Apparently people from Clare visited it and infected a lot of people.

It’s either that or because the Chinese love Italy and there are literally millions of Chinese visitors every year.

Surely London and Paris will get hit badly as well?

What do you mean. They are working hard at tracing contacts and dealing with them.

At this point, proven to not be an effective strategy.

HSE seem a little more panicked today and not as sure of themselves

They are at the mercy of the chain of command. They're lucky, in a way, to be in possession of the facts that they're concealing from the public at large. I'd be interested to see if any of them have withdrawn their children from school or taken precautions like stockpiling.

I can only assume that Putin caught the virus early and sent it to the Gulag

It got ran over and killed in a mysterious hit and run incident in Moscow. Awful shame that, someone should investigate it.

It's not 'they', though, is it? All the cases in Ireland are Irish nationals who travelled back from Italy.

You can blame the Chinese for starting the entire thing with their backwards, unhygienic animal handling practices. You can't blame the Italians for it spreading in Europe.

I blame the Italian Doctor for bringing it to Teneriffe (and only 1km from the hotel I will be in next week - woo hoo)

The UK has announced that a patient there who had tested positive for coronavirus has died.

A statement from the Royal Berkshire NHS Trust said: "Sadly, we can confirm that an older patient with underlying health conditions has died.

"The patient has previously been in and out of hospital for non-coronavirus reasons, but on this occasion was admitted and last night tested positive for coronavirus."

It is the first death in the UK connected to the virus.

Shouldn't this kind of nonsense be saved for the conspiracy theory forum?

I believe a lot of connection between the worst affected parts of Italy and China due textile industries.

Yep, i'm not sure how pointing fingers to another countries is going to help. What's next? Blaming the first Irish people who brought it on the island?

The north Italy is also strongly connected to central Europe, where the virus arrived first

One Doctor’s Life on the Coronavirus Front Lines. ‘If We Fail, What Happens to You All?’

From the Wall Street Journal

In China, more than 3,000 doctors have been infected, according to official data, and at least 22 have died. Some medical professionals believe the numbers are even higher, adding uncertainty for doctors elsewhere confronting the virus. Untold numbers of family members have fallen ill.

Chinese doctors are working shifts of 10 hours or more. Many stay in the same hazmat suits the entire time, without food, water or bathroom breaks. Disrobing to eat or go to the bathroom could risk exposure...

could have done a lot better in explaining, this is as bad as the stick figures on the white board. Nothing about it spreads through droplets from notes and mouth and why it's important not to touch your face etc. better to have it all in one video

Nobody has immunity to coronavirus.

Please be specific.

Coronaviruses were first discovered in the 1960s. There are many viruses in the coronavirus group/family.

Surely people that contract and survive the Covid19 are immune from that particular strain?

Can someone please explain why northern Italy is a hotbed for this virus?

This is the known timeline:

• end of January - First case in Germany - linked to China
• 13 February in Valencia - First known death in Europe - diagnosed only this week - no known links to China
• 19 February: Valencia fans travelled to Bergamo for match with Atalanta
• 20 February in Italy - first patient is diagnosed there - after 1.5 days in hospital - no known links to China

42 new cases in Sweden. Total of 94.

Sorry. When I say coronavirus I mean Covid19.

And yeah you're right, there may be immunity for those that have had it already. But that's not conclusive yet.

It's not of much comfort though.

Don't know about the UK, but the virus was in France since at least 13 February, when the first French victim (with no links to neither China nor Italy) started developing symptoms.
He was diagnosed later and after 6 days in Creil hospital.
Creil (in the Oise region) is a now a cluster. It is commuter town connected to Paris by train to Gare du Nord station - same station where Eurostar departs to London.

Something is seriously wrong here.
The HSE are being very slow in informing the public about cases.
