Why is everyone wishing for lockdown and school closures.

Its going to happen but the longer it can be put off the better. shutting down before most of europe or the UK just means the shutdown will have to last longer. Longer shutdown means more non Flu deaths

Community spread will cripple the health system.

it will likely happen anyway at this stage but these measures are to reduce the impact, wake up.

Thank you so much for your kind words though.

I'm really sad reading this. Please look after yourself, look to the future. The Coronavirus would have a huge likelihood of killing anyone with issues like this in the second phase of infection.

Even beyond that, it irreparably damages the lungs, even of healthy people.

The scans determined that 86% of Covid-19 patients have ground-glass opacities (GGO), while 64% have mixed GGO and consolidation and 71% have vascular enlargement in the lesion.

Ground glass opacities indicate partial filling of air spaces in the lungs by exudate or transudate, as well as interstitial thickening or partial collapse of the lung alveoli.

The lesions present on the CT images were more likely to have peripheral distribution (87%) and bilateral involvement (82%). They were also more likely to be lower lung predominant (54%) and multifocal (54%).

Just over 70% of the patients were aged between 21 and 50, and 78% had fever as the onset symptom. Only five patients showed disease associated with a family outbreak.

The researchers also compared the clinical characteristics and imaging features between non-emergency patients with mild cases of the disease and emergency cases of severe or fatal disease.

Please sign this petition so we don't have wave after wave of USUK people flooding our shores. EU neighbours will also have to be shunned for a while. We will have to learn how to make the most of supply chains across the country. This is going to disrupt the whole country, even young and healthy people, nobody should think they're getting out of this unscathed.

Please look after yourself and take a break from being online and reading all the doomsayers. Go outside and breathe in the air, look at the budding trees and see that life still goes on. Yes I am being that dickhead, I know it sounds so trite but I promise that it helps. I dont do internet hugs but if I could, I would x

This will probably get lost in the tide of posts but I hope you see it and know that people care

Hilarious how our officials went from "no big deal, low chance of being affected, just the flu" to "close the country" in a matter of days. Its not like we knew this 3 weeks ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad its happening but the way this was handled was a ****show once again.

we have only 43 cases.

We are being more pro active than other countries.

Jesus ****ing christ.

Im sure she's aware of how dangerous it is; there was no need for the above.

The following measures will come into effect from tomorrow until 29 March:

Schools colleges and childcare facilities will close from tomorrow.

Indoor mass gatherings of more than 100 people and outdoor mass gatherings of more than 500 people should be cancelled.

Where it is possible to work remotely people should do so.

Mr Varadkar said we need the public and businesses to take a sensible approach.

caveat emptor

Ok good progress. Schools etc closed.

Flights need to stop immediately to stop imported cases.

Corona virus is likely already rampant in the US due to bad testing and lack of testing. The orange clown said it was a hoax days ago.
