Thínk you'd be mad personally. Also factor in if the virus explodes in Italy flights home may be cancelled

I'm not stirring anything. I'm correcting your bull**** and others bull**** in this thread.

Data analysis is supposed to be your skill/job and you are useless at it.

Your mentality is basically this formula is posted on the WHO therefore it is 100% accurate.

I've already provided clear evidence why it's not which you choose to ignore.

As long as you keep posting crap I will keep responding to it.

There needs to be some sort of balance counter to the amount of crap being posted here as fact.

I think you're right on the money by the way but people will believe what they want regardless.

If people hate numbers they shouldn't throw them around and then complain if their numbers get questioned. Anyway, they believe what they want to believe

Does anyone know of any good forums not constantly derailed by people ignoring the massive actions being taken and so deep in denial that they can't see daylight?
Because this is painful, this thread is wrecked with em.

I probably wouldn't go.

Because it if spreads to Rome like other places in Italy. You may be put in lockdown & be stuck in Italy for months if goes the way it has in China

It's just a human reaction. Especially when we've live through so much relative peace and prosperity. And we've had the threat of a "pandemic" so many times that hasn't come to pass that if it does happen it's just too much of a shock to the system. This is why the only thing to wake people up is firm government actions - anything less and people will be too shellshocked and more or less get on with life until the cases rocket.

I can't find one either.

They're all full of people who don't understand risk or who are an emotional mess.

I think Dr. John Campbell (https://www.youtube.com/user/Campbellteaching) is about the only consistently reliable source of information.

If the Minister for Health is reviewing public gatherings, such as the rugby match, what else could fall under any action taken? Surely gyms fall under public gathering, schools and offices, or would it just be to keep the Italians away? I didn't go to the gym today after reading this thread. Probably 5/10 concerned, doesn't help that I am diabetic

Is it possible to think it's both much worse than what's been reported and also not as bad as I think?

I think you would always have option of crossing the border to get out of Italy and getting home via road and rail if it ever came to that.

Feckin HSE ****....no instruction to call helpline, saying that risk is "low", total complacency. "We will try to contact who is infected" - laughable. List of countries outdated, only mentions China.

Risk of catching coronavirus
There has been no confirmed case of coronavirus in Ireland.

The risk of getting coronavirus in Ireland is low.

If there is a case here, health professionals will try to contact anyone who has been in contact with the infected person.

If you are not contacted, you are extremely unlikely to catch coronavirus.

You do not need to follow any advice in relation to coronavirus if you have:
- not been to mainland China
- not been in contact with a person who has coronavirus
- not been to a healthcare facility where patients with coronavirus were treated
- recently returned from Hong Kong or Macau and have not travelled through mainland China

Not a big fan, but compare with NHS! I'm sure they will put Italy on that list in few days. While HSE still have only China there.

The UK Chief Medical Officers have raised the risk to the public from low to moderate. But the risk to individuals remains low.

Call 111 now if you've been:
- to Wuhan or Hubei Province in China in the last 14 days (even if you do not have symptoms)
- to other parts of mainland China in the last 14 days and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even if it's mild)
- to Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia or Macau in the last 14 days and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even if it's mild)
- in close contact with someone with confirmed coronavirus

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Call 111, stay indoors and avoid close contact with other people.

Tell 111 about any recent travel and any symptoms you have.

Fleadhs, Arts Festivals, Cooking festivals, list endless, gigs in Dublin, Cork etc. (5/10 for me too, concerned enough.)

Why don't you have a little read of this before comparing covid to flu again. This is how calculations are done properly when there is enough data to support it.

This has not currently been done for covid. The WHO's method is useful for comparison to other outbreaks for risk assessment in the early stages but it is in noway an accurate number.

Those, including you, who have been comparing the WHO's 2-3% number to flu's 0.1% are comparing apples and oranges. You have also stated as much as 30% of people who catch it will die. Along with many other bull**** statements.

Maybe everyone here in Boards should email HSE like nuts, bombard them with emails to update their website and info. I've to play my session in Cholis tonight, probably full of Italian, Japanese, South Korean and Singapore tourists hahaha.

Oh yes it's ironic that I'm having a go at someone who's been saying crap like as much as 30% of people who will catch this will die.

Point out what I've said that is wrong then and back it up with "facts".

I've done it several times already and it hasn't been countered once.

So many people dont realise how serious this is spanish flu started slow but then wiped everything in its path, look at any chart of serious disease and covid 19 comes second to spanish flu ahead of swine flu on case confirmed at this stage on each serious outbreak people also thing its like our colds and flu when its not look at the critical numbers these people who are critical are more than likely not going to survive it which my estimates are coming in at around 18% death rate compared to what the media is saying it is at 3 or 4% china has clearly lied about fatalities iran and italy situation kind of confirms this unless these asian countries somehow adds the numbers up different
