    Tipperary TD calls for 'full disclosure' of coronavirus cases across Ireland

    A Tipperary TD is calling on the HSE and other responsible Government agencies to “tell people the full truth” about the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak in Ireland.

    Sinn Féin’s Martin Browne says there have been rumours circulating locally about employees being sent home from work in Tipperary, and that the lack of information from the Department of Health is doing “nothing to ease the fears of the people” about the potential spread of the coronavirus.

    Deputy Browne wants the Department of Health to “come clean and stop hiding behind excuses like confidentiality.”

    I agree 100%. Not naming the school yesterday was not a breach of confidentiality, it was a failure to inform the public.

    There should be no secrecy, it’s not about confidentiality, it’s about public safety.

    What?

    20% chance of it being announced today or maybe 40% or 60% or 80% or even 100%, as in guaranteed to happen between now and 12PM? What do you think?

    What are you talking about? nobody here can predict the future.

    Asking what you think the chances are. Probability is not predicting the future. It's an educated guess as what might happen.

    If you were a bookmaker what would you set the odds at?

    Went to Tesco Stillorgan this morning. Hand sanitiser shelves were empty and I heard a woman ask if there was any coming in. She said pharmacy had it but were charging over €10 for a small bottle.

    Pasta shelves were mostly bare, but the more expensive pasta and wholewheat were still there

    Anybody who has visited North Italy in the last ten days without a very good reason deserves a Darwin Award, if anybody is left alive to present them this year.
    You do realize hundreds of people are flying in and out of Italy to and from Ireland every day and it is still the same?

    If people choose not to fly they lose the cost of the flights and most likely hotel costs.

    You mean they have the sniffles? Or a bit of a cough?

    Very few, if any, parents sends sick children to school.

    Child abuse!? Jesus Christ.

    No normal parents, but there are some that do. There just seems to be a higher concentration in her school.

    Im not talking sniffles, if my mother had sent me into school knowing i had pooped myself during the night and it happened again in the school yard, I would have been truamatised.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/29/health/coronavirus-n95-face-masks.html

    That’s where the Surgeon General of the United States asks members of the public to stop buying face masks as, “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if health care providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!”

    I’d rather trust the advice of him than the sort of dangerous and hysterical bullshït and misinformation being spread on sites like this and reddit. I think sites like Boards actually have a duty of care to stop the spread of this fake news and anxiety inducing misinformation that targets the stupid people in our society.

    Starting to see an impact at work. One of my team on the continent has been seriously unwell before and has elected to stay at home rather than go on site where we need him. His reasons are completely valid and I only have sympathy for people in that situation.

    Brand new IT infrastructure equipment ordered that we need is delayed indefinitely and we are trying to source used equipment as we have a non movable deadline by EOM. This is an evident example of a slow down in supply chain.

    As you will see the best of Ireland and her people with this Covid-19 situation, you will also see the worst of Ireland too.

    I am sorry but that is in no way shape or form proof of anything bar some people messaging about on WhatsApp that something might have happened.

    Yeah but they greatly reduce their chances of catching a potentially lethal virus, not to mention infecting the rest of Ireland. Gotta weigh it up I suppose...

    I agree....but what I am saying is cancel the flights so people have zero incentive to travel...they can claim money back most likely.
    I am prepared to lose 300 euro worth of flights and if necessary a 2.5k hotel stay...other people won't be.

    In the war against intelligence, experts are the enemy. Un-named youtube accounts provide much more accurate advice in relation to peoples beliefs.


    People need to chill the fuck out, and listen to the advice from verified experts.

    Would like to see them, and the others who are trying to profit during this situation, prosecuted for these actions.
