Presumably any health worker who has been anywhere near a COVID patient gets tested...

Only if symptoms develop(in my experience)....told to self-isolate,test if symptoms emerge in that time

I still find it very odd. Hopefully the demographics don’t continue.

Health Care workers getting infected?

I think it is running at about 12% in other places.

It's not entirely a bad thing if the curve is managed.

repost, apologies made a total hames of it by hitting post by accident for previous version

Chinese figures, please compare like with like, 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%. China ~1400M

Huebei v Lombardy

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 9.59 M km² = 1.9%
Extent Lombardy 23,844 km²/Italy 301,338 km² = 7.91%

Pop Density Hubei 60M/185,900 = 324.32/km²
Pop Density Lombardy 10.04M/23844 = 421.07/km²

And add anyone who went panic shopping, add anyone that didnt quarantine when the first case in china came out. How far do we go back. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

When it became a serious issue in Italy it should have become a much bigger issue here. I still know people travelling to Britain and back and still carrying on as normal. Those travelling to Cheltenham and anfield did so when it was known that it was serious and could hamper efforts here

The Gov really needs to tell people what we should be doing regarding going outside etc. Are they going for herd immunity over time? From what I can see it's even busier in many places as kids are out and about, and lots of people are still going to work, and parks and public spaces are far busier than usual.

Agreed, Stephen's Green was mad today, really busy. Anyone looking to kill an hour on their lunch and avoid crowds should go Iveagh.

went to the hardware store just now for supplies. the young girl at the counter, maybe about 18-20 years old was well trained. line 2 metres in front of the till. she told me to leave the trolley there and go through to other side, another 2 metres behind the till. she checked everything through, then left the card machine on the counter. she backed off, i approached and paid. both of us were wearing gloves. we never came within 2 metres of each other entire process.

What did you need in a hardware shop?

Oh my god. I just heard about the new cases. That's an absolutely dreadful amount of new cases for us to deal with.

This is now beginning to get a lot more worse than I would expect. If anyone in this country is reading this & still not listening to the official health advice. Do it now. Listen to our medical professionals & act on their guidelines immediately. It is absolutely critical for you to do so while you still can. You are doing a great disservice to the country if you are not listening to them by continuing your daily routines whilst doing nothing about it. It is absolutely vital for you not to mess this up so that your lives could be ruined by this virus forever. You need to adhere to the guidelines now to secure the betterment of your health. If you don't do it & you are one of those people who are within those new cases today or from the past few days. May god help you if you are in this situation. The medical professionals are the only people to help you now during this crisis. They are the only ones who can help you get better by surviving from this virus.

It's also very sad to hear about the deaths in both NI & in the east. I hope they RIP.

How so? The figures for new cases are in and around what was predicted by basically everyone

Sorry but what did you expect? The projection was 15k by the end of the month, now we may or may not reach 15k, we dont know yet.

Our ICU numbers are still quite low and the vast majority are at home and not in hospital.

Also I think most peoples daily routines are an awfully lot different in the last week since social distancing began. People cant seem to get over the fact that these new case are all infected prior to social distancing

That'd be stupid.

Call them a thick inbred. Take the punch, get the cctv, get lawsuit and get the money from them.

Ideally thick fùck then get charged

Touching the cretin would be an issue mind.

Woman in work has brought her 12 year old son into work the last few days as she has no one to mind him, stupid people like her all over the country will result in a full lockdown at some point. Many people are adhering to the guidelines but there's a few who simply don't care. ****.

I haven't gone near a shop since Monday as people are just so ignorant of the SD guidelines but you're seen as the asshole when you give someone standing a hairs breadth away a dirty look.

Boils my blood.

Yup and not of because of someone else who travelled.
The 25% roughly all picked it up abroad.

Scoondal · 19-03-2020 07:14PM

Uk deaths due to Covid-19 : 137
Republic of Ireland deaths : 3
It is time to close our border only allowing essential supplies. We do not need a common travel area at this time.

I was going to say, those kinds of shops shut probably have closed their doors by this stage

Antares35 · 19-03-2020 07:15PM

Took the dog for a stroll after work and came upon a couple who had randomly decided to park their car in the mountain and were having a game of Frisbee with each other. If one of them has it, then they were literally throwing their germs around the place. :pac: I tried to keep to one side of the road with the dog on a very short lead until I passed them. On the way back, they were still at it and made no attempt to stop their germ throwing so I stopped walking and they eventually moved to one side so we could pass. Commenced the virus throwing again as I was passing and I had to say "distance please!" so yer man could feck off out of my 2m space. Numpties :mad:
Sorry I mean isn't it so nice to see people out and about enjoying the scenery

adox · 19-03-2020 07:15PM

Went to the local Supervalu today and was impressed with their attitude. The main entrance to the shop was closed with the secondary side entrance the only one open. This was manned by a member of staff who pointed you to a table where there was hand sanitizer that you had to apply and then disposable gloves that you had to put on before you start shopping. Also the counter staff all standing well back from tils until they had to use them.
Also went to Tesco and all there was were a few lines at the tils to try and keep distancing in the ques.

Some people just don’t seem to get it at all though. Have had people in our estate have their friends dropping their kids over to them and bringing them and their own kids out to play together in the estate for a couple of hours.

Really? I was told today loads in work are wearing gloves. I was going to wear surgical ones and change them throughout the day. Would you not recommend that?

No, not at all, even with a gloved hand once someone touches a contaminated surface they will still, in all likelihood, touch their face at some point thereby infecting themselves. If people aren't sanitising their gloves regularly (which they won't because gloves aren't as tactile and so people won't feel the need to sanitise regularly) this will just further the spread of the virus.

Ofa person was very vigilant and careful, changed gloves regularly, then they might be ok, but it would be damaging to those around us that we're trying to protect - the elderly and immune compromised.

Plus, if wearing gloves did catch on you can imagine people wearing them all day long and all sorts building up on them.
