How do you know? A period of time has still not passed since the lockdown in which you would expect rates to have dropped.

Whilst your statement about half the Italian population dying was a bit trolly , you were just basing that on extrapolating the current death rate.

Which is fine.

But the trouble is , we aren’t seeing loads and loads of Italian kids in ICU. This isn’t the plague. There’s something in kids that possibly turning them into Corona vectors , without any symptoms. Hence they are infecting their Italian grandparents? Possibly?

I’m damn sure this aspect is being looked into by scientists worldwide - is there “something” in kids that’s beating Corona. Might be an opening to a vaccine.

This is just me thinking aloud and generally adding to the conversation hopefully.

What's the Whitney song that children are the future

Ireland is a pretty heavily affected area at this stage. Should we quarantine ourselves?

No where near as bad as it is in london

I just see the numbers in Italy dying daily increasing and because I made a comment that the half the country could be wiped out, I'm trolling, let's get real an awful lot of Italians are dying, it is heartbreaking what is happening over there and now looks like Spain, US and UK death toll is also rising, is it wrong to talk about the deaths, if so I apologise

There are about 4'000 deaths in Italy so far.

At a death rate of 6% if all of Italy got the thing that would be 3.6 Million deaths.

Even the most pesamistic among us here does not expect the 6% death rate to hold true for the wider population nor do we expect all 60 Million Italians to get this thing.

At a death rate of 2% for Italy this thing COULD cause close to a Million deaths.

Italy has 60 million people and even I cannot see a Million deaths happening.

The most vulnerable seem to be dying so as this thing spreads I think we can expect to see the death rate drop.

Should we panic? NO
Should we worry? YES

We need to take this thing serious.

What if it does the opposite? If most people in ICU are 75+ it could embolden young people who are already taking risks.

There was a YouTube video posted earlier. There was an Italian doctor speaking. She has some colleagues in ICU and she said they were 45/50 years old.

I have a dry tickling throat. Feels like the effect from drinking dry cider. Had 8 cans last night, so that could be it. Had a few glasses of hot water today and that induced phlegm. Got rid of.

Energy level grand. Was up and about doing some spring cleaning. Did a light 5 Km run.

I doubt it's due to the novel coronavirus.

Anyone who is smoking in general should stop it immediately if they value their lives. They say in 2 weeks to 2 months they heal themselves. You probably want to be as healthy as possible before you get infected.

These testing numbers are just annoying. Largely meaningless. For them to be meaningful, you would have to test the entire population every day. Testing should only be used to confirm infection because of presented symptoms. They are not a count of 'infected'

Perfectly put !

Stronger immune system

Not necessarily- takes a while to build that up. A 10 year old has a much stronger immune system than a 5 year old.

Why no under fives being killed by Corona? We’re not seeing that

As a rule of thumb in pandemics , it’s always the under 5s and the over 60s that suffer equally. We’re not seeing that with Corona.

Typical of that newspaper - sensational headline

Followed by

Some of my [colleagues] have noted people under 30 ending up in hospitals and a couple were vapors,” Glantz said, noting a link has not been confirmed.

Also the WHO found no higher numbers in smokers when checking the data from China

There was a single recovery yesterday. Recoveries went from 4 -> 5.

Not included in the briefing but apparently included in the data the HSE hand over to WHO, etc, as I was told by another user here.

Worldometer and John's Hopkins both have the updated figure of 5.

How in the world is all this social welfare/mortgage freezing/business saving packages going to be paid for? In Ireland and abroad? You understand a few weeks, but if this really goes on for months....how are governments going to find the money to afford this? All the time nonstop we hear about how there's no money for this or that that the public needs, and how they can't possibly tax rich people/corporations any more...ok....so how in the world will they fund all this for months and months?

Things are making 0 economic sense right now and people aren't asking politicians the important questions.

In serious cases Corona causes phenomenon the immune response can make this worse.

I know I made and offhand comment about the gangs of teens wondering around a few pages ago but I am genuinely glad to see children seem to be escaping the worst of this.

People in their 30s and 40s can get a serious case and die however most deaths have been older people.

ACitizenErased · 21-03-2020 09:10PM

I thought Ireland was the first country to develop 15 minute tests? Where did all that nonsense go?

First 4 recoveries were announced on 14th March. One was in the data yesterday but not included in the briefing.

Edit: Actually, it was the 15th March

Millions of people died of starvation during the great depression. If you look at the stock market the curve is pretty much like 1929. It hasn't found its bottom yet.

Yes, they are called loans.

The ECB is involved in quantative easing, again.

We are all getting the money loaned to us.

It could be skin failure or fin rot I would get it checked out.;)
