    650,000 worldwide die annually from influenza. Until people here start dropping in their 100's I'm going to continue to look upon it as media and social media driven hysteria.

    Ah a rare common sense post on this abomination of a thread. I hope none of the doomsday posters have managed to breed

    Video circulating of medial staff in face masks from Galway hospital, someone sick just back from Italy they won't take out of the ambulance.

    Being informed and ready doesn't require you to panic.

    Im sorry for my part if i made you feel that way. :o

    Be aware not scared. Be positive. Take positive action.

    Drink water ...wash your hands three times a day.

    DO ..don't worry.:o

    I would like to think (hope?) that the average person would wash their hands a lot more than 3 times a day even before coronavirus existed...

    Word from Dublin, through a Garda, a media blackout on potential cases in Clayton hotel. And further cases in Mater, Vincents and Beaumont. Third hand information, take what you will.

    All stemming from bull**** on WhatsApp.

    This is a new illness with a different and uncertain dynamic. That's why such extreme precautions are being taken now, which in my opinion is wise.


    What extreme precautions are being taken in Ireland? After weeks of experts telling us that there might be a case in Ireland and nothing to see here.

    Look at the general stats of how many die as a percentage of getting the regular flu versus the possible one for coronavirus.
    I think it makes sense to be a little worried and take extra precautions like handwashing etc.

    The presence of a here to unknown virus should have no bearing on hand hygiene, as in it should be common practice anyway. Worrying achieves what?

    What type of gob****es do we have running this country?

    First confirmed case in Ireland of someone who travelled on a plane which are notorious for spreading infection + idiots in health service tell us sure nothing changes its grand. We will only contact anyone on plane who was sitting within two rows.What an absolute load of crap.

    Compare this to everywhere else in world that tries to isolate/ lock down when a case is confirmed. At this rate we will go from one of countries with lowest rates to highest rates in a flash as absolutely no effect to prevent spread of infection.

    A joke of a health services.

    They’ve done the right thing.
    They’re contacting people who are in with the known contact infection zone.

    The patient has been quarantined. That is lock down.

    They don’t need to do anything else.

    :D That was Dr Holohan on the news and it was within two rows on the plane, not train.

    He wouldn't even admit she was on the train, that's just irrisponsibe, they've no passenger seat manifesto for a train and I doubt it was disenficted by Irish Rail, if this lady didn't go to the toilet between Italy and the NI I'll eat my hat. There really trying to keep a lid on it all.
    Out protocols are working, I can see him regretting those words very shortly.

    There is a difference between creating panic + total incompetence.

    I'm seriously worried that the chief medical officer thinks that any virus can only travel two rows on a plane. The mind boggles.

    Of course it should be but it isn't, It makes people a little more conscious of using a blooming tissue and washing their hands.
    Some of the stuff on here is seriously OTT though.

    I agree, our approach has been a bit lax.
    This could and should change though, when it's too late.

    You do realise it's 2020 and home food deliveries have been available for over a decade.

    You do realise said food deliveries are heavily dependent on fully functioning supply chains?

    If the person got the train from Dublin to Belfast (ie the Enterprise) the majority of seats tend to be bookings (trust me it's rammed) decent chance they would know where person seated and who in same carriage.

    They are not contacting all people. Chief Medicial Officer said only 2 rows on plane will be contacted. Wtf? That is ridiculous. Also no info about whether their family are in quarantine. It's a joke.

    The Dow Jones index of leading US shares has suffered its biggest points fall in history amid the coronavirus crisis, closing down 1,190.95 in New York.
