    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.

    Cool story

    BBC news tonight said that experience to date shows that 81% of those with the virus get only a very mild form that doesn't require any medical treatment. Which is a comfort.

    That said my sister in law who is a senior nurse in a large Dublin hospital phoned to insist we go out tomorrow and buy suitable face masks. Which is a bit disconcerting.

    Are you serious?

    In Wuhan there were cases first talked about in early December and we did not see what we see in terms of mass spreading until the middle of January.

    Maybe you should try harder.

    Anyone confirm this on flight radar!

    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.

    It’s not sounding good. The reported cases in Italy jumped to roughly 500.

    Italians and Spanish often backpack around Europe and takes just one affected person to travel to the airport and travel outside of the country to spread the virus to others. This is the worst-case scenario for the Italy outbreak.

    The pathogen can get inside people and people who get the virus will not notice there is anything wrong with them for days. I think the real fear is people don’t want to get sick and take the chance they may die, even though the chances are still low if you never had medical problems in the past and are healthy. 

    Still smokers, cancer sufferers, and people with diabetes and people with chest/lung problems, the old and infants are high-risk subjects. The virus from what the doctors are saying attacks the chest and lungs inside your body.

    Trump gutted the funding and fired without replacing the management for the people who would deal with an epidemic... so he could build a wall... should Ireland build a wall ???

    My mother survived on a state pension, my aunt did, another aunt does, and so does my uncle. What is it about a state pension that would confine one to using cash? Just can’t figure this one out. Genuinely can’t.

    They might bank with AIB...

    So we are on the verge of a global pandemic and we are without a functioning government because our politicians - FF, FG, SF, and SD - are behaving like a group of prattling children.

    We are doing nothing to prevent this. Why aren't all public buildings and institutions immediately introducing hand sanitization and publishing instructions.

    We also need a televised addressed from the Taoiseach - who is a doctor - to explain the situation and how we can prevent the spread

    This happens in normal countries, but not in Ireland where the sole purpose is to ensure the money machine doesn't stop running.
