Exactly my point tbh

Oh Jeez, some sort of mystery man who speaks in riddles. If you mean I should put them on ignore they are multiple, and some I otherwise very much like, so it would be easier if all those people who feel like lambasting Grace would just put her on ignore.

Weird the way the outbreak in Italy is so spread across a load of little villages. Another super spreader, on holiday? Shoutout to all those previous here saying “we have a low population density, be grand in the countryside!”

Could never stand outrage merchants who speak in riddles either they are just looking for attention.

I’m booked to go to Greece in May.

Warmer, might have less contagion risk than Ireland by that point. Just hold your breath while in airports. I'd probably go if you are not in the high risk category

it's normal spreading from different sources as you would expect when a contagion has taken off

Only the small villages are being tested at the moment because there are confirmed cases there. If they did a mass test in Milan the numbers would rise

And on the flight.

I am not worried about my destination so much as the flight and the airports.

Avoiding people when you have a cold/flue and you are contagious would be a good starting point. In fact, it would be the decent thing to do regardless of covid.

I mentioned weeks ago that the HSE should have been running ad campaigns before the start of the flu seasons. Show people how to wash their hands correctly, sneezing or coughing into a tissue, etc.

A decent ad campaign is is better than the trolley crisis every year. Not saying it will eradicate the trolley issue but it wouldn’t make it worse.

Planes have hospital grade air filtration so the main risk is sitting close to an infected person. I think airport toilets and surfaces are the big worry. My kids have gotten norovirus a couple of times when traveling. Not fun. F'n Heathrow!

The guy ran a local marathon apparently before he got sick. Perfect for spreading the virus to as many people and places as possible.

I meant if you don't have any cold/flu, but don't want to shake hands, to not being impolite mentioning having the cold/flu as an excuse...:)

Well if there is any truth in taking liquorice then I’ll just start on the sambuca once I’ve parked the car up

I think you are perfectly right to do so, we can worry about ethiquette another time

Personally i wouldn't be getting on any airplanes from this point onward until more is known.Not that worried about myself health wide im A1 but wouldn't want to spread it to my elderly parents.

Anybody going on holiday in the next few weeks anywhere is there a good chance of travel being canceled?

Opinions?

I am worried about a trip to Norway in July, mind you if at that stage it needs to be cancelled I'll have a lot more to worry about - like not f*cking dying!!!

That would be my worry too. I am a carer for my dad who has a tracheotomy.

I have annual travel insurance so will wait and see.

Yeah our place doesn't and it hasn't even been discussed. Luckily i don't do travel for work only throughout Ireland but others are at the airports every other day.

I must admit. The 38 year dying in Italy is a bit concerning. Was healthy. Current worry level would be 4\10.

I like the eastern greeting of palms pressed together, fingers pointing up and the little bow of the head. It’s very polite but avoids physical contact.

134 cases in Italy and 2 dead already and we are only at the early stages. Anyone still saying this is just a flu?

Only the dopes because it's not a strain of flu.

I thought that Italy had 2 Deaths- both in 70's or 80's ?

I had also read somewhere that the 38 year old man had stabilized.

Not according to their son on the BBC last night. They are in hospital but not 'in a bad way'.

Yeah, he's not overly concerned now. Here's a link to his twitter feed, and he posts vlog updates about his parents, that suggest he's not worried at present.
