    People in this thread are very ignorant of the fact that even if they get it and have mild like flu symptoms they can pass it on to others and elderly people who it is very serious for. I wonder would they be so blase if their parents or grandparents got it?

    It's a very very serious virus that could have massive social and economic impact not to mention kill many people here.

    No idea why they don't care

    No matter what side of the stockpile/no need to panic divide people are on, we should all at least agree on the above surely. Looking out for others should be a given.

    Why are you not worrying?

    Its here ...on the island of Ireland already. Confirmed case in Belfast.

    Would you worry if you were in china? Its going to spread exactly like that here now?

    Were you worrying yesterday? Because it was here then too, its likely been here for weeks. Good news is this person is already in a hospital and the NHS will be tracking down everyone they've had contact with. But there will be more cases for sure.

    We are worried and monitoring how things play out definitely will be staying away from crowds for the foreseeable.

    So whats your advice then?

    Stop obsessing on this thread and go and get some exercise, vitamin D supplements and hand sanitizer and use it a lot when out and about.

    Stop trolling, nobody is panicking

    So you think it makes no sense to take reasonable precautions?

    I’m not trolling and I take it serious.

    But nobody should be telling others how to behave mentally.

    Take precautions. That’s it.

    I think he's still self-isolating after contacting his GP until the test is confirmed?





    On a general note, I'm not sure I have much faith in people self-isolating...


    Edit: Seems he's receiving specialist care, whatever that means. They keep updating the website (which is a good thing, of course).

    So that this person would then have to get a few boats. A few trains and a few buses?

    Spare a thought for the legion of boardsie bell-end socialists who are always complaining about one-off houses and the critical need for high-rises and high density sardine-can housing in Dublin.

    Here's today's (non-holiday locaitons) map (already out of date).
    Has anyone ever done glamping in Antartica, or hunted/ate/wore wild wolves/bears up in Northern Siberia/Alaska, and made a camp fire directly from snow, be grand like.
