You can be sure Sky will find a way for their cyclists to test negative

Pasta. Everyone is buying pasta. We have moved on from bread

Like you am a wine git. But I have to disagree about the pasta. There is NOTHING like fresh Brennans Bread ever. I think they put some substance in there that is addictive!

Are the Italians still testing random people? If not, are all the new cases ending up in hospital or are mild cases being counted too?

They’ve introduced screening because the number of infected people is rampant. I’d be quite sure Ireland would do the same under similar circumstances. Right now I think we’re following the right protocols.

And how do you reckon it got to the stage that the "number of infected people is rampant"

If we could only learn from others ...

Will be very interesting to see the figures coming out of SK in a few hours. Yesterday for them it blew up completely with 500 new cases in a country with one the best health services in the world.

If the WHO are to be believed then there is no large amount of hidden cases. They said it at their conference and was posted in the thread yesterday

Yeah and they also said that meant the fatality rate might be more like 2-4%, which wouldn't be good. We should hope they are wrong.

A case fatality rate of between 2% to 4% rivals and even exceeds that of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, which is estimated to have killed upwards of 50 million people. Even a case fatality rate of 0.7% — which means 7 out of every 1,000 infected people would die — is sobering. It is seven times the fatality rate for seasonal flu, which is estimated to kill between 290,000 and 650,000 people a year globally.

Yeah it appears so, only people left on this now are people with a sense of humour and common sense, both qualities only exist together I’ve discovered from this thread

Could you link to where WHO said it may be as high as 4%. That seems extremely high and personally have never heard anything over 2% being quoted from a reputable source.

Asking for a friend here I heard that the Corona virus only comes out at 9AM on a Monday morning.

Seriously. A bit of perspective is needed on here. Of course people should take precautions like washing their hands and trying not to sneeze all over whatever room they're in but to read some posts on here you'd think there was an oncoming apocalypse.

I realise some of the disaster fantasists will tell me I'm not acknowledging the reality here. I don't care. Ye're away with the fairies.

I'd put money on the disaster fantasists being the same pondlife who go around coughing and spluttering everywhere when ill and prolly don't wash their hands at all or, at best, make a perfunctory effort of washing their hands: perhaps half a second under running water. Go into the jacks in any shopping centre. Only a minority will wash their hands properly.

Simon Harris is following advice from the WHO and people like the Chief Medical Officer. Have a read of this from NEJM: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2001899?query=featured_home

Harris is listening to the head of the WHO who has lost nearly all credability and seems more interested in shouldering his benefactors than dealing with the reality on the ground.

The head of the WHO has repeatedly praised China for imposing restrictions and locking down huge areas of China - whilst the same time claiming that to do so elsewhere would be not be a "proportionate response" Seriously WTF?

So it is just a bit of a conspiracy now is it ? Ruining our imports/exports/Tourism OK who is behind this travesty!
