Because if you get seriously injured or die abroad you or your family could be landed with a bill in the hundreds of thousands to fly you home. It rarely pays out in situations like this one.

If there is a government directive against flying to an affected zone does it cover?

The brick is airborne in this scenario, concussion is the outcome of it cracking you in the head.

Yes and in the covid scenario it is the droplet that is airborne containing the inherent threat (as does the brick). but lets not go down this road.

It is airborne in so far as if someone nearby with the virus sneezes and droplets land on you then you can be infected.

That's not the definition of an airborne virus

I was asking a question not spreading disinformation

Sorry I did not mean to pop at you.

It is just going through me head all the people at work will be saying it was a school trip and it is only a flu.

Also in the thread some people though this was the 2nd case when the story read secondary school closed down.

I shouldn't have said family holiday. All I know is that it was a holiday.

But he is a kid. God love him

Are you sure about this?

I am hearing the SC kids were Indeed on a ski trip to Italy during the break.

Know a parent somewhat involved.

What????

It's been front page of all the papers, first item on news (tv & radio) for weeks.

If you think you might have it, stay at home and ring HSE / GP for advice .

Don't go outside and mix with people.

Don't ring the gp and HSE

Go online for info

That's not how it's defined though and only serves to sow more fear.
you could say concussion is airborne if someone ****ed a brick at your head!

In fact, there is still a possibility that coronavirus might turn out be airborne. So watch out for that brick!

I don't know how helpful that really is have you ever got public transport before in Ireland?...

Maybe it was an ethical decision by News editors on RTE to protect the confidentiality of the person involved.
No such ethics elsewhere , we all know the name of the school from social media .

The School has already been named by the Political editor of the Examiner and 2 local TD's.

So if it will reduce the numbers why not do it?
We are going to get more cases if we can reduce this and slow things down it would make sense.

American and Delta have announced they are stopping flights to and from Milan today.
Other countries e.g. Israel are banning entry to anyone has even visited Italy in the last 14 days.
I am not saying we need to go to that extreme but if we can reduce the number of cases we should try and do something.

Because it won’t stop it; but it will cause significant social and economic consequences.

That balance is not easy to achieve, but I’m happy to go with the view of those who this for a living rather than those have picked up amateur epidemiology in the last 3 weeks or so.

I can't post references as a low post user, but it seems China/ECDC believes it can be both droplets and aerosols (i.e. airborne).

Not a chance I'm taking a packed bus in the morning. Its always full of people sniffling and coughing with standing space only. And then obvious contact with buttons and bars etc.

I'm close to the school aswell so good luck to that.

Just back from a major stockpiling offensive in SuperValu/Dunnes/Tesco and Aldi around Galway. It was beyond emotional.

Very early on I came across an Oriental looking woman and just lost the plot. She could have been Taiwanese, Filipino or Polynesian, hard to say. Anyway I was an inch from her face screaming and spitting about horseshoe bats, border control and supply chain management in a globalised economy when she...she sneezed on me. I ran away scratching my eyes and cursing Jackie Chan.

I spotted a tanned Italian-looking gentleman eyeing up the last of the 3-pack tinned tomatoes. I kneed him hard in the groin and hurled abuse at him while referencing Commodus, Nero, Caligula, Tomba, Sergio Parisse and the perils of Italian Apres-ski. To my astonishment he started pleading to me as Gaeilge. Couldn't understand a word of it so I grabbed the tinned tomatoes and scurried along. Suffice to say, those Connemara women were doing way too much riding with those Spanish Armada sailors!

I knocked over a load of bottles of olive oil and some lad told me to calm down. The red mist descended again and I screamed "Professor BanditLuke of After Hours University said this is fcuking serious....calm isn't an option anymore! You should see his post count!". I stole some hand sanitizer from someone's trolley in Aldi and rushed to the checkouts. They closed Aisle 3 as I joined the queues. Naturally I screamed "45,000,000 people are going to fcuking die you German clowns!! Keep Aisle 3 open!!". When I was packing my provisions, someone on Aisle 1 muttered "it will be just like a bad flu season". He promptly got 3 cans of chopped tomatoes to the chest!! I may live to regret that generosity.

Home now and I am not leaving the house until September. I need to take off this wetsuit and snorkel and have a little cry. How can this happen so soon after the lions mane jellyfish saga!!??

BTW, they are all out of spelt bread. Bastards.

In response to the call for a fast tracked vaccine - maybe you should realise the vaccine may be worse/cause more damage/death than the virus itself!
(With respect to the SARS outbreak)

Heading from the abstract of a SARS_COV vaccine investigation.....

"Prior immunization with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) nucleocapsid protein causes severe pneumonia in mice infected with SARS-CoV"

I thought the school were keeping quiet and the even the media hadn't been officially told (publication of the HSE circular on social media aside) about the fact if was SC.

Bull yes the book was written in 1981 but was later changed in more recent editions.

It was a soviet lab in the book it was later changed to China after China had built the lab in Wuhan.

"WHO's director-general Tedros Adhanom warned on Friday that that it would be a "big mistake" to switch from a public health strategy of containment to mitigation - where authorities accept the coronavirus is spreading."

Google the news stories. 4 days ago they had 400 cases and today they’re at 1,700.

When it goes, it goes fast.
