. We need to address this as it is a massive issue and will be a major player in the numbers that this virus multiply to here.

And what if you’re still working ? I’m a temporary civil servant, still working , ABSOLUTELY non essential service at the moment. Today I have a sore throat , a cough and chest tightness. I didn’t go to work but I was at work yesterday. It’s simply unbelievable that non essential workplaces are still operating !!

I’m furious about this , I live alone so it’s very likely I got this at work (they only gave us hand sanitizer yesterday !)

Just off phone to my daughter in Vancouver, Covid 19 is only a week old over there and they are already completely shut down and working from home except for essential services.
