Not much help considering 3rd level won't be getting an Easter break tho?

The majority of 3rd level colleges have an Easter break. All the IoTs, UCC, TU Dublin, etc. take two weeks. Some such as UL, NUIG etc. take one week.

The guy in Italy had very clear symptoms but decided to run a marathon while not being able to and as a result the virus hit him hard. If he had sense and stayed at home and went to a doctor instead of the stupid 'nothing will stop me' attitude then he most likely would have made a full and quick recovery.

Is that actually true? He's reported to have gone to the doctor 3 times and been diagnosed repeatedly with flu before finally developing pneumonia. He did infect a friend he went jogging with, so he was exercising while infected but I've heard nothing true about the marathon/half marathon. It's generally a bad idea to exercise with some illnesses, and Covid-19 appears to be such an illness, so the jogging could be part of the reason he is so sick, along with how he seems to have been getting on with life for so long while sick. The advice is that rest is essential if you start showing symptoms.

So just to piece together the information, in terms of hospitals we now have restrictions in is 4? Mercy University Hospital Cork (which, as a big Dub, I'm not sure is different to CUH?); Cork University Hospital, Navan Hospital and University Hospital Limerick.

Any others?

That's already a lot of capacity taken out of the hospital system, 13 confirmed cases in.

You can add UCHG to that list by the end of today.

Then why would they not say that they are in hospital?

Recoverati con sintomi literally means 'Recovered with symptoms'. It does not mention hospital. they may be there but that is not clear from the column header.

My reading that seems to make more sense is that Recovered with symptoms means that they are still showing positive.

Healed would be those who are now recovered but not showing as positive any more.

Now if you can show where the initial column actually means that they are in hospital then I will agree but the column header does not show that. Why would people who have 'recovered' be in hospital?

You spelled it incorrectly. Its Ricoverati which means hospitalized. Recoverati means recovered.

I'm going for double digit increase in cases this evening - be surprised if it did not follow the trend of other countries.

That guy did go to a doctor looking to be tested and was given paracethamol and told to go home - im sure he thought he was ok

No link. Someone I know who needs to be informed of this was given the update.

Rang the hospital myself and they confirmed that it's closed and no one entering except next of kin only and critically ill.

Waterford hospital has been on lockdown since December.

It is; generally everyone who was admitted to hospital as a serious case got it.

But, like in Ireland, eventually people will get treated at home instead with only the most serious ending up in hospital.

Sorry no link but it is 100% confirmed because I have a lot of Chinese friends and this is shared by WECHAT( Chinese chatting software).

Thank you for getting back.

Would you happen to have any details? Has it been confirmed, even in the chat, that there is a suspected case/ is there someone with symptoms/ are people being tested? How many businesses are closed?

Is Golden beach supermarket closed at Number 137?

Any update appreciated.

I was meant to be in Italy this week for work but it got cancelled. Travelling to Spain next week, no restrictions on travel there yet. Unless we really kick off here with infections and they don't want me coming.

Be careful and take all recommended precautions.
We now know that the virus was in Spain at least since early February.

Spain had the first known death in Europe on the 13 February (initially though pneumonia, and diagnosed only this week) in Valencia and the victim had no known links with China.
His death pre-dates the first case in Italy (20 February)
