    All joking aside this sort of public education TV and radio etc is precisely what’s needed over coming weeks and months.

    That nasal swab test sounds rather uncomfortable...

    Never mind the coronavirus, let's get this doctor off the streets asap, he is clearly a danger to the general public.

    Any word on how the Popes getting on? Should make a full recovery with the medical care he has.

    He's resting in bed just like anyone his age with a head cold should be doing.

    Yes, with pandemics numbers get large very fast but that’s assuming 100% of the population gets infected which won’t happen. It is a rough estimate but less than 20% of people in Ireland in 1918 seem to have caught the Spanish flu so even if you went with that figure and ignored the effects of rationing/malnutrition and 100 years of medical advancement you wouldn’t hit 10,000.

    Plus most people died from superimposed bacterial infections in 1918-1920 cause they didn’t have antibiotics. We have antibiotics now. That’ll reduce death rates even further.

    Fair enough. There was a GP in Cork who said, a few days ago, that less than seven people will die of the coronavirus in Ireland. What do you think of that figure?

    Dont know where you've heard that.

    What was said is they'll issue guidance tomorrow so that organisers of events have something to work with in terms of decided if they have to cancel events or not.

    Most large events are likely to have decisions taken with the HSE and Gov

    Look I’m telling you what I heard on the radio news tonight, maybe it will be an advisory. All I’m saying is that I wouldn’t be at all surprised if organizations decided to put large events on hold. Anyway we’ll find out tomorrow I suppose.

    They took relatively drastic action in Japan.

    They've shut all their schools amongst many other things.

    They're also hygienic, considerate people. You wouldn't see Japanese people coughing and spluttering and then shaking hands with people (they don't even shake hands there). I'd be very surprised if their hygiene practices didn't make a significant difference compared to other places.

    A friend of mine works in a school and some of the kids are back from a midterm ski trip in northern Italy. A couple of the teachers on the trip rang the HSE saying they were not feeling well. HSE told them their symptoms did not sound like the virus. Why aren't schools who have had school trips to Italy being tested?
    Not feeling well could mean anything. They might not have respiratory symptoms. Although neither you or I know the details of the interaction they had with the HSE.

    True but why do the HSE state they will be testing people who have been in a place that is rampant with Covid 19, when it looks like they are not..
    Testing will be done on patients from infected regions but who also have symptoms. If people aren't ill isolation may be all thats required. Theres no need to spend valuable time and resources on those who feel fine.

    It’ll be a lot more than 7. And no, based on how numbers have been twisted here I won’t be going into what I think the death toll will be.

    As to events being cancelled. I certainly wouldn’t be going if they weren’t cancelled anyway. Why take the risk when most of these things are televised anyways?

    Many people will now know what to expect if/when they go into hospital and won't be as frightened. Good public service broadcasting.

    Re: immunity. Coronaviruses mutate so rapidly that frequently catching it once doesn’t confer immunity. There have been quite a few cases of apparent reinfection unfortunately.

    is the re-infections not possibly due to the fact the Covid-19 test itself is not very accurate , and people have to get tested a few times to be sure??

    True and should have been done already.

    But the start of the show looked like they came up with the idea today and is comical.

    Nobody is in self-isolation which should be the minimum that needs to be done.
