So I've taken another look at the figures and something jumped out to me:

Italy 528 +58 14 +2 42 35

In the last couple of hours, Italy has cleared an additional 39 people on to their recovered list, which is great news to be honest. The severe and critical list remains the same.

With 14 people dying from 528 confirmed cases, they are coming in at 2% CFR.

So are people fully recovering in 2-3 days?

I’m gonna sound really selfish here but I’ve my dad booked in to respite just for a long weekend in March. My head is fried being a carer and I really needed the break from it.

No, not selfish at all. A wonderful decision for both you and your dad. If you are fried, he has nothing

This way, you both win.

Honestly I don't know, I thought you're looking at up to 14 days from onset to recovery dependant on severity.

I can't remember where I saw it (pretty sure it was a reputable source though) that only 4% of sufferers have upper respiratory tract symptoms, so blowing his nose would suggest it's more likely just a cold? Though the dead ambassador isn't a good sign..

I would think so. Just a coincidence.

Yup - you can't claim on your travel insurance unless its an official "do not travel" government notice (I suspect it will be for Milan before they travel FWIW).

British Airways have cancelled flights to Milan.

The Pope probably has a cold if his nose is running, but he is in a high-exposure job and a high-risk age group. Just imagine having to convene a conclave of elderly cardinals in the middle of a pandemic!

If he posted a link to the briefing, it would be more useful than his synopsis tweets, though obviously not in his twitter interests. Anyone manage to find the link?

Nvm, found it

"There is no clear case of transmission from people who do not have symptoms."

Dr Sarah Doyle, HSE.

That is factually incorrect... See the British super spreader.

Still doesn't seem to be huge amounts of information coming from China.

Wuhan is on lock down 5 weeks now, yet cases are still being diagnosed albeit on a lower scale than at the start of all this.

Still nearly 95% of all cases (and deaths) are in China.

Just curious how long they expect the lock down to go on for.

They also tweeted "its a global health emergency of international concern", that was announced a month ago.

If the Chinese have to annihilate Wuhan to contain this, they will.

If it wasnt so scary it would be impressive.

How can they say

'' it's only like the flu, the flue kills 600,000 a year'' and say it like it's a good thing?

So should we expect 600,000 or more deaths?

Any one get the wats ap message going around 27 different videos from the streets of China,
No idea if there real but if they are this is a lot lot worse than people are letting on ,
