I’ve knowledge in those areas and I’m finding your posts alarmist.

Ok but you can’t disregard the UK government figures. Sure this is their “reasonable worst case scenario” and so it is likely to not be quite that bad but it is very likely that it will be a lot worse than a lot of people seem to think.

Would you ever cop yourself on?

No work is that essential that you should be risking the health of everyone around you. You should never go to work when you're that sick, never mind in the midst of a global health crisis.

Don't be so selfish. Stay at home. Nobody cares about your 'essential work'.

And this is why we haven't a hope, ignorant, selfish, stupid c*nts like that guy not actually considering the implications of their actions. So short sighted

Will give that a listen is it called anything in particular? Or just available under his name?

It's called "Got your face mask yet?", no joke. It's on Spotify, that's what I use.

Honestly, people need to listen to the part when Prof. O'Neill speaks, it puts the some of the posts in here to absolute shame.

Panic for some, apathy for others.

Cop yourself on, health comes first and you risk infecting us and our families also.

Will ring the manager in the morning and see what he thinks. The fact there is community dissemination has changed my outlook. HSE should have been telling us that there was a risk of it happening not ruling it out as they have been doing.

Several more deaths in the Seattle area, 11 there now, 12 in the US overall.

About 7000 people die every day in the US you gobsh1te

Well if you are who you claim to be you really should know much better than posting worse case mortality rates on an Internet forum with obviously hysterical posters.
Usually medical professionals don’t in fact try to increase panic among the general population

If he or she has an educated opinion to give and can make an educated guess then he or she should go right ahead.

Heard the bit about him in Shannondoc from 2 different folks(1 of whom is a nurse)

Hadn’t heard the Shannondoc bit, but the family are known. That’s why the HSE changed their rules today, for staff coming back fro affected areas. That these rules on self-isolation weren’t already in place, beggars belief.

San Marino has 21 cases and a population of 4000 people. Pretty high infection rate there.

So who was that I just saw on the news talking the Dail today? So much for self-isolation.

Well to be fair the last thing I saw of ML was in her hallway on twitter or something saying she is staying home with her kids whose school had closed for 14 days.

But as you say she popped up in the Dail today. But maybe it's just the kids that are in isolation.

Back to organising the rallies. Before the interest dies down with Corona V.

Explain this 14 day isolation thing. After 14 days, ya can go back to work or whatever. Ya can catch it then no? What's the idea of the 14 days?

Can take 14 days for symptoms to show up. Then you'll need more time off because you're still sick. Heard it takes about a month to clear up.

Can you catch coronavirus in a swimming pool?

You probably can't catch it if you actively went out of your way to try and catch it.

Thank god we had a short window of time to put some sensible measures in place and we can sleep soundly knowing our health agency hasn't been sitting on its arse the last 2 weeks picking its nose.


Oh wait.

If you see faeces in the pool more than likely i'd say but it's one for the experts

And people had the cheek to accuse the early cautious posters of scare mongering! Every man in the bar is now in this thread and we're seeing some real scaremongering.

Oh shut up. The kind of posts that have been targeted for scare mongering have been just that. Scaremongering worst case scenarios with 0 evidence to back it up or some twitter conspiracy nonsense.

People suggesting 70-100% infection rates and death rates as high as 20% is scaremongering.

People posting facts and giving sound advice have not been targeted in any way.

Stop with your us vs them mentality. It's not about 1upmanship.

WHO says the expect somewhere between 40 to 70% of the worlds population to be infected over the next 12 months or so.

The UK’s “reasonable worst case scenario” is 500,000 dead. The UK government released this information on Tuesday.

If you translate that number to Ireland it ends up as a little under 50,000. Now it shouldn’t be that high but people expecting a just dozens of deaths are deluding themselves.

Those numbers are bull**** and I'll stand by that. Worst case scenario as in nobody does anything about it and actively tries to spread it maybe which is not going to happen. There is 0 evidence to back up that kind of spread from any region.

Most people even with slight precautions such as no hand to face contact and regular hand sanitation will not get it.

Saying **** like it's going to infect 2/3rd of the worlds population very soon is nothing short of total horse****. Disingenuous scaremongering crap that only makes the situation worse.

You're also using an inaccurate death rate with an inaccurate infection rate to make it sound way worse than it will be. It's bad enough as it is without this kind of nonsense.

Just looking at the stats for Italy...41 deaths in 24 hours...that is a pretty scary figure imo

And yet we still have total braindead morons saying this is just a flu and people are scaremongering.

Just back from the 3rd and final stockpile (until mid-summer). The chap at the checkout (of large supermarket) said they were starting to have supply issues.
They had no tissue boxes anywhere in the store, and reduced amounts of dry goods 50% of normal pasta/rice etc.

Another store had (unwisely) a decent enough sale on bogrolls, while parking up outside, a dozen different people emerged with a couple of packets each and went off in different directions.

Maybe there's a bad curry going around...

She did not say she would be self isolation.
Her kids had to stay at home from school so she would be making changes to her schedule as someone would have to be at home to care for them.
