    I can't figure out how this hasn't totally thrashed India or Indonesia? It seems that tropical countries are escaping the brunt due to their warm climates and there seems to be a definite correlation between warmer temperatures and this viruses inability to spread as well as colder countries further North. The Philippines for example had 3 cases and one death and it never spread due to the heat in the country.

    You have to take into account that some countries are simply not doing enough testing, whether that's down to poor health infrastructure or just incompetence. South Korea are reporting a lot more cases than say Japan, but South Korea are doing way more testing

    Way-hay bitches! I am back after my self imposed week long ban. How are ye all doing!?! How are the stress levels?

    My update:

    Total cases in Republic of Ireland: 0
    Total deaths in ROI to date: 0
    Total people stockpiling: 57,820 (up a lot)
    Total people with immunodeficiency from eating too much canned food and noodles: 57 (up 57)
    Trending words and phrases: LOCKDOWN, Pandemic, It's not the bloody flu!, Commie Chinese bastards, zombie, close the borders, United Ireland

    I don't know what ye have been doing all week but I have been stockpiling like a mad man. I have enough food to last until 2022.
    I also joined a hunting club and bought a double barrel shotgun. I am trying to buy a crossbow on the internet.

    It's very worrying. Not an overreaction.

    Any talk of tracking people that had contact with someone in an airport is bollox. Flights from different places arrive into the same terminal. The passengers then share toilets, passport control queues and counters, hang around baggage claim in close proximity and then possibly restaurants and public transport.

    Quite remarkably Japan has only tested around 1000 people. Considering the rate of positives and the size of the country it's easily the lowest rate of testing in the world

    How many visitors to Dublin specifically for paddy’s? Gotta be around 100,000 right?

    They have to cancel it or we could easily become the next hotspot

    We can cancel it all we want. People may still come if flights/boats/trsins/hotels ect all booked.

    As public health officials and GPs keep saying. 1 or 2 cases whatever the number is wont change the way they go about everything. That only changes in the event off mass infection such as the cluster in Italy.

    Stock piling is beyond ridiculous as is creating unnecessary fear

    I'd say in 24hrs.

    There was 200 people on that flight from Italy. They've potentially been infected and brought it elsewhere.

    I suspect that the Irish Government and HSE knew this was coming down the tracks the last couple of days

    Hold on...
    At a media briefing, Northern Ireland’s Public Health Agency (PHA) confirmed testing of a patient had resulted in a presumptive positive test for coronavirus.

    So what do you think will happen if you ring your doctor and tell him you have symptoms and you were recently in a area that was affected? Use your head ffs.

    I'm using it, hence picking apart your nonsense posts, full of inaccuracy and delusion.

    The Northern Ireland one,

    Is it a protestant virus or a Catholic virus?

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    Is this speculation on the virus or a party political broadcast for Sinn Fein?

    Does the coronavirus recognise jurisdictions?
