Not necessarily know someone today who has no fever whatsoever but has cough and tight chest and suffers from asthma who's gp ordered a test but couldn't give a time frame

Still has 2 symptoms so will get a test. Before it was just any of them

I stated it before but for the good of the US population Trump needs to be taken out of the picture.

Is anyone else just in total shock that this is happening and how suddenly it came along? I forget about it then remember that its happening all over again a minute after my alarm goes off every morning, its absolutely mad when you think about it. Bill Gates was warning us we were completely unprepared for a pandemic in his TED talks from 2015 onwards.

Imagine if this was some kind of airborne Ebola that was actually killing 90% of the people who got it, society would just collapse.

Suddenly how? Its called Covid 19. Its been known about since 2019!

I would say my trains today had about 10-20% of normal passengers expect it to be less tomorrow

Assume 1% I suppose.

New York is already shut down. Most working from home. No bars open etc.
Not much different to here. We aren't shut down either.
Nice broad statement though.

New York is not the US. By all accounts the Democrat leaders in these cities are doing good.

I think Leo got in on the fifth count. Who would have thought he would be leading us through a global pandemic a few short weeks later. Crazy how life works

I don’t know why gettin in on fifth count has been seen as a bad thing?do people not understand how our pr election system works?

The_Brood · 24-03-2020 10:32PM

One thing I'm not finding information on after today's news is how long have work from home measures been extended by? In the initial announcement a few weeks ago they were only scheduled until 27 March, but as evident this lockdown is continuing past that. By have they announced a new date for when non essential staff are asked to work from home if they can?

There are far fewer people flying in than that statement would suggest. Anyone flying into the country at the moment is more-than-likely a citizen returning home.

No, he said 22nd-23rd in the NVRL and that 18000 have received results. They also mentioned the 20000 a day looking for tests, which from the perspective of this are not practical or useful to test. I think they expect their new definitions to have much higher level of positives.

Doesnt make sense

Yes it will take time to get through the backlog.

When the service meets demand, there will be no waiting to be tested.

And results should be turned around within 2 days. It will become a rotuine test, like other laboratory services.

We're still in the early stages of setting up the process.

Knowing about it and being directly affected by it are totally different things.

i would agree incomplete, but ICU beds needed over a 3-4 week period do not matter that much, we have what 300-400 of them in the stays the same case with most people needing 14-24 days in ICU they are not leaving before the bed is needed, unless you count dead in 4-5 days of hospital.
if you need 12K ICU beds it does not matter who gets well if you only have 400 of them and they are used for 21 days per person

As someone who has experienced all of those things in the past, that could be and most likely to be 1 of a number of things that's not covid.

Suddenly as in things were normal in Ireland until very recently compared to some other places. It's pretty shocking how fast things changed in Europe.

WoollyRedHat · 24-03-2020 10:35PM

Quick question, if someone only has one of the associated symptoms that are minor, eg sore throat, are they ok to continue as normal, unless they begin to develop other major symptoms that accompany it e.g. fever and cough?

Just wondering is it the density in cities themselves or is it public transport in particular causing the main issues?

They have suggested deliveries but there just isn't the capacity and unfortunately people need to get their food somewhere. Anyway I think you misunderstood me as I was using them as an example of the numbers racking up easily in daily life. Also the contact tracing wouldn't pick this up, as there are many cases now origin unknown community acquired etc.

Of course keep your distance it will reduce your risk in a Supermarket but not eliminate it.

There have been close to 200 instances of the virus entering a country, or state in the case of the US, them going "oh crap", finding another case and then establishing the links between the cases before things get out of hand. Plenty of chance for one of these initial community transmissions to have been picked up from the tracing if the infection was happening in places like supermarkets or where people were not in direct or very close contact with each other.

I'm not going to be licking the handle of the shopping trolley in the supermarket or getting overly close with the checkout staff admittedly, but don't think the risks there are anywhere even on the same scale as the risks from public transport and being in an office with hundreds of others for hours on end each day.

However, telling everyone to keep two meters apart and enforcing that in places like supermarkets is a good way of training people to then do the same when they get on the bus and go to work where they are generally in closer proximity to others anyway.

froog · 24-03-2020 10:36PM

they should probably write off a big chunk of that backlog and start again with the new criteria.

Airport is dead, flights are almost empty.

Most returning Irish people home.
People arriving from countries like Spain or Italy are required to self isolate.

I think people are placing too much focus on this.

It's spreading amongst the community not from foreigners.

I would say self isolate until you talk to you GP and ask them.

I assume until at least 19th April. In reality it will be far longer than that.

Oh but you are, as is clear from your posting history.

And it is, over there, a Republican vs Democrat issue with many Republicans wanting to go back to work.

In general I don't care about US partisan politics as both are imperialist as each other, but in this case the democrats are definitely being more responsible.
