Is there some logic to this ?

If I were a sliced ham manufacturer I'd employ women in their late 30s/early 40s to hang outside school gates pretending to pick up their kids and get them to strike up conversations with mothers wearing sunglasses on their heads (you know the type). "God this coronavirus is awful, I must drop by Supervalu on the way home and pick up some SLICED HAM before it's all gone."

Guaranteed the shelves would be cleared nationwide

No need for all that effort just but a false story on Facebook and watch the gob****es share away and all will be swearing blind it’s true.

Italy's name is going to be dragged through the mud with Covid 19. As a nation, they are single handedly exporting the virus to countries all over the globe.

Tourism in Northern Italy must be massive..

115 cases in UK now. Not too bad.

When this dies down, i'll get my vaccine and off to milan for 3 weeks. Dirt cheap.

Singapore have done very well to curb their initial outbreak - and in such a dense place too.
I wonder what their new infection rate per day is like?

If you divide these numbers by population then 1 in 8500 people in South Korea have it and 1 in 17000 in China have it. I find China's numbers hard to be credible based on those numbers.

Not as dramatic an increase in The UK as I would've expected.

Northern Italian airports are a cheap point of access to Italian, French, Swiss and Austrian Alps aswell as the general tourist attractions of Italy itself.

Massive throughput of tourists.

With the toilet rolls yes.....you will be using the toilet a fair bit if you get coronavirus by the sounds of it...

China is more like about 1 in 160 as most cases took place in Wuhan.

It actually is a really useful service. My uncle's funeral was in a church where they stream the church services and it was great for people who couldn't make it to the funeral whether because they were too sick or were on the other side of the planet.

Yesterday the UK jumped from 52 to 85 (33). Today 85 to 115 (30). Less than yesterday, hope that's a good sign.

Most countries seem to report early in the day but we tend to find out around 8.30pm..wonder is there a reason for this. We'll be more relaxed at the end of the day?!

What's the odds, that from everday now at 7pm or 8pm the hse release a statement with new cases and ireland quickly becomes an epicentre for the virus in western Europe. The HSE CEO looks very worried.

Looks like it's almost time to head west to the Aran Islands until all this blows over. They may have had a rough time of it recently with the storms, but they could have the last laugh yet!

No it's because big business told Leo to do that so workers won't be slacking off mid afternoon checking the news.

Or all these HSE pen pushers do it late just so they can claim more overtime on the gravy train.

According to this article 249 in 2018 and 255 now

https://www.rte.ie/news/health/2020/0211/1114690-icu-beds/

The number of ICU beds available is totally dependent on having sufficient specialist nurses and medical staff to attend to them.

These specialists do not drop out of the sky at the drop of a hat.

Unlike the 'normal' ICU beds, the beds must be in an isolation unit because this is a very infectious disease. One of the reasons the Chinese built a hospital in 2 weeks.

If any of the specialist nursing and medical staff must self isolate... the problem is compounded.

Difficult times ahead.

But they don't know where 8 of the new UK cases got the virus from, so H2H now taking place in the UK

The cases are going to up eventually, might be none today or the next day but as time goes on it's inevitable we are going to get what the rest are experiencing.

25 of those cases in the UK were in London. Hopefully all with travel history otherwise....

*edit* 8 of them have no travel history. Person to person spread.

Note the amount of doctors and nurses getting it worldwide. Existing beds in system minus beds taken out because you don't have enough staff is no fun.

If percentage wise we surpass the UK it would be a poor show.

Ok the UK are 113/67 million i.e. 0.0000016% confirmed infected

Republic of Ireland: 6/4.9 million 0.0000012% confirmed infected

Nothing in it BUT our numbers for today are not confirmed whereas the UK's are.

Away With The Fairies

I don't understand how people are saying that normal flu is worse. There's a vaccine for that. I only ever got the flu once and that was 8-9 years ago. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to come down with it again anytime soon, I do have a healthy enough immune system. I read something that 70% of the world's population will have this Corona virus. That is quite alot and almost guaranteed to catch it at some point unless I become a hermit.
