3 ‘lads’ coming out of one of the Dunnes stores in Dundalk today were definitely not observing any social distancing. Laughing and joking about Coronavirus and old people. Didn’t look like siblings to me. Save the planet my arse

Less than 2 weeks behind Spain. They broke the 1,000 confirmed cases barrier on March 11th IIRC.

And they now have 1720 deaths from just under 29,000 cases and their pm warns country 'worst is yet to come'

Not sure who said if you're young your going to be fine. I think it's been quite obvious lately that young people can and do get this virus and some do end up needing respirators. Long term, well we will have to see about lung damage as it's all so fast changing and it will have to be studied after the fact.

That’s what would worry me enough to keep social distance. I would be worried about unknown long term affects that it could have more so for kids. although they don’t seem to suffer bad from Covid19 we have no idea of long term consequences of catching the disease. That’s not scaremongering, it’s just something that crossed my mind and it means I’m conscious to social distance which can’t be a bad thing, even if it’s a bit silly of me thinking that

Does anybody know what Simon Harris has in mind when he says they’ll meet on Tuesday to review the measures in place and get any advice on further restrictions?

I hope they’ve a plan in order for further restrictions and how they’ll be carried out and don’t dilly dally for much longer.

Expect cancellation till next year.
Within 4 weeks we'll know if Tokyo is cancelled.

They may live together. But still they should be distancing from others. And they won’t be laughing in a few weeks when reality hits them,

I'm genuinely not trying to scaremonger or speculate or anything of the kind but, we don't really know all that much about this virus, do we?

I know in particular case, a young man from Ireland went to Italy when he was warned not to, contracted the virus, was cocky enough to say he's fit enough to get over it and yet, he was on breathing apparatus to help him for a week with it.
An 18 year old has gotten a bad case of it and this is all after we were told if you're young you'd be fine.

And then, we don't even know if it does any lasting damage.

I'm absolutely astounded by how quickly this has spread throughout the entire globe

We are told that there are at most 6 degrees of separation between all people on the planet. Best understood by the number of handshakes you are from say the president of the USA. This is a demonstration of this in action.

Thank you for this breaking news

All the calls for a lockdown but they have to get the timing right.

If they get it wrong the benefit will be minimal as people won't comply and leads to civil unrest and non - compliance leading to further spreading of the virus.

The lockdown will happen at some stage but it has to be timed right to be effective in my opinion.

You have information that doctors/scientists don't even have at hand yet? My god that's impressive, share this with the world.

Unless the inflammation it can cause is some sort of magic inflammation that can't cause knock-on effects and the fluid on the lungs is some sort of non-infectious happy fluid then I believe the doctors are fully aware that it can cause long-term damage. No need for the attitude.

You are talking nonsense. Very serious life altering/threatening lung damage is a known feature.

Fair play to McDonald's closing all stores. There isnt much left to close for this lockdown everyone wants, mostly just shops open now .

That's the one positive thing I see. A lot of companies are closing of their own accord. I was shocked when I heard Germany's lockdown allowed the likes of barbers to stay open.... wtf... and Italy's lockdown allowed factories to stay open.
I mean we're nearly in a lockdown but all that's legally supposed to close is schools, childcare and pubs.

most places are closed in fairness but I think we will see social distancing and curfews being enforced with teenagers.Can probably see a lockdown happening on most beauty spots . The majority of the country are doing their part.

I hope to God it’s soon. I know they’d have to get some sort of patrolling in order.
But I can’t bare to see our health system getting over whelmed which is a scary reality!

Sir Oxman · 23-03-2020 01:41AM

The increasing ICU bed occupation is alarming.
Fingers crossed.

What ever justification you use to social distance, I don't care, just keep doing it.
You just have to view anyone and everyone as infected.

Not a lockdown anyway. He seemed to be suggesting that they could introduce new restrictions - I don't know what these are but he might suggest a limit to how many people can be together in public or ordering people to stay away from popular beauty spots.

No it's not that.

Please tell me how I sanitize my hands on entry and exit of supermarket is less effective than gloves.

The gloves don't kill the virus. The gloves still spread it. People still touch their face etc with it.

That and people wearing masks are just feeding their own fears.

marilynrr · 23-03-2020 01:43AM

Quick question about Italy.

I read that they normally have 1588 deaths per day.
Has anyone seen anything about how their overall deaths per day now compare to the average deaths per day they normally have?

Yep, factory I work in is still proceeding with full production, no sign of even a slowdown... if we made medical devices or something I'd understand, but there's nothing coming out the doors here that can't wait. But hey, they'd rather put a few thousand technicians at risk than lower profits.

Don’t mind him/her. Some serious high and mighty goons on here. Think they haven’t had a breath of fresh air in months let alone hours. This thread is their livelyhood lol.

How is it alarming?

It's expected and they have extra beds now. It's gong to increase even more.

I still think the ICU numbers are encouraging.

ALBANY — Oscar-winning movie producer Harvey Weinstein, now one of New York's most notorious prison inmates after being sentenced for sexual assault, has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, according to officials connected to the state prison system.

Weinstein, who turned 68 last Thursday is being isolated at Wende Correctional Facility in Western New York, officials told CNHI Sunday.

He is one of two Wende inmates who have tested positive, the officials said.

Weinstein is serving a 23-year sentence for rape and sexual assault in a prosecution that attracted world-wide attention amid the #MeToo movement.

Officials familiar with his situation said it is believed Weinstein was positive for the virus when he entered the state prison system last Wednesday from Rikers Island, a New York City jail.

Happy now?

I asked this some time ago.
I’m curious as to how this rate will be effected?
It the rate daily has risen to 2300 per day it’s insane, not so much if come December the yearly death toll has not risen

I'd like to hear this also. no mention of this anywhere from official sources. if there is confirmation there is life altering damage even to those discharged with milder doses (outside of confirmation from some lad in his room with a tinfoil hat), then I would gladly accept it.

Assuming she takes the gloves off correctly she is less likely to have the virus on her hands compared to someone who is pushing a trolley around with their bare hands.

She’s effectively shed the virus from her gloves and into the bin. It reduces her chance of having it on her hands. She may be shopping for someone vulnerable or live with someone who has a compromised immune system. It may seem silly but “shedding” it into bin before going to car reduced the risk.
