    Feckin HSE ****....no instruction to call helpline, saying that risk is "low", total complacency. "We will try to contact who is infected" - laughable. List of countries outdated, only mentions China.



    Not a big fan, but compare with NHS! I'm sure they will put Italy on that list in few days. While HSE still have only China there.

    The substance of the advice between the nhs and HSE is broadly the same (other than the detail in affected countries which is clearly more complete on nhs)I’m sure that when we have a case here, we will move to at least low-moderate

    I don't think anybody will go hungry but that's not the point, shopping in this situation is stressful

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    looks like it hasn't plateaued to me from that.


    If you click on show graph you can see the trend, it hasn't plateaued yet. The daily drop is getting smaller and smaller, it's plateauing around that figure, possibly drop another 1-2% who knows
    That's the number I check everyday

    Hahaha just seen on the PROC Covid-19 thread that Ryanair's stock has went down 10%, I wonder if that's flight cancellations to a certain country.


    Why is that funny?

    Last time it was a "suggestion"/request

    Now it's an instruction

    Stop all the tit for tat stuff on the stats. None of us are in full possession of the facts and none of us can draw any "definitive" conclusions. Bottom line. It's serious. Not serious in Ireland at this stage, but may become so. Anyone caught up in this is not going to take much solace from any stats however they are complied

    Any questions PM me - do not respond to this warning in-thread

    You are unwilling to entertain your precious stats could be completely skewed due to god knows how many unreported cases or deaths there are out there and insist on using the ridiculous term "accurate" when nothing can be called that yet

    If it does reach Ireland the shops will be empty, I remember trying to do a bit of shopping around a time we got a recent storm warning and the whole bread section in tesco was empty, it was crazy. Going to get in a few extra bits of food this week before others take everything again ��
