If you look at graphs for Italy, over the last few days, new cases, day by day, have been coming in below the 33% mark That would indicate that they are starting to flatten the curve.

Not necessarily. It could be testing fatigue, or due to the system being overwhelmed, that some deaths are not being officially recorded as being due to the virus

According to a mayor in one of the affected areas this might be the case:
"There are significant numbers of people who have died but whose death hasn't been attributed to the coronavirus because they died at home or in a nursing home and so they weren't swabbed.

Italy first case Jan 31, by Feb 28 they had 650 cases so 28 days.

Ireland first case Feb 29 today we 906 cases so that's 22 days .

This is really frightening .

Case number are not actual numbers. It's only an indication and not very useful for comparison.

How the hell did China get from 8000 cases a day to less than 50 in two weeks?

Are we not testing in far greater numbers than Italy in that period?
Have we not implemented social distancing far sooner than Italy ??

So this might trigger some sensitive souls but....

I'm late forties, fit and healthy, My attitude is I want to get the damn thing, fight it off, as a healthy immune system will, quarantine for the recommended time, and get on with my life.

If I get it and recover do I get a badge to say I'm allowed to act normal again?

What of you have an underlying condition that has not been identified yet. The morgue for you

Much safer not to get it : you're dealing with a total unknown here, a 'novel virus'.

Anyone know are the supermarkets selling any dettol type wipes or are they continually sold out? Anyone seen them back in stock?

You don't.

40,000 on a waiting list so anyone looking for precautionary test is living in cloud cuckoo land. Very narcissistic really. Stay at home and do as advised.

Was just wondering earlier how many of the 40,000 waiting for a test are time wasters and have done this? Some people are hypochondriac and love turning up to doctors and hospitals unnecessarily.

Some will do it for social media attention too no doubt.

Not many, but definitely some.

If your going to a beach, giving out there is to many people on the beach, you're part of the problem. I was out myself today for hours, and Im not in a position to criticise others for being out

The underlying condition stat is being held like a comfort blanket to some people.

This came up earlier in the thread.

Its a myth. Plenty of young people with no history are being intubated due to pneumonia caused by coronavirus. The numbers requiring ICU and ventilators in Italy is so high that they are not treating people over 60 who are also positive. They have over 7500 ventilators. We have a fraction of that.

3 Doctors at a hospital in London are all on ventilators "in a bad way". They are all 30 years old.

The stats are already out there. A lot of people are under 50. The median age in Ireland who have tested positive so far is 44 years old.

There are now 6 more labs available.

What part of no testing kits right now did you not understand. If there are already 35 testing centres and are now another 6 and another handful of labs to receive and run the tests, only one of which is WHO accredited, what difference does that make to the 40,000 people waiting to be tested. Its quite simple. My first answer should have sufficed.

It won't. They simply do not care. I've got two teenage girls in the house, faces stuck to their phones and completely oblivious to the world around them . We have had blazing rows with them trying to get them to understand the reasons for isolation. Thank God we live in the arse of Roscommon nowhere near towns. Teens have no clue of the world outside Snapchat or Instagram or TikTok. One of them asked me if France has a coastline the other day, for Christ's sake. Jesus.

I despair at times, we have never had access to so much information yet that generation can be so out of touch. Have a 32 year colleague who is never off those sites, has a friend who is an influencer/vlogger (Jesus wept), she heard me describing someone as half Maltese and says to me "how could she be half Maltese? that's a dog". She's come out with several classics since COVID19 has made it's appearance.

Surely so many of them are just dying to do their hospital selfie for their likes and attention

Try Dealz if you have one near you, you'll probably be able to get the spray, not sure about the wipes

Being out and keeping a distance doesn't make you part of the problem does it? Have I missed something here?

Kits will not be a problem. They are working on a deal for 100K kits from China every week. Labs stuff I don't know how quickly they can turn it around but they may add more labs to the network.

Aren't they adding the agricultural labs in order to up the throughput?

There seems to be a move away from age as being a big issue today and more a concetration of under lying issues. In the UK anyway

Yes, including to Ireland. I've read plenty of accounts of Chinese officials advising authorities in Europe.
