    Illness benefit is there already and there should be no need to shoot to the head, over the head first then low should do it.

    The shooting bit was a joke forgot about Illness benefit I have never claimed it.

    No idea but I can't wait for the bloody antivaxxers
    Might want to wait for v2.0 batch. The FDA has just said the three-month estimate for coronavirus vaccine to enter human trials may be too aggressive.

    Usually they do paperwork, lab studies, then animal trials before even going near humans. Don't think a vax has ever been made anywhere with a year before. This would likely be the quickest (rushed) and perhaps even, the largest ever vax programme for immeditate global roll out, if it goes pandemic.

    I'm not anti vax in the slightest, but I would be wary of a rushed vaccine.

    Get over it it's bloody rugby match for christ sake.

    Its the nonsense of losing their reason and wanting to do something, whether its stupid or not.
    How many people fly to Ireland from Italy every day ? Several thousand. Probably a couple of thousand from Lombardia and Veneto alone. Overall, maybe 30,000 people between here and the game. But that fine. Sure. Come right in. No problem. But, oh, scusate Signore - coming for the rugby ? Stay away you virus ridden person. Back to Milan with you.

    That is true but it's as much to do with 50,000 people in close proximity shouting and cheering. Lots of droplets flying around.

    Heres a question is the virus less deadly as its passed along ?
    I read in China it has a 2% death rate everyone else its 1% so far ,
    Sar's had a 10% death rate but not as easily spread ,

    No. Sharks have been around for 450 million years and that hasn't stopped White Pointers eating people.

    Well those Italians are a dirty lot.

    There is this Italian plumber and his brother I never seen them once wash their hands or take a shower and they run and jump all over the place.

    It can take from two days to two weeks for symptoms to appear after infection. So, based on that trajectory, there's going to be an awful lot of infected people in Italy in two weeks time.

    Not just Italy but given the rate of cases that have appeared in Italy since the weekend and given it can take up to two weeks to show, you'd wonder how many people passed through Italy within the last two weeks completely unaware of the risks in Italy. The likely hood we have a confirmed case here is very high I'd think.

    I have a question for you guys. I was administered with the Influenza & pneumonia vaccine last October. I have not been to any of the affected countries that have been infected with Coronavirus since the virus started in them. I do have an underlying illness like acid reflux & piles for a few years but otherwise; I'm reasonably healthy. What are the chances of people like myself & others who were vaccinated for flu & pneumonia before the winter season having a risk of Coronavirus in Ireland in future?

    TIA!

    Agreed. It's very probable that, today, there are infected people walking around Ireland without symptoms.

    Is this true? Coz it goes against everything said in the last few days.

    It would depend in individual arrangements, policy details and perhaps goodwill.

    I know someone who was due to go on a trip to China when the SARS outbreak occurred.

    People who dealt directly with the travel company were not compensated when they heeded the department of foreign affairs advice and didn't travel.

    Others in the same group who dealt with the same travel company indirectly via a national organisation were initially refused refunds but with some pressure from the organisation, goodwill and the possible effect on significant future business, relented and refunded people who didn't travel but only those who had gone through the national organisation.

    Individuals even though they were members of the same national organisation and in some cases even members of the same local group, did not get any refund.

    It's very much a case of read the fine print and how much leverage you have.

    You have the same risk as anyone else.

    San-Fran isn't taking any chances, although it has no confirmed cases yet, it has just announced a state of emergency.

    It was actually announced yesterday.

    People need to remember that the virus is here, so most of the efforts will be to slow it's spread not stop it.
    It's 2 week incubation period makes total isolation impossible unfortunately. By the time you "close the borders" it's probably been in days or weeks already. Until the first serious cases present it's not going to be caught.
    Seems it was in china a month before we started seeing much sign of it, not including the cover up theory or anything.
    Assume it's here, act accordingly in whatever manner you personally deem appropriate.

    I agree Cinemaguy.

    This is a very dangerous Global health emergency and should be above politics.

    Using it to take a cheap shot at whatever regime you detest is beneath contempt.

    Yes as said having a vaccine for one virus is of no use to protect against another.
    I don't believe the conditions you have would put you at extra risk.

    You're in the exact same position as the majority of the population.

    And unlike some others here who continually say who ****e and broken our health service is it will not crumble like people seem to think or hope it will. Sorry prof didn't mean to go off on a tangent just needed to say that.


    Yes not just Ireland so over the next two weeks we may see an explosion of people infected with it. I could easily see the st Patrick's day parades being cancelled and Easter mass celebrations being in doubt depending on how this thing goes.

    Is the Ireland vs Italy game the only one officially postponed as of now ? I'd be surprised if it's the only one and I'd say the pro14 will be in a bit of a state.

    Ulster v Benetton was called off.

    Juventus game in Italy being played behind closed doors.

    Correction- Inter Milan Europa League v Ludogorets will be behind closed doors

    Sweden reporting it's second case of coronavirus. Man in 30's, visited Italy recently.

    Switzerland also has probably 2nd case there.

    Is that not the Lyons-Turin match, in France? I heard it was going ahead as normal (ie open to fans on both sides) despite concerns in France.
