    A bit of pasta with sauce and you're on your way, they've been coming at this all wrong.

    You wonder if the initial European hotbed had been in a more 'socially responsible' country like Denmark, would the virus have spread so far so fast. If I was from Lombardy I'd like to think I'd be putting off any foreign travel, even if I wasn't showing any signs of the illness.

    It's bizarre. It's almost like nobody knew about what had happened in China and just thought fcuk it sure be grand like. I guess people are very self centred even up until yesterday people moaning about the rugby match being cancelled.

    I have always maintained that to really tackle climate change we need to have serious negative economic growth across the world i.e. less consumerism, less needless travel, less industrial activity, less energy needs, less goods transport, less food variety/imports, less cars etc etc. Of course no government will ever admit this or implement this. Ironically the new coronavirus will reduce economic growth and probably have a positive impact on the environment. I even saw people on this thread reluctant to order anything from China.

    Partly the most problematic is said to be those with no symptoms spreading the virus. That's what I read unless someone has newer information.

    When it comes to these diseases there is a fine line between asymptomatic and minimally-symptomatic IMO. A lot of us spend the guts of the winter with a bit of a runny nose, a slight cough, and/or a scratchy throat, but never get close to feeling like we are really sick or needing to visit the doctor. My guess is that this is possibly not being spread by totally asymptomatic folks, but more likely by a lot of people with minimal symptoms (like those described above) who just don’t consider themselves to be ill.

    Most rational humans should see past Ted Turner's personal vendetta against Trump.

    If a cataclysmic comet was discovered speeding towards earth, CNN would name it Trump's Comet.

    The Death Cruise :(
    To be fair, luxury cruises would be heavily skewed towards the 60+ age cohort, and people with chronic or long-term illness.

    This is unfortunately what makes quarantine so cruel, but the apparently high death toll shouldn't be considered an indicator of the general mortality rates of the virus.

    There's a quite a bit of "being seen to be doing something" in this. Realistically the Belfast case landed in Dublin, stood at passport control potentially with hundreds from other flights, went to the baggage hall potentially with hundreds, may have used the toilet there, left the airport through a potentially crowded arrivals hall, got on a random packed bus, went to a packed Connolly Station, got on a train. Etc.

    And all of those people have since now scattered across the city. At this stage "all possible contacts" is in the hundreds of thousands if we factor in second-hand contact.

    On one hand we have to make an effort to try and stem the spread. On the other hand contacting plane and train passengers is merely pissing in the wind when there are hundreds of other contacts that are untraceable.

    You accuse others of being dramatic and then post that OTT drivel, in response to a fairly measured, reasonable, common sense post.

    PS. Masks can help prevent the spread, but who gives a sh1t about other people right?

    i gave an equally ridiculous reply, "WHO GIVES A **** ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE RIGHT?" where do you people come from lol All we'll have here is old healthy paddy with about 50 million masks "just incase" and we ll have a shortage for the people that actually need em. Its like the bread scenario except dumber.

    But cary on Chief buy your masks **** it go all out get the hazmat suit! cant be too careful!

    P.s Careful joe or ill be coughing on you next! cause thats what im out to do according to urself and the poster ur defending im just killin people lmao

    How could they tell. A good percentage of people would buy tickets at the machines some with cash.

    That would be interesting.

    If they found what seat number she had and took swaps around it. Could they detect the virus now?

    Sure they said they will only be contacting people who sat "within 2 rows" of them. Because obviously thats how planes work.

    Sick Person buys a drink and hands over cash to steward.
    Steward visits vast majority of people. They are now possibly infected
    Sick Person goes to the toilet.
    Other people use that same toilet and return to their seat. They are now possibly infected
    Sick Person, whilst putting their bag in the overhead bin, moves your bag. You are now possibly infected

    I really hope they contacted everyone on that flight, and everyone who got the train she got on. Assuming everyone was registered and pre-paid.

    Otherwise if they are stick to the "2 row" rule, thats probably about 10 people.

    A virus might cull the numbers considerably, that will help in the fight against climate change. Every cloud..... silver lining etc.

    Just on Newstalk - a company in Limerick makes a million masks a week with a 45 person workforce. They are scaling up to 24/7 and 2.75 million masks a week. 45 people seems like good insurance against this kind of thing right. Maybe we`ll learn about some important things about insurance against supply chains based in other countries

    What is the name of the company?

    That is a huge amount of masks within that time period. You sure that's correct?

    Lady from HSE on the radio said everyone on the flight has been contacted and categorized in terms of risk and proximity.

    The Dept of Health talking heads on TV refused not say if it was the train or the bus or even what day she traveled on.

    This complete lack of transparency may spook anyone who traveled the route recently.
