That's some good news. Hope all the staff remain good and healthy.

There's going to be more than masks needed for PPE.

Beidh lá eile ag an bPaorach. I think we need to be realistic and accept it's going to get worse. How much worse remains to be seen. Collective calm and reason would go a long way though.

Indeed, no one knows what will happen but Irish people are obviously concerned and their concerns are not unfounded,

I hope Ireland is, global leader’s in research in various bio pharma facilities and incredibly educated and talented people work in those facilities

Hadn't heard. Very soon to be expecting one now. Still need to do trials. It will be fast tracked but can't see it being that quick.

Stop misinforming people. Yes there are more cured at this stage then there are in intensive care. However there are approx 2K in hospital now. In Lombardia there are 244 people in intensive care right now. There are 364 recovering at home.

That's 2K in hospital 364 at home. Wonder how many are mild.

We can all use percentages / comparisons to make something sound different.
Here's a good one.

Of the 1777 people who have the disease currently in Lombary 79% are in hospital

Don't take my word for it. Get out the all calculator.

It's interesting that your profile was set up exactly when the virus probably started it's spread. Are you the virus ITman88???

Second quarter 2021 at the earliest for mass dissemination. If you're getting it before that you're in a critical condition, a clinical trial guinea pig.

IRL I haven't encountered a great deal of pessimism. This thread, like any social media, cannot be used as accurate indicator of the views of the public in general.

Ireland so far looks the same as everywhere else. The government and the HSE are doing as good or bad a job as those in other countries, yet we have nonsense being posted on her about banning travel and inept HSE. Some people just like a moan.

Just look at tonight’s figures. Posters started crying and moaning that there was a cover-up, not enough were being tested and the HSE and government were inept and we are all going to die. Yet if the numbers had tripled, the exact same posters would have been saying that they told us the HSE were inept, we should have blocked the flights, and we are all going to die.

Nothing would please them, they will always find a way to shout and cry and whinge and moan and panic.

Yes.

A University of Queensland team has met a key milestone in their fast-tracked research to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus, COVID-19.

In just three weeks, the team of researchers has created their first vaccine candidate in the laboratory and will move immediately into further development before formal pre-clinical testing.

The proof-of-concept milestone comes after the project’s announcement on 24 January as part of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) rapid response program.

UQ Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Peter Høj AC said the team has shown considerable progress in line with the highly accelerated time frame of the rapid response program, and the long hours in the lab have paid off with this achievemen

And no-one pretends to. Or I don't anyway.

The problem is that our closest neighbours are up to their eyeballs in coronavirus. And so while no-one knows what's going to happen, one can make a fairly firm assumption that the same thing is happening here.

In fact, there are a lot of newly-set up profiles in here which are suddenly very critical of the general public reaction to the public health emergency going on, while being quite coy about their own agenda.

I will add that unity in the face of this virus is recommended by the authorities, who aren't taking proportionate measures to contain it. Anyone with a grain of sense will be readying themselves as best they can for an all-out collapse of society, with loved ones dying suddenly and with regularity. They're no longer doing funerals in Italy. We're about three weeks behind them.

Today was the first day where they recorded no new cases in China according to BNO news. It looks like they may have reached a turning point with most people back to work next week, outside of hubei anyway. Maybe still to early to say.
