OK PREDICTION TIME FOLKS!!!!

Coronavirus stats coming out in the next few hours. Do you guys think we have managed to flatten the curve?!

IMO will be around 500 new infections, we saw the rise in US today and it definitely shows the difference that these new testing methods are making to identifying cases quickly. We also have a lot more people getting tested and the virus has certainly spread throughout the major cities at this stage.

We really don't need to be guessing how many people are going to get sick and possible die do we now?

yes the percentage increase will be more today and as soon as the new tests come on board I think it will be big increases

The usename alone gives a good argument to be ignored.

How do you know nobody died? They can't attribute it to the flu if it wasn't the flu.

They knew what CV19 was in December and we have these things called postmortems.
Everyone wants to believe they had something as infectious as this in january that we are closing down the country for but it decided to hang around til the end of march to bother its hole getting serious.

People really need to think before they speak. Twitter gives numpties a forum they definitely do not deserve.

rob316 · 20-03-2020 05:54PM

Hope to see bigger numbers which means we are testing more, low ICU figures and a static or lower median infection age. Number of cases really means nothing.

Crass.

This isn't a gameshow.

Come on man, it maybe crass but we are all thinking, guessing, predicting even what the numbers will be.

100% I was floored for over a week and if it was now I'm sure I'd have been tested. Got my flu shot in october as well.

I had the cough for at least 2 weeks after the fatigue had gone.

Just because you had the flu shot doesn't mean that you didn't have another strain of the flu.

We need to find some more super spreaders today, hopefully 500 plus.

My brother and I had this flu. It was seriously a bad dose. I felt like I was going to die every night waking up almost choking while unable to swallow my own saliva.

I think a fairly sizable portion of the population don't realise the Flu is really bad. Many people who think they have/had a flu were probably suffering with a bad cold.

I'm in my early 30's and to be best of my knowledge(and my parents) i've never had the flu, some bad chest/throat infections.

Having seen a family member with a flu a few years ago, opened my eyes to how bad a flu actually is

JP Liz V1 · 20-03-2020 05:59PM

Do we know much more details of the 4 Irish deaths, lication, age, underlying conditions etc.,? I know perhaps the families do not want to release information but some more information might help scare more into taking better care, precautions, stubbornness of not staying in

You should have no bother isolating the kids anyway.

China is twice the size of the EU. 15 cities were put in full lock-down, not just Wuhan.
Covid-19 reached every province of China, and was the epicenter for the entire pandemic.
China has virtually no new domestic cases now.
Anybody willing to write off what any Asian country has done in relation to this virus must first produce a very good counter-proposal.

Did you read the post I was responding to?

If so perhaps you would explain the logistics of providing daily food rations and meds to every single household in the EU which was what was being suggested.

Let's make it easier - let's say to every single household in France. Every day prepare and deliver food and meds. To approx 30 million households spread across 543,965 km2 - 2 meals a day - avg 2 occupants per household that's 120 million meals to be prepared.

Where?
By who?
Who delivers?
Who pays?
Is it centralised or regional?
If regional how localised is it? Village? Apt block?

If people could go to a few locations to collect prepared food with a hell of a lot of planning it might not be impossible, but to deliver to every household during a pandemic?

That was the suggestion I was responding to.

And that's not even getting into seizing people's dogs and 'humanly kennelling' then in some location or other cared for by ...???

100% agree.

Since that flu in December, I now truly realise what the flu feels like. My brother got it really bad too. He honestly looked like a zombie when I saw him.

Brother ended up at a Doc on Call on Xmas day with it. Mother at a Doc on Call a few days latter. Both felt horrid, and also felt there was a weird mood from the doctors about it.

I know it wasn’t the same dose, but bloody hell that was a weird bug

I had the flu at christmas and it literally took me a month to recover, it was 7-10 days of choking cough, shaking, high temp and stuck to the bed. The rest of the time was spent just lying on the couch. awful it was

Losing their licence? Not a hope as they're not actually doing anything that's breaking the law.

Not breaking the law, but being (extremely?) irresponsible, maybe better off they don't get the 'ol license renewed the next time.

Anyone know how long it takes to be called to be tested after your GP has requested it?

BorneTobyWilde · 20-03-2020 06:07PM

It's only a few day ago the Government had the ''expert'' on Late Late Show telling everyone it's only a cold, go out and live your lives, as Ryan smiles and asks audience '' do you feel better now''

Funny how Dr Ciara Kelly had someone in a hazmat suit out to the house quickly to be tested and test results in 2 days, rest of us aren’t getting the same treatment obviously.

Oh and the argument that she is a doc won’t hold up, she’s not practising. She’s a journo.
