Thinking about the CT scan angle, it would not be good at early detection... but would a lot of people already in hospital for serious respiratory conditions already have had a CT scan on lungs?
Maybe they should be re-checked for traces of coronavirus...

A giant parade on 17th March certainly won't help things however.

Just tell Macnas not to come!

There was a doctor on CNN Chris Cuomo other day, he said a Cat Scan could instantly find those infected far quicker that the current testing can.
a simple scan will show it up.

Lungs ?

Italy crushing it again Today, 36 more deats and 1000+ new cases. Lucky for us it shouldn't happen here as we won't get community transmission.

Doubt you'll be so blaise in a months time.

Health Minister Simon Harris has effectively ruled out restricting flights arriving in Dublin from Northern Italy due to the coronavirus.

Doesn't seem much point bringing this up any more...

We have probably passed the point whereby it would have made sense, but I think the minister should learn never to say never.

Many politicians in Europe have found themselves having to directly contradict what they said just a few days are weeks earlier related to this virus ...

Imbecility levels are gargantuan this evening.

Some astonishing shight being posted , keep it up good peoples. I really hope the people " spreading" such garbage don't possess the ability to spread anything else. Some of the tripe getting posted is bewildering.

I am off to the pub, I have a life to live.

Happy Weekend all.

Why? Why were they doing CT scans in Wuhan as a diagnostic tool then?

In this country? Right, because the virus is going to behave differently here...
Whatever % the UK is projecting is valid for a projection here, with a 1 month delay.

No who says it'll behave differently ?

My point still stands is that sort of stuff that causes panic. No wonder people were told not to take everything read on here as gospel

You did. Your posts are just exercises in evasion. Someone posts a UK projection on figures, you challenge it as no one has said it will be like that "in this country" and it's panic to post such 'stuff'.
If you want to challenge the UK figures do so.

Why doesn't the HSE recommend what to take in self isolation if one is suspected of having the virus? Like take aspirin or ibuprofen, drink plenty of water etc.

Itssoeasy

There is another case confirmed in Galway but that would make 20 not 23.

Could we get a Coronavirus verified news thread only, and not have to listen to every schoolkid trying to get half the schools in the country shut down?
