RTE still not naming the school, completely irresponsible.

- Censorship is now operating in Ireland with a few media outlets. Shocking stuff.

Hope the E.U. steps in and has a word.

What's the licence fee for again?

Honestly I was fuming earlier watching that joke off a HSE Press conference.

Why did you question my source on the mater earlier but then disappear after that?

I went to the gym. But like cmon, do you think I actually believe everything I read on the internet without a source.

8 minutes on RTE. Trying to hide something.

So I'm a parent of a student in the effected school. HSE are saying just my son needs to be restricted etc.. What do i do ? Continue on as normal in the office tomorrow ?

VinLieger · 01-03-2020 10:12PM

RTE need to cop on with their reporting, saying globally nealy 3000 have died when 2870 were in china is incredibly disingenous, lazy and the kind of misrepresenting that causes panic

What's the worst that can happen from people panicking? The stock market loses some percentage? What's the worst that can happen from a lackadaisical response? Dead people.

Yeah yeah but they will just be old and sick people, not to worry roight.

Plus...even if they did have cases I doubt they would admit it

North Korea obviously has very few visitors. Almost all of them come via China. They stopped all tours about a month ago. I'd be surprised if they did have cases.

Still dangerous for certain areas of the population of course, but not world endingly fatal that some seem to think it is.

Nobody thinks this. At all. They are concerned for older relatives. That you can't see why people on here, the media and even the markets are concerned about that...well I don't know what to say. You'll be fine, I'll be fine...a lot of people might not be.

I would contact your employer they may not want you in the office if working from home is an option. Best of luck I’m sure it’s a worry.

I think you should stay home too.

What's the point in quarantine if you're going to breach it multiple times a day?

Your biggest concern tomorrow is a paper cut. The "frontlines"are treacherous.

Yet again. I don't understand why you are slurring clerical staff. Why don't you know..... slag off my actual profession?

Bizarrely, you seem to be clerical staff. Why are you slagging off your own profession?

ACitizenErased · 01-03-2020 10:14PM

It's quite clear that the Department of Health are directing RTEs reporting. It's a state broadcaster.

They knew rightly that the details would get out very quickly but they are bound to preserve the privacy of patients. So, don't name names and let social media do the leaking.

Surely some transparency about the location and reach of the virus in Dublin so far would put people's minds at ease and assuage fears that you might be one of the people at risk. That would deter a lot of the people spreading rumours and give them less credibility as good information is coming from the health service.

In a breakdown of it all, Ireland has less than 250 ICU beds (public hospitals only). We have less than 50 isolation rooms that have air filtration systems in place and not enough ventilators in the country to deal with an outbreak of coronavirus.

That's why precautions and measures have to be taken now. A poster above you said that he was in the pub last night and he saw no one washing their hands in the toilet. At the same time it's reported the risk of infection is low. This is going to spread with carelessness. People need to know this is serious and implement good hand hygiene practices and the use of tissues with coughing and sneezing to minimise the spread of the virus.

Do you believe in opportunity for all?

You have to give them a chance. You can't expect people to die the day they are diagnosed, in the same way you can't expect Covid to spread from individuals that are still in the incubation period. It's simply expecting too much.

Have you any dealings with the mater? Also staff in other hospitals know about this as the mater is where the infectious diseases are looked after.

I guess where this is going is that I, along with others it seems, are calling bullsh*t on your claims to be an ‘in the know’ medical professional

- He needs to resign to have any credibility after this. Actually like the guy.

This could really damage Journalists unless they speak up and some have already on Twitter. Another which I won't name basically is saying unless we live close by it's none off our Business. Very patronizing.

I was listening to a doctor from the Royal college of surgeons interviewed, he was making the point that panic response that have severe economic effects will effect health outcomes.
This is a balancing act between a population protecting itself but at the same time society functioning. That is important to health also.

I have two friends battling serious illnesses at the moment. They're not elderly but, based on reported effects on immunocpromised patients, this virus will probably kill them if they are infected.
