It would be a dereliction of duty if they weren't planning for it for the last number of weeks. That doesn't mean they can contain an outbreak or stop the spread.

If anyone seriously thinks they were sitting around pretending there was no coronavirus for the last few weeks, they need to take off the tinfoil hat.

Youre being ridiculous.

I don't doubt they were planning but it's very obvious (based on interviews from the professionals) that their capacity to execute their plans will be far from sufficient.

Jack Lambert, a specialist in infectious diseases at The Mater Hospital and UCD has stated that 20% of people who contract Covid-19 will become very sick and will need to be in ICU with up to an expected 4% mortality rate.

According to the experts, we don't have the requisite facilities to properly follow infectious disease protocols in the event of an outbreak.

Its not my opinion.

Take from that what you will.

Surely now Italy should be shutting its airports (or at least we should stop people travelling here from Italy or anywhere that has confirmed cases)?

That would mean most of Europe for starters.

Very true I can never understand why the Irish are so passive (me included), the French now they know how to take a stand and protest and let the government know they wont take it but us we just carry on.

We have one of the best health systems in the world despite obvious weaknesses at certain times, stop moaning.

You don't suddenly become contagious after you get infected - probably more likely caught it in the airport than walking around outside in Italy

Source? Your contagious during the 14 day incubation period. That’s a fact since November/December.

We're about to find out.

The quality of it i dont doubt its ability to cope with numbers is the problem, and over crowding.

Good article on the gig economy / pandemics.

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/02/coronavirus-gig-economy/607204/

Also sucks to be in a workplace (restaurant for example) where wait staff serve while being sick...can't afford the day off because there's no sick pay. Then the whole guilt culture, fear of punishment for calling in sick, other work colleagues picking up "the slack". We have not progressed much in these areas for decades now and the mindset is so ingrained into many of us to work like a slave to try obtain a bigger slice of an ever smaller pie shared out to us plebs.

Huge % of our workforce will continue to go to work during this outbreak sick, some not because they want to, but because they are forced to.

Have you spent any length of time in it without private health insurance ? Because that is so far from many many peoples experience of our health system.

Incubation period is not 14 days in many cases.

To be honest, that would not be good.

I thought of that 20% infected the majority would just have flu like symptoms? Obviously it will be more serious for some e.g. small percentage will get pneunonia, elderly or those with pre existing conditions are more risk obviously.

Am I right in saying Italy had 200 cases and now have over 1000!
This isn't going too well now is it.

You'd have to think it best to shut work places amd schools now to contain this thing.

That's ridiculous. Shut them all?

Really worried about catching this. Started a new job a few weeks ago, I won't have a job if I go out sick for a few weeks.

At that stage the woman from Northern Ireland had already arrived, traveled home and self isolated.

Yeah 14 days was a max. But I don’t know what they are saying it is now. You are contagious during the incubation period.

I'm no hysterical doom merchant but it's been painfully obvious for years that we do not have the capacity to deal with any sort of emergency situation where any more than a handful of people suddenly require medical treatment.

You won't get paid if you self isolate. That's your choice.

Why? Are you in the “at risk” category?
