China Coronavirus

[Sportacus]

13000 tests in the AFL 1 positive result I'd say that's good
Milltown Florida hospital admissions is away down. Cases up hospital admissions away down I would imagine they will be in a good position in 2 months as they will have a big percentage who have got it.
This virus is not as potent as many make it out to be.
McKenna has it and wasn't even sick. Crazy

Are you for real?  It's killed 450,000 people (that we know of).

"Of the 22 confirmed cases we are reporting to you today, nine of these were diagnosed in people under the age of 35. It is important for us all to remember that Covid-19 is a disease that can affect everyone, of any age or background. No one should feel that this is a disease that does not affect them." the Republic's Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said.

But apparently this is a disease for the over 70s

Very real.
The common flu has a death toll of 850000 per year(that we know off)

Where is that stat from?

According to this the who say between 250 and 500k per year deaths from flu

Not good Sid. I don't think the county stuff should even be looked at this year but that may happen yet.

To be fair in other articles they say when levels of the virus are so low, one outbreak like in this meat plant can cause the R rate to fluctuate greatly.

It seems to have an affinity for spreading in meat plants.

Just postulating as to why
- Hygiene controls should already be good in such places.
- Does it persist longer on freshly slaughtered meat? and use it is a vehicle to jump from person to person? You'd think being gloved and masked would stop that.
- Thus, I wonder does it become much more persistent in aerosol form when temperature drops low enough (say, <5 degC). Typically viruses do break down quicker in heat.

*Goes away off to see if there has been any studies*

*comes back*

There has been stuff on Cov-1 (the original SARS) - bit grim - at low temperatures it persists much longer. Hopefully doesn't apply across to CoV-2

This type of caclulation based on one location isn't a great guide to activity generally.
However, it shows that the thing will spread if you aren't careful and it seems that here many people have decided to stop being careful.

Perhaps with the delay they can play  in Casement.

surely you meant 2032?

Great to see no deaths and just 6 cases in the ROI and NI having no cases today.

97 cases this week in the ROI the first time to have cases under 100 since early March.

Deaths this week 14 (21 fewer deaths than last week)

Some of those deaths might have been a fortnight ago. Now that they have brought the nursing homes under control, the more recent cases have been meat plants and people coming from England and Sweden. These probably reflect a younger cohort, so the number of deaths will soon be zero most days.

Was driving home earlier today and on my left I noticed a group of well dressed older middle aged men heading away from the British Legion, which had two cops at the door, the aul punter that's always at the door was sheepishly walking away with a half bottle of wine!

The feckers have been having a few lock-ins it seems, I know of another pub was doing the same recently, I wonder how much of this is going on?
