If it's anything like the people testing, they don't have enough protection. I don't think they wear the hazmat suits.

We don't have enough PPE especially masks because **** in the public are walking around wearing FFP3 masks. I had to review a patient today with a reused facemask and gown.

I presume that death was the one the daughter was tweeting about yesterday.

Most likely so yes.

I'm going to throw something mad out there, but I'm wondering has this been considered by the experts.

We know this virus is going to shut down the country for many months. I understand the strategy is to slow the infection rate so that the health services do not get inundated or over loaded. But slowing down the infection rate obviously make the crisis last longer.
Eventually everyone, or at least the vast majority, will have been infected most not requiring any medical attention but for those who do the health services will be able to manage as the demand on the health service will be spread over a longer time period.

Here the mad idea
This is based on the premise that once someone has fully recovered from the virus and been quarantined for two weeks they can no longer pass the infection on, nor get the virus a second time. As far as what I have read this appears to be the case.

Surely the smart thing to do is for those that live alone, or can safely self isolate, and are perfectly healthy and also have almost no risk of the virus killing them be deliberately infected. Yes, DELIBERATELY INFECTED but isolated for two weeks so that they cannot pass on the virus unintentionally.
Once that's done those people can carry on normally, return to their jobs and businesses.

Surely the more people who get through having the virus and recovering the quicker life can get back to normal.

Now I do not profess to have any medical qualification. I'm sure there's a few here that do have the necessary background to shoot this down in flames because I have misunderstood something. If that's the case, then please do so.

But it has always baffled me why in any other type of crisis the aim is to get through it by any means as quickly as possible.
but then when dealing with a virus do we do the complete opposite and drag it out as long as possible. I get that we have to prevent hospital and health service overload, but if you can get perfectly healthy people through it surely a recovery would be much quicker.

are you nuts? playing roulette with people's lives? you have no idea how anyone would react to this virus, even an apparently healthy individual.

this is what bruce ayleward said most disturbed him after his visit to china...lots of healthy people got the virus and died very quickly from it and nobody had any clue why that was

Earlier on RTE quoted Monday’s figure that out of the 226 cases 86% required hospitalisation why such a high figure is that a quarantine measure ? or is it that those cases were very serious?

37.7% required hospitalisation as of the 16th.

Hopefully that will put manners on some people. It was quiet here where I live for the past few days but today with the fine weather all the kids were out again on the green, running around and blatantly not heeding any advice. People need to get it into their fcuking heads that they’re not on holidays.

If they're from the same family there's no issue

If we do have a lock down I would say it will be in two weeks time ,see how our partial lock down goes.
And it would have to be in conjunction with the Brit's.
It would be easier to do it

You will see soon how it will change.
Also just imagine you have the virus. How many did.you infect with your normal life?

Italy treated the initial closures like a holiday.

Kids out etc playing people out and about.

We are doing the exact same thing.

If the US were the first to develop an effective new treatment for this virus in the weeks ahead, it would not surprise me if Donald took credit for it and off the back of it possibly got re- elected.

There is already a treatment. Interferon Alpha 2B. Cuba develped it in the 1980's and have been flying their doctors all over the world to implement the treatment. They are currently in Italy after having worked in China and South Korea where the cases dropped dramatically since their intervention.

The US don't want to acknowledge because you know it's those filthy Castro-ites with their brilliant medical system. Can't give be giving them any recognition. Of course Trump will probably implement the treatment under cover of darkness and then say he developed the cure himself in the White House pantry.

think the Italians are lumping in other types of deaths into the same category.

Hit by a car, yeah but he did have a cough. There's one.....

Quite the opposite. There have been quite a few cases where they mentioned people dying WITH the virus, not BECAUSE OF the virus.

I feel no sympathy whatsoever for anyone who went.

My own preference would be for each and every one of them to be hung by the balls.

Absolutely and add the Liverpool fans that went to Anfield to that.

You are putting yourself and others at an unnecessarily high risk. People are dying.

I'll repeat.

People are dying. It doesn't get any more serious than that.

It’s people like you who need to be involuntarily quarantined, you absolute gob****e :mad:

bekker · 19-03-2020 06:39PM

People keep making a very basic error, the total population of a country is irrelevant, the relevant population is that % which realistically have the potential to be infected.

Also the number confirmed is not comparable as it is subject to just too many variable.

Isolation, travel bans, and ruthlessly stamping stamping out the sparks hitting other population centres reduces the latter % significantly, as in may have done in China's case.

Wuhan has a population of ~11M and Hubei ~60M, so Wuhan is about 18.33%

Hubei/China 60M/1428M = 4.20% of population of China (2017).
Lombardy/Italy 10.04M/60.48M =16.60% (2018).

Extent Hubei 185,900 km²/China 9.597 million km² = 0.002%
Extent Lombardy 23,844 km²./Italy 301,338 km² = 7.91%

Hubei
Lombardy 10.04/23844 .004/km²
.003/km²

Not all of us . We live in a cul de sac and no children playing together . Occasionally one dad brings one child out to kick a ball . The others wait till they are in and the next one comes out
