Mrs DC has been coughing for the best part of a week.
We didn't think it was Covid-19 as she was displaying none of the other symptoms but she spoke with a doctor yesterday to make sure and it was a chest infection. The point is that even if you don't have Covid-19 you could be really worried if you display similar symptoms which any other year you could brush off.
It will get worse before it gets better but I'm wondering if these deaths now are related to things like Cheltenham going ahead, the Wales v Scotland rugby match being cancelled last minute (and subsequently thousands of people crammed into bars as they were already there), pop concerts still going on, people going to the coast and mountains etc because it was sunny and so on.
Hopefully in another two weeks we'll see the 'curve' going the opposite way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I imagine we will. The curve appears to be flattening in terms of number of cases, so you would expect the same to happen with number of deaths a couple of weeks later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the part I don’t understand. We were told the incubation period was two weeks, on Monday it will be two weeks since lockdown, so surely the next couple of days should see the high numbers and (in theory) it should start to fall from Monday. While obviously it will still spread as certain sectors are still working and a minority of the public aren’t following the guidelines, but in the main should we not see a reducing from Monday or so....yet we keep being told two weeks, it’s seems like every week we are still two weeks away. I know I am being very simplistic and there’s probably a reason for it, but I just don’t get it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yes but after the lockdown, ppl who have caught the virus and are asymptomatic (as many are) would have passed the virus to the ppl they live with
hence the time lag
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then there's also the fact that viable traces of the virus could still be found in the cabin rooms of the Diamond Princess upto 17 days later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And the fact that the first few days of ‘lockdown’ were an absolute joke.
Tube trains were still absolutely jammed with commuters a fortnight ago today.

Yup, and still this week, viewing footage of tube at North Acton Ealing changing platforms.
Fewer trains means folk cram in.
Tbab
It’ll be an absolute miracle if by the end of April there are still people in London who haven’t had it.

So, all things considered, we're pretty lucky where we are. Wouldn't surprise me to see a spike though following the influx of tourists we got on the mountains and the coasts in and around Snowdonia a fortnight ago.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was shocking.
Clowns here went to north coast beaches in Antrim and over to Donegal, and no doubt spread it
We should have stopped flights from China, Italy and Spain into UK and Ireland weeks ago.
Govt was too slow to act, in UK and Ireland, imo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can only think it's easier to travel into Wales than NI. The worst hit part of Wales is, quite ironic considering the name, is the Aneurin Bevan health board which is to the south east of the country and where you'll find the Severn Bridge. Therefore, a very busy channel where commuters travel through all day and stop for services etc.
Also, the Wales v Scotland rugby match wasn't cancelled until the time that everyone had already traveled down to the game so they all crammed into the pubs instead. Also had a couple of Stereophonics gigs in Cardiff that weekend too.
I really don't understand why some people were going to the coast and the mountains that weekend though. They knew not to but it was like a bloody bank holiday here that weekend. I usually take the dog to the beach (a mile or so away) but turned back when I saw loads of cars parked and people with their ice creams clustered together. The forest was a much safer option!
Keep safe in NI and hopefully it'll get back to normal sooner rather than later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheers man.
Same with rugby here too as Ireland cancelled game against Italy, but 5k Italians came and partied Dublin a few weeks back ffs.
Am a Sterephonics fan, but why perform then too...Same with Cheltenham and Rangers and Liverpool playing in CL that week, with German and Spanish fans over.
Not just govt messed up here...but they are in charge.
That goes for all parts of the UK and Ireland.
Stay safe in Wales and we can talk football again soon?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The response wasn't great at the start but hopefully the Gov and the people have now realised the extent of this.
Stay safe and it'll be a wonderful moment when we can all talk football again!

Same can be said for every nation. Without a total lockdown in/out of China this was always going global. Same with swine flu out of USA in 2009.
It hasn't accelerated massively. Its actually plateauing finally. Do the maths.

NHS staff were briefed yesterday at my wife's hospital and told peak probably wont be until May now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
See that to me makes no sense. As people have said above, we should see a levelling off within weeks of the lockdown unless this virus lingers in the body much longer than what they are saying.

As a major critic of our bunch of chancers it has to be said their reaction has been quite good overall.
Next week figures should be interesting with the peak forecast for next week end.
How is life in the sunny south west?

Ya I agree with you.
Not a fan either but they’ve stepped up and acted quickly.
Not in the South west anymore, moved to the capital about 2 years ago.

Where in Dublin are you now?

Rathmines. How about you?

Mrs DC has been coughing for the best part of a week.
We didn't think it was Covid-19 as she was displaying none of the other symptoms but she spoke with a doctor yesterday to make sure and it was a chest infection. The point is that even if you don't have Covid-19 you could be really worried if you display similar symptoms which any other year you could brush off.
It will get worse before it gets better but I'm wondering if these deaths now are related to things like Cheltenham going ahead, the Wales v Scotland rugby match being cancelled last minute (and subsequently thousands of people crammed into bars as they were already there), pop concerts still going on, people going to the coast and mountains etc because it was sunny and so on.
Hopefully in another two weeks we'll see the 'curve' going the opposite way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I imagine we will. The curve appears to be flattening in terms of number of cases, so you would expect the same to happen with number of deaths a couple of weeks later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the part I don’t understand. We were told the incubation period was two weeks, on Monday it will be two weeks since lockdown, so surely the next couple of days should see the high numbers and (in theory) it should start to fall from Monday. While obviously it will still spread as certain sectors are still working and a minority of the public aren’t following the guidelines, but in the main should we not see a reducing from Monday or so....yet we keep being told two weeks, it’s seems like every week we are still two weeks away. I know I am being very simplistic and there’s probably a reason for it, but I just don’t get it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yes but after the lockdown, ppl who have caught the virus and are asymptomatic (as many are) would have passed the virus to the ppl they live with
hence the time lag
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then there's also the fact that viable traces of the virus could still be found in the cabin rooms of the Diamond Princess upto 17 days later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And the fact that the first few days of ‘lockdown’ were an absolute joke.
Tube trains were still absolutely jammed with commuters a fortnight ago today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yup, and still this week, viewing footage of tube at North Acton Ealing changing platforms.
Fewer trains means folk cram in.

It’ll be an absolute miracle if by the end of April there are still people in London who haven’t had it.

So, all things considered, we're pretty lucky where we are. Wouldn't surprise me to see a spike though following the influx of tourists we got on the mountains and the coasts in and around Snowdonia a fortnight ago.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was shocking.
Clowns here went to north coast beaches in Antrim and over to Donegal, and no doubt spread it
We should have stopped flights from China, Italy and Spain into UK and Ireland weeks ago.
Govt was too slow to act, in UK and Ireland, imo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can only think it's easier to travel into Wales than NI. The worst hit part of Wales is, quite ironic considering the name, is the Aneurin Bevan health board which is to the south east of the country and where you'll find the Severn Bridge. Therefore, a very busy channel where commuters travel through all day and stop for services etc.
Also, the Wales v Scotland rugby match wasn't cancelled until the time that everyone had already traveled down to the game so they all crammed into the pubs instead. Also had a couple of Stereophonics gigs in Cardiff that weekend too.
I really don't understand why some people were going to the coast and the mountains that weekend though. They knew not to but it was like a bloody bank holiday here that weekend. I usually take the dog to the beach (a mile or so away) but turned back when I saw loads of cars parked and people with their ice creams clustered together. The forest was a much safer option!
Keep safe in NI and hopefully it'll get back to normal sooner rather than later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheers man.
Same with rugby here too as Ireland cancelled game against Italy, but 5k Italians came and partied Dublin a few weeks back ffs.
Am a Sterephonics fan, but why perform then too...Same with Cheltenham and Rangers and Liverpool playing in CL that week, with German and Spanish fans over.
Not just govt messed up here...but they are in charge.
That goes for all parts of the UK and Ireland.
Stay safe in Wales and we can talk football again soon?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The response wasn't great at the start but hopefully the Gov and the people have now realised the extent of this.
Stay safe and it'll be a wonderful moment when we can all talk football again!

This has been on my mind as well. Thats the only thing that still puzzles me. Italy still has 5000 cases per day, and they locked down on 19 March.

Same can be said for every nation. Without a total lockdown in/out of China this was always going global. Same with swine flu out of USA in 2009.

NHS staff were briefed yesterday at my wife's hospital and told peak probably wont be until May now.

See that to me makes no sense. As people have said above, we should see a levelling off within weeks of the lockdown unless this virus lingers in the body much longer than what they are saying.
