This doctor is making sense on prime time. We all need to avoid each other. People are not heeding to this so we only have ourselves to blame for the coming storm.

i'll try posting this again....today's numbers...

another day of coVid-19 milestones.....today has seen the global death rate hit 10,000....1,000 of which died in last 24 hours !!
italy reported over 5,000 cases in one 24 hour period...and overtook china as the country with the most deaths to date.
spain and switzerland's cases increased by over 30% of previous total respectively.
usa cases increased by almost 50% of previous total.
ireland increased by over 50% of previous total.
25,000 cases worldwide added today, which accounts for 10% of all reported cases globally, highest daily increase to date.
.

I presume many of those cases are in southern Italy because of the thousands who fled there from the North. If it takes off in the south it will make the north look like small fry as they have much poorer health infrastructure.

What’s the logic in not going into lockdown here?

begbysback · 19-03-2020 10:10PM

We have 5 cases totally recovered, are there any reports anywhere from any of these?

Id imagine their symptoms were bad in order to be diagnosed this early, so Id expect their stories to be on the extreme side, but Id still like to hear their experiences.

tobefrank321 · 19-03-2020 10:11PM

We'll probably see another spike next week when the panic buying morons and cheltenham punters test positive.

Died, a lot. Smallpox alone killed hundreds of millions in just the 20th century. 30% death rate. We eradicated it completely in the early 80's.

You weren’t expected to live very long.
200 years ago surviving child birth was an achievement. Virus outbreaks were the least of your worries.

Teenagers on the green near where I live today playing football. I counted 12 of them. Having a 6 a side game. Not a care in the world, jumping all over each other and acting the maggots. I said to my neighbour what you make of that? She said "I know,it's like the summer holidays already, and she laughed. It went totally over her head. Is it just me watching too much on this or her and these kids parents being idiots.

I don't know, but it's not fair to call kids maggots and idiots for just being kids. But yeah, parents have to be more aware now.

Listen to the Italians.

Everything they said was correct.

Over 1000 deaths in Europe today, hard to comprehend

The general public does not need to wear masks.

Health service works who are around a patient for 12 hours do.

It's common sense, this was said by the hse over and over at the start and even a few days ago that there was no need for the public to be wearing masks. If someone has a respiratory issue then that's a different story.

Not sure. Some people that identify as Irish are quite feral when told what they can or cannot do.

Compliance, or lack thereof; this will last for months. And it's still early days.

Yeah hard to take in. Where do they put bodies. Then seen on news the army ships them out at night in trucks.

My daughter works in Costa. She’s had her 23 year old eyes well and truly opened at how spoilt stupid petulant disobedient and selfish people are.

I've often said everyone could do with working in some kind of retail at some stage in their life to open their eyes to the type of <insert long list of profanities here> types of people are out there.

I think our approach has been sensible, if a bit late.

I also think there will be a ramp up in interventions. I don't know what that could be though.

Lockdown may come, but maybe an intermediate step first. They did mention advising elderly people to isolate - cocooning - perhaps that's next, before people on the street are fined.

Yeah, I think our approach is the most sensible - very difficult to initiate no. 4 (China-style lockdown) in a country like ours. And yeah, I think they will reassess the situation if there's no discernible reduction relating to the measures introduced recently.

Didn't call the kids idiots. I said acting the maggot. Since when is that so bad? And yeah I stand by what I say their parents are idiots for letting them out. Don't be so offended so easy. Now is not the time to be a snowflake

Anyone with editing online clips experience. Could you edit tonight's Primetime to have the section where they are showing the hospital section?

Thanks

Former Dublin hurler Mick Carton has revealed he has tested positive for coronavirus.

The 35-year-old father, who is now a firefighter, started to suffer from flu-like symptoms in recent days and decided to self-isolate.

However, soon after being tested for Covid-19 he was made aware that he had contracted the virus.

Taking to Twitter from his hospital bed, Carton has issued a warning to stay vigilant about all the different symptoms of the contagious disease.

"I had been self-isolating for a few days with flu-like symptoms, got tested and came back positive for Covid-19 on Saturday," he wrote.

"A few things I've learned; it's very tough self-isolating when you're feeling really sick, but texts and phone calls from friends and family really do help.

"The symptoms I had were a headache, chills and fever.

"I had no respiratory problems so don't just be looking for a cough," he added.

It will soon hit people hard that are not obeying the distancing rules when a loved one is on a ventilator in ICU.

No but they have grotesque animal factory farms where diseases spread that could spread to humans, for that reason I don't think any of us can look down on the Chinese. We should perhaps think about how we keep animals worldwide, it might even mean, gasp, eating less meat.

The problem is with eating wild animals, bats especially as they carry diseases.

There’s more to it than that sanitation in China is about 100 years behind the west .

Check out this video from a South African guy who lived in China for 15Year
