    Wonder if the woman in Belfast with the virus bought her train/bus ticket online or from one of those machines before she travelled up?

    Guardian:

    Our Ireland correspondent has more details on preparations in the Republic of Ireland:

    Confirmation that Northern Ireland’s first case of coronavirus returned from northern Italy via Dublin airport has set off alarm bells in the Republic of Ireland.

    Authorities will try to swiftly retrace the patient’s journey – where they sat on the plane, their movements through the airport, and how they travelled to Northern Ireland.

    Simon Harris, the health minister, says Ireland is prepared for an outbreak. But Michael O’Dwyer, head of the department of anaesthesia and critical care at St Vincent’s University hospital in Dublin, told the Irish Times on Thursday that Ireland would struggle to handle even a small number of severely ill patients because the main Dublin hospitals lack capacity for extra patients requiring intensive care.

    That is scary

    Don't worry your bogball muck or English football will keep going:D Barnsley or Norwich or whoever is shaking it up in the lower reaches of the premier league will still need to be watched.

    You're wrong. My mam's aunt's husband's cousin's coworker says that it's likely to infect everyone and we will all die. Please do not downplay this major catastrophe.

    Well according to someone on here...most of the posters on this thread will be dead by Easter...

    Corona down 8% worldwide though :

    It goes on to say...

    Another reason for the drop in purchase intent could be the perception of Corona as a summer beverage associated with beach holidays, noted YouGov on Wednesday. It therefore has substantial seasonal fluctuations, it said

    As a journalist, I have to say that I am shocked at the lack of evidence to back up claims. What's worse is this new online publication WhatsApp which is worse than the Daily Fail.

    WhatsApp seems to be absolutely off the wall with this now. My wife, who to be fair has been on top of this story and very level headed for a long time got a message tonight which got her panicking.

    Something about a hotel shutdown in Dublin and St Vincent's and Beaumont having cases blah blah blah.

    I had to remind her that this was a forwarded message on WhatsApp, some twat most likely made it up and off it went.

    Good point made there by a doctor on RTE, Chinese people take a tremendous pride in their country and protecting it and have all rowed in the same direction to stop the virus

    Here we are still making father ted jokes and moaning about a cancelled game of rugbyball.

    You mean they're all a great bunch of lads? :pac:

    That's my concern, the impact on our health system, which surely has to affect people who don't even have the virus, let alone the people who do.

    My catchphrase again is "flatten the curve".
