China Coronavirus

Hospital EDs much quieter the last week or so, just shows that there are loads of people who go to the ED at the drop of a hat and clog it up for emergencies

Been told this myself by people I know working in the HSE. Trollies are often full because so many present themselves for very little reason. Now suddenly they can't stay far enough away from the hospitals.

Most A&E overcrowding due to drunk travellers fighting.

I'm leaving it to the globally recognised and award-winning scientists and medical professionals to decide on the best course of action. Apologies to all social media and barstool experts.

Isn't that a bit sexist? Couldn't the PhD student have been female?

Probably. Then again it might not be representative

"With computer modelling predicting a rapid rise in cases, it was clear the always stretched Irish health system would be overloaded within weeks. Meanwhile, the disease was gaining a firm foothold across continental Europe, now the new epicentre of this disease.

This left policymakers feeling they had only one option: strike hard now in the hope this will delay the onset of cases, delay the spike in admissions and curb the spread of the disease.

In the United Kingdom a different approach is being taken. This seems to involve an acceptance of some community transmission, at least at levels with which the National Health Service can cope. Consequently, the social restrictions being imposed are far less intrusive, so far."

What is NI going to do ?

Still find it baffling how Cheltenham is still on going yet nearly every other sport has been postponed.

You think this is all a big over reaction don't you? Have you bothered to educate yourself even a little on what is coming?

£350 million is your answer.

I dread to think how many it will be by next Friday when we see the repercussions of all those racing tossers coming back from Cheltenham.

The first community transmission cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Northern Ireland, the Public Health Agency (PHA) has said.

Community transmission means a patient had no known contact with another confirmed case or travelled from a country badly affected by the pandemic.

Three of nine new cases were contracted in this way. The total is now 29.

Thats everyone's strategy in fairness but how do they elongate it if they allow people to mingle together to their hearts content in big crowds

That's the case all over. Or at least it should be, given what happened in Italy.

I can't see how they reduce the height of the first curve

Where the fcuk have you been? They've explained this very simply.
This will obviously happen if;
People wash their hands.
Over 70s don't go on cruises.
International school trips cease.
Sick people stay in bed.

Therefore, you get the same number of cases, just over a longer period.
This will be more manageable for the NHS.

QED

Scary that some people are not "getting" it. Very worrying that some people may not be able to follow very simple instructions.

Is that all that's needed, wow why hasnt someone thought of this already. Just a few questions, so what about people who are carrying the virus like children and are showing no symptoms. We just let them run around the schools is it? And in the first 5 days or so when all victims are at their most contagious yet are exhibiting no symptoms, how is spreading stopped then?

Oh and when you are at it could you tell us what countries have reversed the Corona trend by just using this approach.
