Thats suggests a CFR of 6.3%. Sounds high to me if Italy has a CFR of less than 5 from testing only serious symptom cases?

It's more along the lines of a worst case scenario sort of figure but Italy has more ICU beds per capita than us, we could conceivably be one of the worst hit in the developed world with an under resourced health service and an unprepared interim government.

I agree with you almost entirely, but just wanted to add the point that even if healthy, it wrecks your lungs.



Stop wasting my time.

You said mild cases can be left with lung damage, once it hits the lungs you are no longer mild.

Three new cases, all "Local Transmission" as the HSE puts it. Doesn't say where yet.

I’ve been following this thread and I know a lot of people have been giving out about the “sure it’s grand” attitude they perceived from the government / HSE, but I just watched Leo there and it frightened me

The HSE gave up on that line a day or two ago (abadonment of false positive messaging). They recently said 1.9m contracting this isn't unimaginable.

Not in Kansas

NYC St.Patrick's Day Parade putting up a defiant front on social media saying it has been run every year since 1762 and they haven't been told otherwise for this year yet.

If you have symptoms you get your infected ass away from everybody else and do not spread it.

You only care about yourself is that it?

There's a lot of "only old people will die so you'll be fine! " floating about even from statistics type people, which is disgusting. How easily they forget their parents and grandparents.

Thats what I don't understand - apart from Iran it has not taken hold in developing world , I feared the worst for places like India and parts of Africa

If no one is in a wood to see a tree fall, does it make a sound? Just because you can't see some numbers on the screen in front of you, doesn't mean the things those numbers represent aren't happening.

Wow I was sure we would be announcing a hell of a lot more. I hope the smaller numbers continue.

Level 42

Ireland were to slow to slow to react can we all agree on that.

Europe closed at -8%, the US will follow similar (-7% currently).

Oil was kicked down 20% in one day, and a price war is looming between Rus vs SA & Co.

Predict global markets will have to cease, or apply limited trading for 8-12wks during peak pandemic, then only gradual recovery towards mid-summer. Then there's a potential Wave2 in November.

Can somebody explain wave2 in November thing?

I find it virtually impossible to believe the same virus that has infected thousands in the space of a couple of days in Italy and Spain has racked up less than ten here. Impossible.

Not true.
Children who had very mild symptoms were scanned and lesions were seen. That's how they knew the kids had it (before the tests were developed).
They make the point to keep an eye on it going forward in after care as lesions maybe likely in kidneys and testes as well.

Previously linked in one of my previous posts to the med article, if you want the source dig back through them. though that was over a month ago, and I havent seen any more recent updates.

Stats are stats. There are no emotions in statistics. Presenting stats does not mean old people are expendible.

Is there an up to date list somewhere with the details of all our current cases? Sex location and transmission?

Three weeks of intensive care though?

Raconteuse

It's the default for Irish people to whinge about the way things are done here but I don't see evidence that the HSE is doing a bad job overall. Any worse than any other country at least. Imagine the stressful nightmare that it is for healthcare workers.

Sadly I think Vlad checked out weeks ago. He can only think what socks he will wear to the White House, and then what life together with Matt might be in another country. Sorry if that sounds offensive, but that's what I am getting.

So the new TS is Harris. I know he is MFH but haven't heard a word from Coveney, has anyone else?

The tragedy of all this is, there is no elected Government, only those carrying on in the interregnum. Can't blame them for not having full on control either. Although they are trying.

SF have been kind of silent too as have FF in all this. Running for cover I suspect and delighted they don't have to deal with it. I am noting this attitude for the future.

This WuFlu can become seasonal (annual) and mutate slightly with time, Inf A/B, even Swineflu is still making the rounds each year, in many countries.

Our summer is flu season down in the Southern Hemisphere, so it may loiter (mutate) down in Aussieland, then come back up here again for Winter.

Vax not on cards until approx March 2021.

// Take a look at the Spanish Flu 1918, it was Wave2 that did all the damage.

No I responded to your claims that society would break down, do you not think it would be better for the vulnerable to be isolated and the fit and able try to keep society going to provide for them.

3 weeks of intubation and ventilation is scary though. Undoubtedly he'd be dead without such intensive care.

They still hiding those 3 cases in Drogheda?

Italy is in full on meltdown, tanks in the street, riots in 27 prisons.

Tanks in the street were for a NATO scheduled training exercise...
"the largest deployment of U.S.-based forces to Europe for an exercise in the more than 25 years."

What a grossly irresponsible statement by that Professor from the RCSI that this has the potential to kill up to 120,000 in Ireland. If the entire population end up infected the vast majority, including over seventies with underlying problems, will experience mild flu-like symptoms, at worst. Corona is a virus which dies and leaves the body after five days. Take paracetemol and plenty of hot drinks.

Didn't realise we had experts on a completely new virus and both its effects and how to cope with it

Even if you are an expert in real life you are an anonymous internet poster here, so please keep such "advice" to yourself
