    Why would anyone be going on a flight to northern Italy ? And anyone coming home from northern italy are surely being screened some how

    No screening at all. Italy are screening everyone stepping off a plane, us fecking ejits..... nothing.
    Ah sure be grand, and better to not know it’s there, doesn’t spread panic and doesn’t strain the health system.
    Anyone hear the can rattling down the road there?

    Becuase most people I know would drop a few grand on a holiday yet won't go 35 or 50 quid more for the travel insurance.

    Then they have a 'shur i paid for it, may go now' attitude.

    Travel insurance won't pay out unless there's the highest level of travel warning. Most people will not get a refund because of coronavirus.

    Do you want to try and answer it seriously?

    Or so you not have an answer?

    Would the presence of medial device companies or multinational drug companies here help us at all during this outbreak. For instance, would any of them be able to produce a generic version of say an anti viral drug that may turn out fo be effective against the virus. Or could they provide us with more assisted breathing equipment or oxygen?
    Ireland needs to try and come up with a cohesive response using all possible resources on this island it can. Feel sorry for the HSE trio at the press conference this evening, I’m sure this is a worrying situation for them. Also Leo or other party leaders should appear and just try and calm the nerves...
    Finally i noticed at the media briefing on the 9 o’clock news people were all sitting one seat apart and rows were quite spread out.

    Just northern Italy?
    So what do you think those Irish returnees would have done in response?

    You have to tease through the implications if your suggested approach; if you want to be taken seriously (after all that’s what public health professionals need to do)
    The majority of cases are in northern Italy so yes.
    Personally I would start a ban for the whole of Italy.
    Set a date, if Irish citizens want to come back grand come back ASAP, they should be tested.

    Do you not see the risks in hundreds of people flying back and forth daily on an ongoing basis? Seriously?

    This thread is tinfoil hat comedy gold. The end of the word posse are in their element.

    Years of stocking up on tins of beans and dog food is finally slightly less crazy than heretofore!!

    Silly post.:mad:

    Beans cause flatulence not good when we are all locked down.

    The Dog Food once you get use to it is much better for the digestive system.

    Why bother with it in the first place if they don't pay out for anything

    While on the subject of infectious disease, what's the story with this plague?

    GDPR.

    But sure that doesn't matter.

    - You know nothing about GDPR if you think that stops them naming the school in Glasnevin.

    Very true.
    No refunds if you don't want to fly to Italy even with travel insurance from what I can see.

    I will be losing 2.5k on a hotel (paid up front) thankfully I contacted them early and they are happy to push date to later in year.

    In fairness the HSE seem pretty confident that the chances of more cases is low, maybe they got to the infected case quickly.

    good news: wasn't a school trip, it was a holiday

    bad news: it was probably during the mid term

    A family holiday, are they all in isolation, lock down?

    Checks on body temperature.
    Usless for people who have it and are asymptomatic of course.

    Not deliberately as in serial killers. But anyone who has the symptoms and couldn't be arsed getting themselves screened. So rogue as in selfish twat.

    Wouldnt the Irish returnees just hop over the border to France and fly from there?


    Of course I see the risks; everyone sees the risks; the issue is how to practically counteract them

    It would be interesting to know what proportion of travellers through Dublin Airport for example have a fever - probably over 100,000 passengers a day

    What would you do with them all!??

    A pharma company can’t just start producing a drug. It would need to be set up and registered to produce the drug. Quality of the product and safety of the plant would need to be assured. At best this would take months.

    Possibly but it would definitely reduce the numbers.

    What is your solution then? I think mine could work on seriously reducing the number of infected people coming into ireland.
    Tell all

    Ban on flights to and from China done in plenty of places, surely similar done for Italy is the next logical step?.

    Yup anything else would leave them open to a class action lawsuit.
    Human testing for most drugs would be close to 12 months.
