3174 masks per person per day if it's a 7 day week. Probably doable as I reckon the process is heavily automated.

As long as the masks are able to stop the minuscule particles otherwise its damn useless as is anyone who is not sick as they would not be available for who needs them. Also are they multi use or 1 use

I don't see US pharma workers working for the same rate of pay as their Chinese counterparts tbh.

Some things are more important than getting the cheapest price when your production is controlled by an adversarial state, I'm surprised it has been allowed to go on for as long as it has.

I rang the HSE helpline last night cos I basically have all the symptoms and have come back from a high risk area a week ago and they said a doctor would call back within 24 hours.
Still waiting.

Can’t help but feel they’re just ignoring this.

I dont see China manufacturing medical supplies when you actually need them. Some things are worth paying more for them. As it is Black Market prices wont exactly be cheap.
When medial equipment in hospitals start failing and the arts come from China, it will be a big wake up call

And the people certainly wont pay more for anything produced to allow the wage increase.

They will when they have no other option

No updates on numbers out of Italy today. Which is a bit worrying.

There's a finite number of people they can get around to testing on a daily basis. China had the same problem for weeks as the daily death figures hovered around 100 each and every day for a while and new cases around 800 i think which i guess was them just appeasing media with numbers.

or they've had no reports of new cases and the quarantine is doing its job so far

They've managed to do what the Chinese couldn't do and they've also found an effective treatment that stops people dying?

But they haven't told anyone about it?

The swines!

Nothing is more important than profit.

Does anyone believe this came from some clown eating bats?

Nope! Too much of a coincidence for me that it first started infecting people in the vicinity of the viral lab.
Then coupled with the virus is a mutation from bats, snakes and pangolin with maybe a smattering of HIV makes it more likely in my books that it's an engineered virus.
Probably tested on some convicts that in fairness the regime has a poor record on. Organ harvesting, etc, etc.

Given the high percentage of Italians travelling testing positive, I'm starting to wonder if the figures coming out of the country itself are a serious underestimate

Mate, they've done roughly 100 tests over the last month or so.
They managed to do 10 tests yesterday. That's your ramp.

Perhaps I'm wrong, as you say I'm no risk management expert (are you?), but 100 tests over the period of a month seems wholly inadequate to me.

I'm not bashing their entire response to this crisis. Much of it has been as good as you could expect. It's just that I fear they're flying blind and I expect they're scrambling to catch up.

There are too elements to being a risk management expert on a particular issue. One is to understand the concept of risks, mitigation, costs, alternatives etc. The second is to be an expert in the subject area.

I understand enough about a risk management approach to see that is what they are doing, but don't have a clue about medical issues to be able to know whether they are right, but they are the experts.
