    Because Twitter is so reliable

    The amount of people in this thread scoffing at the media while taking stuff off twitter and youtube at face value is staggering.

    Listen, we all know it’s going to be confirm in Ireland. There’s no doubt about it. The sooner the better I say. People will get over the initial shock and move on with their lives like the rest of the world.

    Is Italy going full Wuhan?

    If every other country were doing mass testing as they are I suspect it would be the same story everywhere

    It seems to be growing even faster than Wuhan. Almost 500 cases now in just a few days, Italy has 2 confirmed cases not even 5 days ago.

    Sorry.



    Can this poster share the link?:o

    There’s a text message above. A short vid of someone suited up walking in the door of the hospital. Then two pictures taken of 2 or 3 people suited walking one person in with a face mask on.

    Do we know if the teachers are self isolating at home for at least 14 days ?

    What about the kids parents, relations, neighbours and friends, could they not be infected too.

    My kids school just returned from Folgaria Italy. The teachers and pupils all in school, and told only to self isolate if feeling unwell. Fat lot of good that will do. They should at least be made wear masks in case.

    We'll! In fairness Jim if it wasn't for social media we wouldn't realise how bad it was in China until our orders on EBay didn't start arriving.

    I don't personally believe that, but assuming it's true for the sake of simplicity it still doesn't follow that we should trust everything coming from there.

    I wonder is there any statistical mathematicians that could work out how many people the average person interacts with in the two weeks before symptoms show?
    Then multiply those interactions and so on.

    Fair enough, you didnt. It just seems a lot of people are far more willing to trust one over the other and it seems strange to me.

    Talking to a friend of mine who works in Dublin Airport today. He told me that there is little or nothing being done as a precaution against the virus. A plane landed direct from China yesterday, the passengers got off and walked around the airport, collected their bags and went onto their connecting flight to Heathrow. Apparently their bags had Heathrow on their tags. My friend asked why Dublin was not on their tags to which he was told that the flight was supposed to go direct to Heathrow but was not allowed so they diverted to Dublin and they are travelling from her to London. So the UK bans a direct flight from china but we have no problem letting it land here and its passengers walk around the airport.

    Yes. It just got seriously ****ed up this afternoon. I am ****ing furious that the game is cancelled. Political. Correctness. Gone. Mad. Taking high profile action, and hitting innocent rugby supporters, just to be seen to be doing something. We are still going to have 5000 Italian fans in Dublin, cramming into the pubs and restaurants, shops, and Guiness Storehouse. So thats all fine and dandy. But letting them into the open air stadium of Lansdowne Road is a health risk too far.
    Depressed is not the work. ****ing. ****ing Furious !

    Totes bro. Me and the goys are devo. Oisin and Senan are totally talking about giving up completely on the rugger. I reckon it’s just cause they’re totes apoplectic at the mo. Cormac's dad flies with the highest level legal eagles and he’s poring over the statute books to see if he can force the game to go ahead, so keep the faith bro, we’ll be sending heino’s and having some of the finest horseplay the Aviva has ever seen before you know it.
