China has zero credibility at this stage.



China had a massive famine in the early 1960’s that barely made a headline in the west at the time.

And a massive earthquake in the 70’s that they tried to hide as well.

Their Soviet brothers in the Kremlin were going to say nothing about Chernobyl either until the Swedes picked up the radiation cloud over them.

You can’t trust a word that comes out of communist regimes. They are not normal countries.

Russians have a strong immune system, there are no cases over there

They also lied through their teeth about SARS figures and were caught out doing so. Why would Covid-19 be any different, the figures coming from China are fictional at best, the real figures I’d imagine are terrifying.

My uncle has it, got it visiting a friend in icu who they hadn't realised had it at the time. He was at a birthday party that night as well so it could well have spread further. Feels very real now,. anyone who met him is self isolating and they went out to the house to test his wife.

He can’t have spread it that same day - there’s an incubation period, virus needs time to replicate.

Absolutelly correct. You forgot to mention quite recent attempt to coverup sars outbreak 2002-2004.
No numbers coming from North Korea are they miraculously immune?

Which Country does have credibility reporting correct numbers?

I don’t know countries with a free press or where people have unrestricted online access.

Neither of which apply to China.

Day 1 at home with the Kids. Both still asleep.
Husband gone to work but drove instead of his normal public transport. He will work from home from now on.
We are well stocked here.

I read that we have 9 Clusters now. Where are they ? Clare, South Galway, Cork ?

Was the 2nd Death in Cork ?

How is the situation in Italy?

Are there any positives?

Commute was great into work today! On the clusters, they should let the public know. It might focus minds and make some people not taking self isolation/hygiene seriously.

On a related note, gob****e this morning outside work doing a big hock and spit on a fence. I tried to give him a dirty look but my expression was more of bewilderment as I glared at him.

Ellie I'm also pregnant and have a tight chest and breathless at times . I've been pregnant before and felt like this but much later in pregnancy, I'm not even the 20 weeks yet. Had app with my doc this week and she checked all, did oxygen level test and all is perfect. Said it is just to do with the pregnancy. Hope it's the same with you.

My wife was very breathless too from quite an early phase in pregnancy, before she started to show significantly. I remember because she thought people couldn’t tell she was pregnant and would think she was just unfit. Hope all is ok anyway Ellie but please take a cautious approach and call your doctor/maternity if you are concerned.

1% death rate is pretty high, in my opinion. People are kind of talking as if that is acceptable. Sure it means 99 out of 100 are okay, well except for the 8 or 9 of those 100 maybe left with interstitial lung damage. But if half of everyone catches it, it means a lot of damaged people and a fair amount of dead people.

It's 1% of people tested positive that die, there will be many more who have it but who never really get it bad and are not tested and are not counted in the numbers
So the death rate will be well below 1%

NI not taking same measures as ROI. I wonder if they'll do anything Re border? As an island, its pretty moronic.

Sure Foster was moaning about Leo not consulting her first. Last time I checked we don't answer to the DUP.

But seriously, I might go and visit but do as is sugested and keep my distance sit out in the garden with her, if its not pissing down and that would affect her breathing...

Another death in Spain. Brings to 87 the death total.

Going to be a bad day across the continent.

Is here a strong chance the measures will be extended past March29?

Can you tell the supply chain what gaping hole you've spotted? They might be able to do something about it now or are you just going round shouting fire to cause panic?

Ah here. Watch out for that log on your shoulder. It's nothing to do with answering to anyone. Would make sense to cooperate as the virus won't care about a non existent border.

Probably around the same as the regular flu so.

Is here any different? Successive governments here basically want to ignore what happened with the Catholic church, the launderies, mother and baby homes etc.

Yes, the UK health authorities have said they believe they are 10 - 12 weeks away from the peak, we would probably be on a similar timescale but have taken action earlier so maybe a couple of weeks shorter for here.

Schools closed in Vietnam till the end of the month at least. I haven't taught since January.

I'd imagine it will go on for months. Was talk of the peak being in 10-12 weeks in the UK. Don't have a source to hand on that so look it up.

The other thing I would say is that older people are not thick!

Self or imposed isolation of the elderly parents should not be the sole decision of their children!

Talk to elderly parents about the risks and make mutual/joint decisions about arrangements for visiting.

UK chief medical advisor on sky news this morning admitting that the modelling that they are currently following is to allow 60% of the population to contract the virus.

Certainly wouldn't consider it acceptable. The reality is it will hit hard and lots of people will be in critical condition. I was reading of 6% mortality rates in Italy which is where I was coming from and terrified by it. The 1% will certainly be higher where demographics and access to ICU are factored in.

Social distancing is a very effective method in stopping the spread of COVID19.

STAY THE FCUK AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AND KEEP YOUR HYGIENE STANDARDS HIGH!

Keeping distance did not help Finland. This is how their bus stops look like without the coronavirus.

I think it is highly likely and it is highly likely there will be additional measures.

Apologies if it has already been answered but why does this virus seem to have little to no effect on small children?

Mind you That’s the only thing keeping me sane at the moment, knowing that while we have to navigate this pox fest my children will be safe.
