The pope cancelling meetings because of an illness after greeting crowds of people in a region where the virus is spreading rapidly.

I don't understand how it isn't acceptable to discuss that this may very well be coronavirus, is he immune to it due to his holy title?

He's an old man and just as prone as everyone else who has contracted the virus in the region.

He's not immune. It's just highly unlikely. Epidemiologically, it doesn't make sense but you continue to believe your conspiracy theories.

I never said he has it, I said it is quite likely.

If you are genuinely working on the "frontlines", you'd be best opening your mind up a bit and allow for open discussion instead of shutting it down.

God bless your bravery. Would you catch yourself on with your self adoration? You've no idea who other posters are or what they face daily or will be facing.
Your tone to another poster suggests that you are out of your depth pressure wise already and need to lie down and take a few chill pills.
Mods shouldn't have to police vitriol like that shown by you?
The poster"s comments may be left of centre, unlikely or they may be bang on. You're not the final arbiter of that.

Please explain how it doesn't make sense that an elderly man who surrounded himself with public crowds, not only being in close contact but also touching these people, could not potentially catch this virus?

Explain to me how the virus decided to defy everything we know about it in this one instance.

South Korea reported its first case of reinfection by the new coronavirus Saturday amid mounting concerns over the rapid rise in infections here.

A South Korean woman tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time, even after being released from quarantine, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC).

The 73-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with the virus earlier in the month, was released from hospital Feb. 22 after making a full recovery.

She started showed symptoms again Thursday and was found to have contracted the virus again Friday, the agency said

I may come across angry but the reality is that false accusations like these put increased pressures on A+E. So say somebody comes in with suspected with coronavirus (coming from a visit with pope Francis). Patient needs to be isolated with resp equipment (To cover if they deteriorate rapidly. Then next comes a 17 year old with an life threatening asthma attack, hard luck buddy, the resp equipment is tied up with the potential Covid-19 patient. The 17 year old died from a very treatable form of asthma attack. But due to fear mongering, loads of people present to A+E (with cough symptoms) blocking real emergency cases.

This is what I meant by consequences beyond the virus itself - your country slowly being closed off from the rest of the world.

I work on the frontlines. I've done so in Ireland and the UK. Open discussion does not allow somebody to be a pretend Sherlock about believing that the pope has the Corona virus. At Best, you are stupid, at worst, you are been malicious.

It looks like he has sniffles, which supposedly present in about 4% of coronavirus sufferers. Do you not think it more likely that he has a cold, and being old and seemingly of compromised immunity, he decided to avoid meeting crowds of people who might have a highly infectious disease?

Not seeing it anywhere else yet, but at 83 and meeting and greeting so many over the last month, he very well could. Would be very hard on his mostly elderly followers here, would scare a lot of them. Then a load of elderly men lock themselves in to pick the new one.

Age used to be respected as a time of wisdom … Now being old is seen as? A burden? Invalid?

There’s oxygen ports and tanks available on every bed and trolley in a and e and disposable nebs to administer medication with,so the 17 year old didn’t in fact die from an asthma attack.
Unless they had a drama queen like yourself looking after them that is.then they probably would die and would in fact be probably better off being dead.

I've only ever said it's a likelihood, as it is.

The man came into contact with numerous members of the public in a region with a spread of virus and takes ill after, so it's definitely not out of the realms of possibility and it is just as possible that he may have a cold.

Could very well be but a runny nose is a symptom of covid-19, where are you getting this 4% figure?

How unusual is it for a disease to have an incubation period of two weeks or more?

I've a cough and sore chest. Only time I've been around someone sick was two weeks ago.

NHS site says flu normally has an incubation period of between one and four days.

Also, I disagree with The_Dazzler on the coutry's general level of preparedness, but you need to cop on to yourself.

Still on Australia, and on Sunday, the country’s Home Affairs minister, Peter Dutton, said it was not possible to extend travel bans to all countries affected by the coronavirus outbreak, but he defended Australia’s decision to restrict entry to people who had travelled from Iran, but not South Korea, which has many more cases.

Australia recorded its first Covid-19 death on Sunday – a 78-year-old man who had been a passenger on the Diamond Princess cruise ship. He died in Perth and his wife is infected with the virus.

Rare enough, the likes of West Nile has a similar period but coronavirus incubation for the common cold is about 2-3 days, like influenza also.

SARS 2 could potentially be 14 days and there's been reports over 20 days.

You probably just have a chest infection. See if it clears over the next few days and if not, a doc might give you an antibiotic but hopefully you can clear it without the need for one.
