Realistically what is the HSE meant to do to catch every single case?, every other country has failed so far...but noo the HSE should bust out the superman capes and catch all cases or they are ****e.

Singapore hasn't failed so far. Stop spouting nonsense.

Again, you can't cite an example. You just keep up the nonsense scaremongering narrative without owning it with followup. Lame posting trick.

You can post references to scientific journals without the narrative nonsense.

There you go. Read it.

Honestly why get so worked up over someone trying to help others see the bigger picture and make a rational decision for themselves, based on the evidence to hand?

Posting from UK and feeling horrible tonight. Think I was still in denial until today. I expected this uptick in cases, I expect it to get worse like Italy week by week, but I don't think my mind truly believed it. If this is going to circulate like the flu i.e pretty much everyone could just happen to pick it up, I'm really preparing for the worst re my parents and other older relatives. They're only just 70 but they both have heart issues - never had a heart attack or stroke or anything but just take loads of tablets that kind of thing. Mum especially i can't see her coming through it not least the stress. Ah man depressing myself writing this this is s real heap of crap. Just got to keep our fingers crossed for a summer miracle 😟😟

If it's any consolation surely Ireland will benefit from smaller and less populous population

Would love to know the answer myself as am in the same position (pregnant teacher).
Going to ring my consultant tomorrow.

I did get message from my breastfeeding group which said (very limited study 6 samples) showed it did not transfer into breast milk.

I heard several clinicians comment in recent days that there seems to be no inordinate risk to expectant mothers, the foetus or newborns.

Of course talk to your obstectrician but I think you will be reassured.

Labs OUTSIDE of Ireland got scans wrong which is known as its not 100% accurate.

Happened all over the world.

What had that to do with the HSE?

Church of Ireland have proper guidelines to protect parishioners and clergy, eg not to call clergy on a sick visit if suffering from suspected case.

The Catholic Church have stopped shaking of hands and closed the holy water fonts according to my grandmother.

The authorities made the decision not to restrict travel, or didn’t make the decision to restrict travel (whatever way you want to look at it) so the virus was always going to reach our shores.

If the virus spreads and infects enough people then there will be fatalities in Ireland, but there are fatalities everyday in Ireland from viruses so it not really that big a deal.

What are other people doing to prepare themselves when the country goes into lock down?

Will we still have electricity or should I go out now and buy and buy gas cooking rings and a ton of gas? Really want to get a load of meat and freeze it but not sure if electricity will be turned off?

I have 72 cans of tinned food, loads of pasta and sauces and bottled water.

Really not looking forward to this.

I have more cans of beer, not even joking

On a serious note my spare room is pretty laden with food "just in case" all longnlife food that will be used over the coming months if this all calms down.
