No it isn't. Its pure paranoia. If it was so dangerous to fly to London then why havnt the flights been cancelled or banned?

I know not everyone is great with numbers and looking at graphs etc but from our base of 785 yesterday :

If we increase this by 30% a day we have 10000 cases by end of month.
If we increase by 15% a day we end up with 3000 cases.

I don't know how either figure will impact health service but I know which I'd prefer. Social distancing might keep us to 15%, big crowds will not.

If that 30% continues for an extra week the numbers rise to 60,000 by 7th April

If 15% continues for an extra week we are at 8,000 by 7th April, less cases than even end of March at the higher rate of spread and a week longer to even the workload

Come on people, slow down the spread, flatten the curve.

I think I understand the 30% rise a day that was dished out by leo. The 30% would factor in the see-saw figures we saw in other countries. Some days we might show less than 30% rise and other days, we might go over the 30% rise but the 30% would be an average estimate.

Just watching the U.K. daily update, journalist claiming some London hospitals running out of ventilators already.

Why are you on this thread? What do you think 'public health' means?

It's everyone's business, and if people like her end up infecting my parents I absolutely will not let it go. I would have thought that was blindingly obvious, maybe you don't care about your family and friends.

To control the levels of panic. They probably had you in mind when they phased the information.

It will happen. And soon.

We have specific influencing matters that we have to deal with and they need to enforced not asked, or we will be fire fighting a health system meltdown, which brings on triaging questions that Italy surgeons have had to implement (ie not treat the elderly and medically unfit).

Proper social distancing. I went for a drive yesterday. The number of cars in car parks outside shopping centres was ridiculous.
Aggressive messaging to young. The median (middle age) right now in Ireland is 44. Kids think they are immune to this they are not. There are 3 doctors in Wales on ventilators, all aged 30.
Proper Equipment for medical profession. Of the total infected 25% of them are medical staff. They don't have the right protection gear.
Closing of Traffic in and out of the Country. The Chinese claim any of their new cases are due to people coming back from foreign jurisdictions. Circular re-infection. The UK right now is a massive problem as people travel freely between Ireland and the UK. Their handling of the situation has been farcical. They will bypass Italy's levels.
NI Border. Because of the UK position that has varied from herd immunity to no proper social distancing enforcement, its clear that NI has been forgotten about. Their case numbers signify little or no testing. We could tackle this during Foot and Mouth, this is a lot more serious.

But defriending will eliminate the virus.

Something that seems to have disappeared and was never questioned, or ridiculed...

You needed to spend 15 minutes in the company of someone with the virus...

It’s gone from that, to stop saying “hello” to people..

What was it all about?

I remember first hearing of the 15 minutes contact and thinking, wtf is this about?

As I understand it, 15 minutes is the time it takes for transmission to be likely (not sure what percentage chance that this is taken as). If you stand beside someone for a minute you could become infected but the likelihood is much lower

What does your gut say about the situation in Australia, where the temperatures are already at summertime temperatures for Ireland?

New York has 11,099 new cases today!!!

F**k!

Not all states have updated yet.

But as I say this could be seen as a good thing because it means testing is now more adequate as Dr.Fauci was pointing out, it needed to be done, so at least on that front they are successful.

US mortality rates, relatively speaking remain quite low, or at least not as bad as some other countries currently are experiencing.

Yep, the CMO answered it like that a couple of times this week.

They absolutely should be, because of selfish morons like her.

Flights may be intended solely to get people back to their homes, but people like her will still think it's ok to travel to London because flights haven't been banned.

They need to be stopped immediately for everyone's sakes.

If nothing else they will be much less colds and flu around and it will be easier to identify it

No evidence at all first point.

Spot on with second, thanks for pointing it out, personally hadn't though that far ahead.

How are you so incapable of understanding the implications of other peoples actions on wider society.

Yesterday you were telling people to ignore someone spitting on the street and now this?

if you are only doing this to keep yourself entertained on Boards, then that is even sadder.

I wonder if it really is 11,099 in "one day" or maybe they are tests done over a number of days all now being released simultaneously. Some countries are reporting statistics over multiple days, Wales new 7 deaths updated today were actually done over the past week or so. We'll find out more tomorrow if this trend continues.

The weirdest thing about all this is that Spring has clearly sprung and yet we humans are starting to hibernate.

GAZA (REUTERS) - THE first two cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the densely-populated Gaza Strip, Palestinian health officials said on Sunday.

Gaza is essentially the largest open air prison in the world with an inadequate health care system. It is the 3rd most densely populated polity in the world, with approx 2 million people living under a brutal Israeli lockdown. Because of the Israeli sea and air blockade, the population is not free to leave or enter the Gaza Strip, nor allowed to freely import or export goods.

This has the potential to be one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters

Finding it hard to let go of simmering rage I'm feeling towards a friend who selfishly decided to go to London to see her boyfriend on Monday, 6 days ago, and has since come back to infect everyone.

People who just suit themselves and view this as a big holiday just make me sick tbh.

She has actually infected people?

Very likely alright, hadn't considered that. Positively though deaths are down, hopefully the start of a trend.

I would agree that frontline is a bit lively to be applied to a supermarket worker. But I think we can all agree that those working in the supermarket are helping to keep an essential service, i.e. access to food, open and deserve due respect.

I never said they don't deserve respect, I worked in a supermarket myself for a while but I would not like to be equated in anyway with a doctor exposing themselves to the virus working XX hour shirts.

Multiply all numbers by 10,that is the real number of cases.

Obviously that a huge guesstimate, but in an odd way that would actually be good.

It would mean that large numbers have mild enough symptoms that they are not requiring hospitalisation.
It would mean there are large numbers of people who will recover from it and be free of it (or at least this strain of it). Assuming these people are self isolating or at least social distancing now, they will become the firebreak later.
