Irish pubs should close now assholes risking spreading this faster just to get pissed.

We can't even through Good Friday every year without a run on the offies and lads taking train trips all over the country with bags of cans - imagine if the pubs were shut for a month!

Did LLS apologize for the bull**** advice last week?

(How) are they managing with distancing measures ?


Before closing the cinemas altogether in Italy, this system was devised: allowing the booking of every third seat in a row, with empty seats directly in front and behind"

Orrr you could just keep them inside and explain to them that it’s right for them to be out right now. Throw on some Netflix or get them to help around the house, or if they’re older get them on their school work. You know there is a happy medium between sedating them and letting them roam feral throughout the estate?

People should keep their little potential disease carriers under control.

What is the story for barbers and hairdressers?

Sitting in a cinema right now with a load of people in a confined room for two hours is a very bad idea.

If it goes as badly as most seem to think, in 6 months time we'll hear on the news that his body has been found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Its certainly an interesting large scale case study in natural selection

Anyone think closing the schools will turn out to be a wrong move? Lots of potential for child spread virus within the wider family, the possibly wrong assumption that children are being minded in the first place, mothers being torn between work and home. Does a parent retuning to homemaker role get paid for being a child minder and society protector?

I thought the worst thing I could watch tonight was Trumps presser but then I put on the Late Late..

Some fantastic news from South Korea. The South Koreans have been testing their population widely since the outbreak there in early February and are now testing 20,000 citizens a day. The data show a prevalence of the disease of around 7% of the population. This translates into 3.5 million infected citizens as of end of February. The daily death toll flattened out at the beginning of March and now the total number of deaths stands at 71. This is incredibly good news as it means the mortality rate is somewhere of the order 0.002%!!! Nothing like the crazy figures of 1 and 2% that have been bandied around. Looks like the worst we can expect in Ireland is around 100 deaths.

Gloves do not negate the need for good hand hygiene.

Also, when removing the gloves, the following sequence should be followed, to avoid contamination:
*** The outer surface (i.e. the exposed surface of the glove) is dirty
*** The inner surface (i.e. the surface of the glove in contact with your skin) is clean
1. Pull the first glove off via the outside surface of the glove with your other gloved hand
2. Slide your degloved hand (clean), into the inside surface of the glove (clean). Remove the glove via the inside surface

Just heard the Coronavirus remission is a possibility. Hope we won't be going in circles, like a never ending trip around the world.

I think they were well aware of all those risks when they made the decision : 'damned if they do, damned if they don't' etc.

Would you ever piss off pushing that petition crap

I posted it because it is relevant to the case in question and I expressly said I wouldn't post it again in this thread. If anyone would like to tell me what exactly the issue with the petition is, I'd be happy to take their views on board. If all the people who thanked you (including many who have expressed disbelief about the continued freedom of travel) had signed it, it would have triple the number of signatures.

Ordinarily when activist responses are needed, I'd organise mass gatherings, charity concerts and other initiatives to mobilise people but in the case of a pandemic, because of the obvious risks of gatherings, the only way to mobilise people is to do petitions and letter-writing campaigns to indicate public feeling. I'm absolutely dying to hear suggestions for other ideas to push this action, seriously. Or do you not agree, in which case I'd be interested to hear why?

One in Cork but not in Dublin; the spread must be disproportionately high here.

Leo Varadkar on his return must go into isolation and be tested, he has been in close contact with a contact of a confirmed case.

Under no circumstances can he be allowed close contact with any on the Emergency Committee - he must teleconference with them. In the nation context politicians are replaceable, the people directing the HSE and their assembled experts are not.

Mixed reports about Bolsanaro testing positive were being put up and taken down last night by various news sources. Trump maintains that he does not need to be tested because he was not in contact with a confirmed case. Our policy in Ireland is that those individuals who are close contacts of close contacts of confirmed cases don't need take any further precautions.

SK is the most reliable data we have. Fair play to them. Very responsible country.

The concern is kids spreading the virus to grandparents who may have to look after the kids.

However there are arguments both ways.

It is really important that parents are allowed to make alternative arrangements that don't include putting the more vulnerable at risk.
