In 2 or 3 weeks time we could well be told that a similar proportion of our population (around 8% of Italy's) is affected in the same way.
That'd be maybe 80 cases and 2 deaths.

Again context. 4 people died in car crashes in the last 72 hours.
By the same rates as my quoted post, in those same 72 hours 174 people also died of other diseases.

Known risks we are all aware of that we must accept.

We have airbags in our cars we wear seatbelts.

Many older people put a little prayer card in their car.

What is point are you trying to make again?

Great attitude.

Why not stay off work Monday and do everybody there a favour.

The overlords won’t tell us to not come into office till this has become a major medical situation.
Until then it’s use up your 23 days annual leave or else come into office where people are so run and selfish they just sneeze, snort, snuffle and cough away to themselves all day with no consideration to others nearby.
And even in most corporations you cannot take annual leave on short notice.

If you catch it... I take it you have not caught it yet so why think like you have it?

I can't avoid people so there's a possibility of catching it. You can do all the hand washing but it takes a second to forget and touch a contaminated surface and bring it to your face.

Right, but if anything I find the context kind of grim. A lot of people die from cancer. Now, worst case scenario, we have another cancer (in numbers that is)

Chances of the FE1(solicitor) exams being postponed? Thousands of law graduates flocking from all over the country to the Red Cow hotel from next Friday - 16th of March?

My understanding is that it takes a few days at least to be contagious, it follows a similar pattern to other viral infections. i dont see for instance how say two hours after you got infected how your body would produce enough viral load to infect another person.

Yeah that’s fair enough. I should have probably said you have the remote possibility of being contagious after hour 1.
Do we have info on when someone has become contagious, when is the tipping point?

Will vary from person to person ergo some people have symptoms after a few days, others take 2 weeks for it to overwhelm their system

It's backed up by data from South Korea and the cruise ship as well - which probably have the most thorough tests to date. 0.5% of those infected have died in South Korea, and 0.8% on the cruise ship. Of course, those numbers still make this something that needs to be taken seriously, but they're reassuring compared to the 3%+ fatality rate indicated in some places.

I've taken the info from worldometer. If I've made a balls of any of it someone let me know please.

So should we use dettol wipes when we have a **** now?

Sorry but i'm sick of the ignorance and people throwing around irrelevant numbers.

I'm asking you how do think people in Dublin would feel if they were told there were over 1,000 cases and 29 people dead in a week?

What do you think would happen?

Business as usual here?

Is that what you think!?

Edited my post above just fyi
No, of course there'd be mass panic. But that doesn't affect the numbers.

Very good post. You have excluded the epicentre which makes sense, why have you disregarded the Iran death rate?

cause the Iranian figures don't add up - the death rate far exceeds anywher else , ther is conflicting reports from medics and government on the actual number of deaths themselves , I certainly would discount Iranian figures -

the butcher

We haven't even hit the natural peak (I mean we only started to confirm a case) and people are calculating/estimating numbers of the death rate here.. it's going to be different for each country due to all the different healthcare systems and the resources available

You are speaking a bit pessimistic there. I cant avoid people either but I won't go around thinking I might get it.

habanero sauce would be more effective
