So if people weren't travelling through Northern Italy we would have no cases? Great thanks Italy

This is China's fault, not Italy's. You would be as well to blame Irish people as Italy. No, blame China for allowing their medieval market to continue after they knew the hazards and yet didn't enforce their own decision to close it.

(I noticed last time because there is no April 31st, and I googled it to see if there was some joke I wasn't getting, but it says Dublin on the 29th..)

Just Googled yep your right mid week 29th, I'm such a flobberhead sometimes.

Edit: Just checked my concert ticket, definitely Wednesday 29th.

I'm quite drunk, not sure if racist but I think that's OK.

Shocking to think of how it's going to impact people in shared accommodation.

People are posting here because they are scared and want reassurance, and that applies to the jokers here too. Statistically most people will be fine if they follow the guidelines.

I feel like if I hear another word of reassurance I'll scream! All we are hearing from authorities is reassurance. Anyone would be forgiven for thinking that what is happening is that we have all entered some mild nervous breakdown and got a little jittery over the flu and now need the authorities calming us down, because after all this will only kill 2-3.4%

Except those couple of percent of people are our parents, our sick friends /family /kids.

Are we suddenly happy enough to dispense with them provided we just get a bit a sniffle ourselves? Well I most certainly am not.

Our health service is in no way able to handle a full blown epidemic that requires mass hospitalisation. Pretending otherwise will result in more deaths than we have seen in China, we have less capability to deal with it than they did. Its more than infuriating to see the HSE lying about that and refusing to tell us where affected regions are etc.

I really feel like this an instance where we can not afford to be handled like delicate snowflakes who need sheltering from reality. Let's adult up and accept that in the face of somethings you need to be afraid, it's the only sane response. Fear exists for a reason, to curtail dangerous behaviour. It will actually save us, not kill us.

Yeah, read about that elsewhere a few days back if same story, they speculated that cats possibly could get it too. Let's hope this is an outlier

No, they determined it was just virus picked up from the environment and that it wasn't infected.

It's not an outlier. They rounded dogs up in China, there are awful pictures of soldiers beating dogs to death in the streets.
It was one way they saw of curtailing something deadly.

That dog case came out last week from Hong Kong. That's actually very worrying. I'm not able to get my head around this one. Like, did a human infect a dog or dog infect human. Then there's other scenarios, could other animals become infected too like - cows, sheep, pigs, etc.

Then if this becomes like a yearly flu, can animals and humans infect each other?

It's all so new.

I see they might be delaying the Coachella Festival which is a huge festival in the summer calendar in the US, I could see the same happen for Glastonbury and Electric Picnic with cancellations if the virus hangs around. Saying that Electric Picnic is supposed to be announcing their lineup next week, so will have a gawk at that if this thread becomes too heavy.

Yep,as somebody who has worked with major Chinese hospitals I can tell you the big cities municipal and university hospitals are well funded, have the latest equipment (budgets not a problem) and well trained medics. ,They simply got overwhelmed in Wuhan, many of the people who died never even got to a doctor they were dying at home or in hotels and 'quarantine stations '. That's the real problem ....Timely medical access. They have it well under control now after isolating people St home to reduce the transmission rate and allow them to catch up.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense. Have you been to these so called hospitals? I bet you haven’t.

There are many varying degrees of hospitals in China. The only ones with comparable health to the West are foreign run private hospitals. They’re far too costly for most local people.

Rural hospitals are a joke

These “well funded”’public hospitals you speak off. Name just one. You can’t can you?

Public hospitals are like airports. You queue up when you arrive and wait to be dealt with. Standards vary from hospital but even in major cities and even in the public hospitals you’d need to be going to the VIP areas. Even at that, it’s reasonably modern and standard of medics is higher than the public system

Make no bones about it, healthcare in China is NOT comparable with the western world.

I’ve visited China very regularly in the past and have attended a major hospital in a major city as a patient.

Regardless of coronavirus a doctor shouldn't expose patients to stuff unless they need more business

Infuriating listening to that fool! Telling people to go out and enjoy themselves -'go to the cinema' :eek: 'go to restaurants' :eek: It was almost like he was told to come out and save the economy!! What he said was in stark contrast to advice given by a doctor, who was on with Jake Tapper on CNN, stating that we all bear a responsibility in preventing the spread of the virus, by maintaining social distancing.....things like temporarily reducing socialising in public places such as entertainment or sports events, reducing our use of non-essential public transport or recommending more home working. Harry Barry doing a Donald Trump on it is just ostrich head in the sand madness. :mad:

Balls. Vietnam had no cases for like two weeks, and now we've got it in Hanoi because of people travelling through Italy. It's just down the road and that place is apparently being quarantined.

This is the hard part of knowing when to shut schools and businesses. I'm at the end of my seventh week with no work, and it just gets to the city now so probably even more time off.

great interview with bruce ayleward...interesting point for a lot of you who think you're not in the high risk group...he found that in china there are lots of examples where healthy 30 and 40 year olds succumbed to the virus and the doctors still have no idea why

People get medieval in these pandemics. If things turn out like Wuhan then any authorities around the world that gave everyone the "it'll be fine keep the borders open" line should expect to be tarred and feathered if not lynched by a mob lol
