    Best thread for ages on Boards. No one cares about this and that, it is the banter and the odd bit of information that keeps us here.

    Because one is deliberate trolling and the other isn't.

    This is it last few days there's been a bit of humor which nobody really minds. I don't see any harm of anyone putting out some info if they have it, it won't be long getting called out if they've been duped.

    Tonights been a particularly bad night though some woeful crap coming through other channels for me even from usually good sources of current affairs. So far I've established..

    There no hotel on lockdown.
    No cases in Dublin hospitals.
    There's nobody they won't remove from an ambulance in Galway.
    There will always be cases in the airport.

    BBC newsline some common sense
    They stated current evidence says 4 out of 5 people who get it will have a fairly mild flu that's it. It's not gonna be like 28 days later people are going over the top and it's clearly being hyped up by social media etc.

    Common sense and open ears is advising that maybe 1 out of 5 will have problems. Also that it’s more transmissible than normal flu and bugs. If it takes real hold, that’s potentially 50,000+ citizens in difficulty. We’re not the Chinese, we can’t just shut down say all access to Dublin. It takes us 10 years to build a hospital, not 10 days. We are right to be concerned and demand appropriate action.

    What you probably miss every 30 posts

    - I can’t believe they are not screening people at airports
    - I cannot believe how unprepared the HSE is and what a balls they made of this
    - it’s 2% death rate
    - no it’s .01%
    - More people die from the flu
    - someone then will follow up with flu infection rate vs Coronavirus infection rate to counter this point
    - someone making a joke about it
    - someone make a big deal about x new infections in country x
    - someone giving out because it’s not being taken seriously enough here
    - someone giving out because it’s being taken too seriously
    Bump :)

    Cue the hurricane of What's App messages when the first case is confirmed in the ROI, I'll be switching the phone off.

    Nevermind the HSE been ready. I hope the mobile networks are, cause an outage the amount of traffic generated!

    Do you honestly believe we will have anything like those numbers?.
    There has not been a massive explosion in UK since they got a few cases I think we will be same.



    I think calling a load of portacabins thrown together in 10 days a hospital is a stretch.




    In fairness half our schools seem to be portacabins so we can't talk...

    Great article in The Economist, which is not known for hyperbole, that they ought to read in the HSE:

    “In public health, honesty is worth a lot more than hope. It has become clear in the past week that the new viral disease,covid-19, which struck China at the start of December will spread around the world. Many governments have been signalling that they will stop the disease. Instead, they need to start preparing people for the onslaught.”

    Screening is a waste of time in most cases, infected people are symptom-less passing through airports. There's a reason health officials are trying to focus their efforts on identifying people with actual symptoms in the community and not focusing entirely on ports of entry.

    Not that old hoary chestnut?

    You better tell that to the Chinese and the Italians who have now introduced screening of all travelers at airports etc

    People can be either symptomatic or symptonless. Screening will at least help identify the former.

    But fek it that might cost money right? Harris is an eejit.

    Why 50,000 and why 50,000+? It could easily be 10 or 100,000. 40% of all people know that.

    Number of cases in Switzerland rises to 9 in 24hrs including a child minder.

    A number of children have been taken for testing and isolation.

    My point was no one else has really done it at all.
    No way Ireland would stick it's neck out to ban flights from Italy at this stage.

    If it affects a significant majority quickly, what type of impact could that have on the work force? Could be serious in that sense if lots of services are on skelton staff or just closed.
