The problem is that their attitudes could have serious consequences for the rest of us. But you're right, I'm done arguing with people like that. It's just amazing how some can still see it like that given the statistics and information that's being shared.

All you can post is 7% death rate in Italy and 0.1% from normal flu.

If they can't get that through their thick heads then their just idiots.

I think i'm right with the 7%?

That's obvious. If you read my post I stated that it's a positive step. I do recommend customers keep their distance from the plexiglass and that staff cleaning them take precautions.

It's actually at 9% atm.

But, you would have to assume that there are far more untested/unconfirmed cases to get to that %.

Could you provide a creditable source for that investigation?

Just saw this from a reliable Chinese magazine which I follow: https://www.caixinglobal.com/2020-03-22/czech-republic-promises-no-loses-after-confiscating-donated-masks-meant-for-chinese-in-italy-101532318.html

Apparently China had shipped their donations to Czech Republic as there was no direct flight to Northern Italy, and there was a train ready to bring the stuff to Italy but the goods were confiscated uppon arrival by Czech customs.

The Czechs are now saying it was a mistake. Hard to know what to believe but I suspect they chanced their arm but had to come clean when they got exposed and China asked them what they hell they were doing with Chinese goods aimed for Italy.

The pictures of the boxes make it hard to believe it was a mistake - they have Chinese ans Italian flags on them:

Way too little and too late in my opinion.

Yes you are probably right. We definitely have a shortage of sanitizers, no masks, but It’s never too late, we must try maybe if everyone contacted local td via email, one idea, keep pressure on.

I've seen a few around Finglas. Nowhere near as many as usual though.

Italy is only testing people who are hospitalised

They are turning away anyone who isnt critical because their hospiteals are overrun

This is surely to blame for their death rate being out of kilter?
How many are recovering at home there,who never get tested?

Heres Johnny · 22-03-2020 08:57AM

A post a little bit back got me thinking, if there's any house burglars on this thread, you will probably be dealt with severely if you are caught in a house now. Dirty bastards probably wouldn't even wash theur hands before coming into someone's house.
Oh, and to any coke users, stop shoving something into your respiratory system that's been handled by the dimmest and most narcissistic 'don't give a flying feck about anyone' people in society.

Still seeing this on my what’s app groups as well , a mother giving out yesterday that the barbers were closed and her two precious boys were being denied a trim ..
I honestly didn’t think this country had so many thick people till this virus took hold. Had another friend asking everyone over last night for birthday drinks, like he invited 20 people into his sitting room , not teenagers that people are giving out about but grown men and women in their 50s in a small room getting pissed .. the mind boggles.

Never even mind that. Have a look at their concluded cases. So far 56% recovering and 44% dying. This will improve over time for sure but right now that's an awful stat and has been at 44% for at least three days now.

Are all passenger flights going to be grounded soon?

walshb · 22-03-2020 09:00AM

I still think my 1500 prediction be much closer to our March 31 total than say 8, 10, 13, 15 k..

We’re looking at 200 + today to bring us back to the 25-30 % increase...

Just to say I might know a few people who seem to have got it at a family event 4 weeks ago in this country. They didn't know they got it at the time. One in their 70's got a dry cough for roughly 10 days. One in their 80's felt fatigued/tired for two days. One in their 30's got a sore throat for two days and another in their 30's developed no symptoms. They weren't tested/ tested positive but someone else (a few) who were at this family gathering were since tested positive. That was only disclosed lately and then people backtracked on what occurred to them after the event.

Might. Seem. No symptoms. Someone else or a few? Which is it?

This post is absolutely ridiculous.

DOCARCH · 22-03-2020 09:00AM

With regard to death rate/percentages, I would take South Korea's as fairly indicative of what the virus is/will do. Death rate in South Korea is approx. 1.17%.

For western areas, i suspect death rate will end up being a bit higher for health reasons (like diabeties/obesity).

I'm in a WhatsApp group where some people are still quoting the number of deaths from flu per year. They're even throwing up deaths from poverty and C02 emissions. Basically their point is that this is all scaremongering. I give up.

Your at nothing I work in the hse frontline
Iv gave up arguing the point with people so many think it’s all overkill and are basically doing everything they used to do as normal they might use a bit of hand sanitizer or put on a pair of gloves like they are magic and give them 100% protection

I’m just keeping myself and my wife and kids at home safe the people who are going on as normal well best of luck lads I hope you are right honestly do

The only closed system we've seen a mortality rate from so far is the Diamond Princess. From the Diamond Princess we had 712 cases and 9 deaths (with 567 confirmed recoveries). That yields a death rate of 1.26%, which is a far more reliable indicator than any country to date. Given there being 136 remaining open cases we could see this figure rise - or it could be a case that resources aren't being concentrated on closing cases.

From what I've seen as well total passengers and crew numbered 3,711

So total on board: 3,711
Tested positive: 712
Deaths: 8
Critical condition: 15

An interesting one for sure

Very true. I'm unsure how it has taken so long for them to start . They mush have 100s dead already and not putting it down to covid19 until now. Thialand Cambodia etc all had cases 6 weeks ago

This is true

We have 5 recovered at the min and 3 dead (i hope it stays low like this for deaths)

But theres people getting hysterical now,what will they be like when we getting 500 plus cases a day

I dont know why they are not saying this more, obesity is a big risk factor imo. Larger mass = more oxygen requirement yet lungs are the same size. You also have the comorbidities that come with it, hypertension, diabetes etc. I had a cousin that was very obese who died from a kidney infection in her 40's. If you dont look after your weight you can die from (usually) benign conditions.

I guess it's not highlighted so much because the virus is here now and it takes months/years to safely lose weight. Someone who is obese/morbidly obese may not have time to safely get to a healthy weight before they get the virus. What we could see is 100s of people going on dangerous crash diets which could damage their organs and leave them even more vulnerable if they get infected.

Independent reporting 14 cases in a old people home, I’d be fearful we could see a big spike in next few days

My local supermarket is also doing that, but not so extreme. An extra 5€ for each additional pack of kitchen roll, toilet paper, etc with the money being donated to charity.

Obesity is much lower in Korea than any Western Country

Then the rich will just snap it up and the retailers makes more, just limit purchases.

Clean your hands well. Clean car keys. All inside car controls and door handles. Then clean ur hands again.

Although this could easily been predicted, it would have been handy to have had this sort of graph for the 'it's only flu' morons a couple of months ago.

That's just awful

Same happened recently in Würzburg, so far 9 from the 160 inhabitants have passed away.
