Hi all, just the parent of the girl from Scoil Cathriona here. Just a quick one, daughter was tested this morning at home. Got an email at 7am saying doctor will be here at 10. They came at half 10, grey jeep marked doctor with green lights on top.

There was two people, doctor and an official from HSE. Nice chaps, test took 60 seconds and results tomorrow.

Just one strange thing, HSE person asked me was I on boards.ie and said dont believe all the hysteria going around.

Two other parents reported the same. Anyway doctor said keep daughter in until tomorrow, rest of family grand to get back to normal.

I thought self isolation was 2 weeks?

Hope tomorrow brings good news and I guess the HSE are trying now to control the narrative and failing badly.

Good thing is there's been no transmission related infections. We need to cancel all flights to and from Italy immediately. No excuses now.

How would we know when we are only testing people from Italy?

Who is Noone? And if he has died that will be the first confirmed fatality here.

I'm giving up on my mate. He's giving out to me on WhatsApp for saying the lad on RTÉ is just whitewashing. Absolutely eating it up.

In my mates words "It'll be gone in two weeks, only 6 cases"

the 6 bed in the mater !

Tony Holohan said there was an isolation ward in every hospital no?
I think he comes across fine personally, not a huge amount of things he can do (I doubt grounding flights is in his power) limited resources that need to be used carefully, towing party line to a degree
Clearly numbers are bound to shoot up hopefully not to Italian levels.

Holohan won't say it's a family when asked by Ní Bheoláin. FFS, I'd feel better knowing it was a group of 4 rather than separate individuals.

Anyone change their minds on travel bans yet??

Isn't it just your daughter who's supposed to self isolate? And stay in tomorrow means stay in until you get the results?

And tbf, not believing the hysteria going around is good advice.

Also, I hope the test results will be good news.

Here is how Ireland's trajectory looks but we will be celebrating St Patrick's Day on March 17th. Bit of craic

He said it was a group but not necessarily a family

That must be good news to them.

The announcements are like a war film.

Fellow troops surround him, it's ok mitch you'll be okay. We got this.

Or went a kid gets hurt, you turn around comforting them "ahh it only a small cut". Then you turn your head and say wtf.

This lad on RTÉ is gas. Comical Ali. All is well. All contact tracing successful so far. Confident they will contain it.

They have to be confident and follow the processes in place. Otherwise, what, he starts posting official panic and we are doomed messages here? Isnt there enough people doing that so lets just support those who are trying to contain this to imported cases They have my best wishes and support.

Talk about vague news on the radio.

Too late to do anything. The genie is unbottled. There will now be a huge cluster in Limerick/ Clare. Most likely some of those 4 people knew they had it in Italy. But still travelled. Cretinous if that's the case.

re the paddy's day parades...people could just like you know...not go!

The question nobody is asking is how long have these people been home from Italy?....
3 days?
10 days ?
4 weeks?
This is critical yet nobody is asking.....why?

Large crowds gathering together maybe.... Risk of spreading increases

But any sort of a large crowd would pose a risk in that case. A rugby match, football match, GAA match, race meeting, pop concert, theatre play, you name it.

All I'm reading on boards for the last few days is 'Cancel St Patrick's Day, cancel St Patrick's Day' as if that is somehow the only risk to the nation's health. Does that mean we're all safe on March 18th?

They are in a hospital in the west of the country.:rolleyes: The blase indifferent ah sure it will grand approach, from the government and health service is pretty scary tbh.

Really sorry for your predicament. Hope you all get all clear soon. Yeah fair one about not believing the bull****. It's our version of the great firewall. I'd read the report to understand better from the epicentre. Odds very much in your favour. Thanks for sharing and best of luck.

"People with COVID-19 generally develop signs and symptoms, including mild respiratory symptoms and fever, on an average of 5-6 days after infection (mean incubation period 5-6 days, range 1-14 days)."

"Disease in children appears to be relatively rare and mild with approximately 2.4% of the total reported cases reported amongst individuals aged under 19 years. A very small proportion of those aged under 19 years have developed severe (2.5%) or critical disease (0.2%)."
