Came across something interesting today which said that the lack of pollutants in the air will result in a 1.5-2 Degree Celsius rise in temperatures very soon as it normally reflects sun light away (similar to the greenhouse effect). Therefore, if this is true, we can expect some crazy weather across the world over the coming months to make matters even worse.

Anybody knowledgeable in this area?

So stop polluting to stop climate change but now there is less pollution the climate will change.
Well that not very helpful at all at all.

It seems that Dublin and Cork will bear the brunt of this disaster.

Just looking at Belgium
15 March they had 886 cases (4)

Is Ireland one week behind ?

One thing I'd throw into the mix here is that both NL and Belgium are much densely populated than Ireland. NL has 17.5m in an area the size of Munster.

Yes

A quarter of all confirmed Irish cases are associated with healthcare workers.

Are we missing something here? How does that compare with other Countries?

Yeah I failed university years ago and never been same since. Not been able to function or do what I want to in life. Held down a job no problem but not been myself for as long as I can remember. I can't think of anything I could do to protect my parents that everyone else isn't doing but maybe on these I'll be able to think of something. Thanks for the kind words.

I have some experience of them, they can be useful short or long term to give you a window to make changes, reaching out for help is the first step to getting yourself better, these times we are living in a very challenging but we can pull through!

froog · 22-03-2020 12:36AM

once this blows over we'll be able to get very accurate mortality rates by randomly testing populations for antibodies and extrapolating the true extent of this thing. i suspect it's extremely widespread with a huge amount of asymptomatic cases in the younger demographics. i think a mortality rate of 1% or below is quite plausible.

Uk paying 2500 pounds a month to people who lost job due to virus. 203 euro a week in Ireland. Sad

More propaganda PR bullsh1t rather than actual solutions. Only applies to employees where the employer holds on to the staff. But the employer is entitled to nothing. So he goes on fending for himself, paying insurance, bills etc while the staff get 80% pay for sitting on their hole. Which employer in their right mind will carry the can for months in the hope that he requires all those staff if the business resumes.

Add to that the fact that if it was taken up by all entitled the bill would be over 10bn per month. More bluster from Boris.

Thought Germany had decreased cases but i've just seen they've added 7,324 cases today!

But this is not the time for messages about global warming, she probably realises that. Most countries are in partial lockdown and their governments are fighting the virus.

Personally I think the global crisis boosts her campaign rather than weakens it. She has been warning of a world where society gets turned upside down by forces outside its control....that will surely resonate with many people.

I'm not saying it's the time for climate change protest. All the energy she put into it in 2019, imagine if she put a fraction of that into informing her peers and followers about best practice with Covid 19? For somebody who is so concerned with saving the planet... This is a crisis.

I see italy are also calling for retired nurses and doctors to come back with the crises going on, a potential death sentence given how its ravaging the elderly population?

Would you compare Ireland to Norway, then ?

I don’t think it will have changed much because it’s a cultural thing. My understanding is that it’s just their way of live; multiple generations living under one roof, pulling together so everyone has a good life together, without fear or pressure of money woes. It’s a cultural way of life I’ve long admired, as someone close to his mother and brother, and I find it a shame so many people over this side of Europe run as far away from family as possible.

(Current pandemic not withstanding..l)

Quite a number of posters here have said they have stopped visiting their parents, older relatives etc. Pray this is true across Ireland at large currently. Hopefully it stops an ‘Italy’ happening here, if its true that societal structures are contributing alot to Italy’s current woes.

I don't really see the need for it......she might even fear being labelled a bandwagon hopper and an opportunist if she started putting out a lot of tweets about Covid.

Does 20 secs of hand washing completely remove virus from your hands if hands become contaminated? Think about it, the amount of things you touch daily in public places and if those surfaces are contaminated and you touch them and put your hands on your face, nose or eyes you risk being infected without knowing it. No wonder the virus is flying around rapidly and people who ignore social distancing makes infection far worse.

When I go to shop now. I limit my visits to shop once a week. I wear gloves. Go shopping and when im finished, I place my shopping in boot. My boot door handle is potentially contaminated from visit to shop so after I close boot door,I take my gloves off correctly and aseptically and disgard. I open drivers door and get my anti baterial spray and spray my boot door handle and then finally spray and clean my hands throughout. I won't make contact with any parts inside car where possible before cleaning my hands. Car keys seat belts, wiper and indicator controls, handbrake steering wheel light switch,radio and dashboard controls door handles window levers i will clean and disinfect before driving off and sanitize and clean my hands again after all this before driving off. I am a freak but doing my best to be careful but it's not easy.

I am spraying down all my shopping and sanitizing everything before entry to house. All disinfected shopping is placed on countertop once complete and my hands fully washed before touching the disinfected item's again. Are we all doing enough to combat covid 19?

Statistically based on confirmed data yes.

In reality many many more people have the virus than has been confirmed, therefore the mortality rate will be a lot less than 9% in Italy and 4.3% globally.

I hope it will be much lower, but both of those number have been increasing. Also by the same token how many deaths are being put down as 'pneumonia' in old/and or sick people in areas yet to identify a large outbreak.

Also the Italy number is showing us what happens when a health system becomes overwhelmed.

Exactly, the earth temperature dropped 1c in the days after 9/11 due to all the grounded flights. This should see significantly more.

I wanna say that's a bit OCD
Yes washing your hands destroys the virus as the soap breaks down the lipids
