Been following the threads and this outbreak from the start. Like others picking bits up over the few weeks, asked my parents to make sure they’d at least a month of their meds etc. Knew of course we’d get a case, likely a lot, but man when it’s in black and white and confirmed it still shook me to know it’s here.
Hopefully hse etc go nuclear now on information drops, hygiene, hand washing, stop large gatherings (hurry the fook up and cancel Paddys day) etc and people take note.
Stay safe boardsies

Yeah a lackadaisical response to it wont be good , as soon as it starts spreading they may aswell go full clip tryna stop/slow it.

Gotta get those factories open.

Of course it will hit the fan again in short order once everyone is free to mingle once again.

That's the rest of the whole country.

Several other provinces were reporting 1,000 cases each only last week.

Everyone can make up their own minds.

Your better off making your own mind Tbh. People seem to just not bother looking up data.

That is why ireland is firmly in the "Ah sure it will be grand phase"

As I keep saying, it might be grand for you but think about all those people you call family and love.

That part seems to get neglected by the naysayers.

Slowing it is essential, look at Italy and icu bed numbers. Hopefully there is some secret hse plan in place with ct facilities in private centers to be used along with the private hospitals, we have to pull together.

Is there any science behind this actually stopping the virus?
Anything outside is not gonna survive long to start with, indoors they disinfect and a few hours later the whole place could be infected again

Seems a pointless propaganda move

The thing about people like you is you seem to think knowing "The Data" will save us, the **** is knowing how many sick people there are in china gonna do for us here? or in general.

Keeping calm and doing sensible things like stopping gathering being extra vigilant with hygiene will go a far sight further than, running around reeling off statistics.

The sad reality of it is there will be people susceptible to it ( ive a few in my family) that will get and it potentially could be fatal, thats just realistic, no amount of data will stop that.

Like where? And the private hospitals will be like 'thanks but no thanks, we got boobs to lift and knees to replace'

What we need is a state facility that can be properly isolated with lots of beds, a university campus, a military barracks, or even a good size hotel on decent grounds.

Will cost 20 billion and take 10-25 years to build.

We'll have budweiseratitus by then.


But something has to be done like as you said.

I totally agree with you on second paragraph, it’s a great idea. But we have some good private hospitals that could be used, it may come to the greater good stage and they have to row in and get on board. I said maybe last week or more on here that all non essential surgeries should have been cancelled so beds would be free, train all staff in infection prevention and get ready. It was going to hit. I am hoping to God some decent plans have been prepped behind the scenes. The hse did well in procuring their ppe equipment so hopefully they are somewhat ready. Current bed issues make me feel maybe not.

Maybe the hotel in Galway where people protested against the direct provision.

I think more than anything, trying to preserve economy, and indecisiveness will do the most damage

We'll see. Coughing might or might not be Coronavirus. Blowing your nose is most likely to be a cold or sinus infection, it isn't a big feature of Coronavirus.

More but not entirely because Beijing has their puppet in charge there and Hong Kong is not a full democracy. Difference is Mrs Lam is actually under pressure with the little actual autonomy they have so their room to bull**** is somewhat less than the mainland. Though not by much.

For a 3 day old site I would tend to go with fake news

ArchXStanton

Have they given a more precise location rather than just the east of the country? Might be a bit more helpful if someone suspects they have the symptoms but choose to ignore it

Not seeing it anywhere else yet, but at 83 and meeting and greeting so many over the last month, he very well could. Would be very hard on his mostly elderly followers here, would scare a lot of them. Then a load of elderly men lock themselves in to pick the new one.

Well then, a place in China remote from Wuhan might not be in a very different situation from Hong Kong.



Note that Singapore as a similar number of cases as Hong Kong.

Not a credible source.
