    You'd swear it was the end of the world by reaction here. Its been in Uk for weeks with hardly any impacts. Still flying everywhere, schools open, public transport running and life going on as normal

    Get on with you lives. Take necessary precsuction. Dont worry

    I’m a full 6 days back from Cambodia I’m in a jocker and have like a grip on my throat as well as all the flu symptoms.

    Called the HSE line and they’ll call me back in 24 hours stay in bed.


    Great work lads.


    Seems to be ‘if we don’t test people here, we won’t have any cases. Huzzah!’

    France:

    "Health ministry director, Jerome Salomon, said out of the 38 cases, two people had died, 12 were cured and 24 were hospitalised, two of those being in a “serious condition”."

    Those figures for serious cases and deaths seem quite high.

    All positive cases need to be verified by a second test.

    The Northern Ireland one,

    Is it a protestant virus or a Catholic virus?

    Whilst I dont agree with panic, its not the same as when the UK got cases a few weeks ago. This is now rampant across Europe and will likely spread through Ireland rapidly over the next few weeks.

    All grand - it's under control, go back to normal duties :rolleyes:

    This is what we'll keep hearing from the same ostriches over and over. "Ah sure it's only 5 or 20, then it'll be "ah sure it's only 100" and so on and so on.

    Depends on age and health issues. If they were all young and in good health its very high but I doubt they were.

    I'd imagine the reason for the high rate of hospitalizations, is that the bloke this can be traced back to spent 6 days in hospital before being diagnosed. So was probably infecting sick people already.

    It’s the same.
    It’s the exact same virus.

    It’ll cause disruption but it won’t shut the country down if we keep the heads

    Will the presenters on the 9 news on RTE be wearing plastic bags like the Romanian presenters did last night?
