Nothing says āweāve got this under control and are not absolutely shitting itā more than barring your top disease expert from speaking publicly.
The HIV superspreader of a vice-president has got this, yeah!

Probably been posted already, but worth repeating.
The largest study thatās been done so far, looking at 72,314 patient records on China. Similar to flu data, those at risk of serious illness or death are the elderly and those with existing health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. 80% of those infected only experience mild cold like symptoms, less than 5% reach critical status and half of those die. The calculated mortality rate was 2.3%.
An interesting data point is the disease is more dangerous for men than women, with a mortality rate of 2.8% for men and 1.7% for women. Thereās no firm conclusions on that, the working theories are that women have stronger immune systems than men, and a high percentage of Chinese men smoke while Chinese women donāt.

SEXIST AGEIST POST FUCKOFF
DONāT FORGET HOMOPHOBIC.
If 80% only got mild symptoms then the numbers who got it must surely be far higher.

Agreed. Most people with mild to moderate symptoms would never seek medical help, and when you see how strictly they are dealing with it there must be serious incentive not to seek help unless you are in a bad way.
FUCK
Lads shit just got real. I was supposed to go home to Monaghan this weekend but the aul doll just texted me to say that my da has been told to self-isolate. He went to the doctor today and apparently āmay have been in contact with someone suspected of having coronavirusā. This will be confirmed officially to him in the next few days but he should preemptively self-isolate for the weekend. So now I cant go out drinking with my Monaghan mates this weekend.
I bet the whole country is fucking riddled with it and the northerners are the only ones testing properly

Raw data from that study.
The other thing that jumps out is the 0% death rate in children under 10 so far.

Some great statistics there. Farmers having a higher fatality rate than nurses will come as a blow to many on here.
