Why do you need to know what neighbourhoods to avoid based on results that are probably out of date. Also, it could lead to vigilantes who could attack people or demand they leave.

Don’t think anyone is safe and avoid contact.

I agree. And if an area is not listed, some morons will feel its safe to drop their guard. Only sane approach is to regard everywhere as high risk.

My hair grows really fast, get it cut every 4 weeks, had been shaving my head for 25 but decided to let it grow back a few years ago. Might shave it all off again as I wouldn't go near a barber at the moment.

Don’t do a Danny devito and shave everything on always sunny

It actually might, in the same way that some claim beards grew out of the fact that some men stopped shaving as they had no jobs to go to during the recession.

So it seems like that there are no plans for any implementation of a Italy/Spain style lockdown in the near future. We are in deep ****e.

They aren't gonna tell us of there is plans.

Don't be so dramatic.

Jesus, seriously thinking of doing myself in at this stage ...

If some non expert told you that you had a a terminal illness would you believe them? I hope not. Please, for your own sake, take it day by day and try to tune out as much you can. Best wishes.

We will soon need every ventilator we can get our hands on in this country. The rest of the world will have to wait in line.

godson / nephew of mine...16...very sick today...sick since Saturday night but awful bad today....huge fever, headache and coughing...dry cough too....seemingly someone coming out to test him today and it'll be two days for results
a young fella whos never sick ..not a pick of fat on him.. does a lot of boxing and football.
facetimed him there and was shocked how he looked, face swollen and sweaty...hes in bed and has no energy at all.

may not be it at all....but its just hes never sick and has these symptoms at this time.

his family have been told to self isolate.

that was posted monday....he was sick since last saturday night...family told he'd be tested on monday, someone would call to house.....but nothing since...family are under isolation and can't leave the house, my wife doing shopping etc for them and leaving at their gate.
he's improved in last couple of days, but he was savage sick...doctor instructed him to stay in bedroom and not go around the house.
maybe it wasnt the virus at all....but his family are convinced it was, due to symptoms and how first time he was ever this sick happened to fall on this week.
dunno if he'll be tested at all now that hes on the mend.

edit / update : he sent me a text this morning...

"isolation rules got changed last nite n now i have to wait another week in isolation im so annoyed, tomorrow was meant to b my last day"

seemingly hes going to be tested on monday....but will traces of him having it, as far as these tests go, be gone ? (if he had it of course)...that'll be like nearly 10 days since he got it.

44 deaths but only two are in critical care and according to wikipedia they had 11 deaths in the last recorded day. Doesn't sound credible. Or else people are dying at home without getting to hospital.

It is difficult to understand how Germany is treating those cases that "they are catching early via wide spread testing", if they do not publish the split between: cases treated at home in quarantine, and cases treated in hospital.
For Italy, we know this.
Yesterday:

33190 positives
15757 in hospital
14935 with lesser symptoms treated at home and in quarantine
2498 in intensive care

So, from the Italy data, we know how the virus can impact a population in terms of hospital requirements.
And any other Country can take this data and take their own decisions.

For Germany, we have no clue.

I believe that that is the right approach. A complete lockdown, and the resulting failure of tens of thousands of small business, driving thousands of families into poverty and fear, will probably result in more deaths through the impact of depression, chronic stress / anxiety and suicide, than the virus itself. People at risk should stay the f*** inside for as long as it takes, and I’ve made that very very clear to my parents, so that a full lockdown for the rest of us is not necessary.

I see 'lockdown' being implemented based on a certain percentage of total ICU beds being occupied. It will be implemented quickly, possibly frequently for shorter periods of time over a long period of time.

Of all annoying American terms 'boomer' really grates me.

If someone thinks your middle aged you're starting to get replies on here like 'Hey boomer!' 'Ok boomer!'.

I'm not a man of violence but if i met any of those American sitcom addicted, juvenile, cultureless sh*ts in real life I'd do damage to them:)

Have we flattened the curve on the main Coronavirus thread?!

This one is noticeably slower!

Where you at Hector? Both my parents are there, Dad 70 next month, and even if they wanted to leave they can't now.

tbh I think they are better off here with Spain health system than Ireland.
Also if they self isolate and take careful trips to shops they should be fine

Feel for him. I imagine if he still has it at all it will show up.

A positive from this will be this young generation growing up and remembering this, remembering how fragile everything is and how important it is to look after each other and the planet.

There's a bigger fight on the way with global warming, to tackle that it means some serious changes from the way we live. I think this will be the eye opener to the world that we're not the God's we thought we were.

I agree. They live near a world class hospital. Also the supermarkets near them are big and spacious, around here they're so crowded and everyone on top of each other. Also with the restrictions in Spain I'm glad they're staying, who knows what will happen here as we don't seem to be doing much compared to others.

The doctor on CNN last night said Covid 19 was 2 to 3 times as contagious as influenza.

when the test comes out determining whether you have had Covid 19 that will really determine how many have it & its true death rate
