I am sitting here awake tears in my eyes reading this, cant sleep as my one of my kids is worried Im going to die. It was the last question I was asked last night before they fell asleep.The second last question was whether they would get it and die.

How do I reassure them?



This is heartbreaking

Just reassure and do it over and over again, Your voice and your words and you being there will ease this. ((((HUGS!)))) And look after YOU!

If this is true the situation could get very unstable in the next few weeks. Where do you live? In a sense if everyone else is still oblivious you should go and stock up on a few weeks of supplies now before everyone realises whats happening.

Reading the list recently many have stocked up. Wisely.

A bit sweeping considering all Irish cases, so far, have been hospitalised, but that's just for monitoring (rather than them all being seriously ill).

Precautionary admnission verses "had to go" to hospital. Once we hit ICU capacity, precautionary admission goes out the window.

One quarter of people who have to go to hospital die?

Yes. Rounding for clarity.

If the hospitalisation rate is 20%.
And the death rate has been 5%.
Then 5/20 = 1/4

So the ban is on anyone who has been in Europe recently, not just EU citizens. Even a Brazilian or a South African who has visited a Schengen country cannot fly on to the US.

Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, Croatia are not in Schengen and therefore are excluded from the ban, too.

All of the people talking about how it'll only be 0.9% mortality should consider the following:

1. 20% of people will be hospitalised.

2. Many of these will develop Bilateral Interstitial Pneumonia.

3. Even if you survive this episode the long-term consequences can be devastating. There are many types of interstitial lung disease but mean survivals range from 2.5 to 7 years. Let's be optimistic and assume that with this it is 5 to 10 years.

Well, reducing the life expectancy of a large number of people in Ireland to 5 to 10 years and having these years be very limited in terms of their ability to do anything active and maybe people will begin to realise that even if we only have a 1% death rate now having a 9% rate of long-term complications from interstitial Lung Disease reducing life expectancy for this cohort to 5 to 10 years would be utterly devastating to the country and really drop average life expectancy for the next couple of decades.

There's a reason China is doing full lung transplants on survivors already.

People are just far too blase about this.

I've read and listened to many commentators and not one has detailed outcomes like this!?

What's this based on?

Where is China getting all the healthy lungs from?

Mind summarising? So hard catch up on this thread.

Just reading my multinationals update for each region. Absolute mess to be honest. So many country legislations, travel restrictions, site closures and employees testing positive in different sites.

Important to remember that we are a small island and what goes around can come around.

It's not as simple as some make out.

America bans travel from Schengen area EU countries, blames EU as well as China for the “foreign virus”, had to quickly clarify he didn’t mean goods. The impacts of this are gonna be wild.

Oh, and Tom Hanks has the virus.

Trump says he's cancelling all flights to America from Europe for 30 days but actually has done nothing of the kind and plainly has no clue about what his own government is doing, and you think this is the occasion to express the view that Leo is a joke and not fit to be leader?

Interesting.

So what has he actually done? What has the US government done? Issue a travel advisory?

That's the bit I can't understand. It's criminally negligent if them at this stage given the stories coming out of Italy.
