CNN was also reporting that a sudden loss of taste or smell has been associated with a lot of mild cases, as it has for previous coronaviruses apparently.

All Budweiser drinkers to be isolated immediately.

Worth noting that there is evidence to suggest that feral oral route is a very real transmission route. Think Nora virus.

I'm wondering if a negative feedback loop can occur where the viral load is increased if someone has diarrhoea. Health care workers getting hit hard. Could be due to increased exposure / viral load.

Anyway if you have the runs make sure you are anal about cleaning the toilet. Better still let no-one else use it if you can. Crack a window. Go bananas with the detol.

I dont understand why this information only coming out now. I heard/read reports of this in early February coming from China. I dont understand why its taking them so long to confirm what the Chinese have already confirmed. I remember a Doctor John Video that mentioned in Apartment complexes in China they thought it was spreading through the plumbing.

Any reason why we have terrible reporting on cases in our country?
What is worth the information as 'one woman died in east of country'??

total boll***s... as it means absolutely nothing.

does not require a name but could say this old with there health conditions infected this way or whatever..
not just about deaths but generally reporting here is boarding on criminal.
no wonder why it is spreading this much this fast since people are absolutely not aware of the dangers of it.

There are reports that up to 48% of those infected in China reported Diarrhea. For some reason WHO and most authorities do not appear to be highlighting this. I heard at the WHO conference yesterday somebody asking this question and they were a little vague at answering. They basically said its not necessarily a primary condition (or something on those lines).

Been following this doctor in Madrid that has covid-19
He never had a fever and diarrhea was a pretty regular symptom.

Maybe this has been dealt with here, but what is the story with 'heavier load' infection. The suggestion being that the first in the house gets off lighter but then the rest potentially get a very heavy load due to living with infected person and potentially more severe consequences

Because there's no need. Stay 2m away from everyone regardless, bar people you live with. Fairly simple really.

And you're delusional if you think people are not aware. No-one has spoken, read or thought of anything else for weeks. It's inconceivable the vast majority of the population don't appreciate the danger.

Hubs went to Lidl on Sunday. It was well-stocked. We got everything on our list except for rice and eggs. Eggs are the gold dust item currently, I’m finding. Probably a surge in home baking happening.

Also, Trump is so stupid he’s pretty much guaranteed to get infected so he’ll probably end up hospitalized from this. We’ll see how well his cures work then

I wouldn't wish this on anyone else on the planet except for maybe Arlene but I would be delighted if Trump caught the virus and ended up critically ill from it. I don't want to see him or anyone else die but it would be fitting if he ended up totally fcuked from it and unable to continue.

Yes there is quite a bit of confirmed evidence now that make the guidelines not as effective as they might seem.

Did he make the connection between Diarrhea and people having worse symptoms or a more severe case of the bug ? I cant remember where I heard that, just curious if hes also seen this happen . .

I would also wonder that if people end up on hospital with breathing difficulties would a few of them forget or fail to confirm that they had diarrhea ? (when you cant breath, going to the toilet would be the last thing on your mind).

I’m nearly sure the eggs issue was due to an outbreak of birdflu at the start of the month with one of the main producers in Monaghan

intellectual dosser · 24-03-2020 12:05PM

Perhaps its been asked to death, but is there a firm reason why we're still officially on only 5 reported recoveries? I'd assume there are a lot more by now even with the criteria for proving recovered.

I'm guessing that efforts are going into tracking positive cases, and unfortunately deaths and we'll catch up on recovery statistics later?

Just checking if there's a better explanation.

I went yesterday out in a car and was shocked to see more people than ever in my area of Dublin walking sitting in cafes talking walking dogs children riding bikes and what not running and so on it was sickening.

so ya, you should restrain from diagnosing people who you absolutely don't have a clue about, if you'd come here and look around you'd be shocked too.

MOR316 · 24-03-2020 12:07PM

Finding some of this a bit baffling to be honest.

I've read about people having it and having no symptoms at all. So even if you feel fine, you could just be a carrier? Without it affecting you?

That can't be right, can it?

Most people with confirmed infections are told to stay home if not in difficulty. And are not being tested to prove recovery, instead they are told to continue to self isolate for 14 days after they last have symptoms. So we have no way of actually knowing who has recovered or not, though presumably many have and most will.

Of course it can. You are still 'shedding the virus'. That is the issue. Many people have it and feel nothing. Its why testing is so important.

Again, more information that was available weeks ago and yet Western democracys were talking absolute bollox , with a couple of feet and an arbitrary 15 minute window (talking with somebody) chosen as a reasonable precaution.

To be honest I feel I have always been a few weeks ahead of the authorities, not because I have access to information that they don't, but because I have only been looking at this from one perspective, how to not get it or stop the spread.

That said, I understand its been difficult for their mindsets to change and not easy to get populations to follow them. Look at how idiotic people have been, absolute belligerence at giving up a few luxuries has been quite eye opening. It is no surprise that they have had to close things in bits because a fair amount of people are simply not very intelligent when it comes to this and are more concerned with pleasing themselves then preventing this from getting worse.

You can have Covid-19 for up to two weeks before showing any symptoms.

And for many, those symptoms could be very mild when they do show up.
