    Teacher in the school already mentioned on shut down is the second case.

    (Well if the Gov won't tell us anything may as well speculate!)

    See how easy it is to cause anxiety for many. Lack of even vague enough information is not on.

    Properly done contact tracing should prevent or slow down the imported cases from becoming clusters.

    Actually, UK seemed to have done a fairly good job of it.

    It's the jump to local transmission clusters we need to get a grip on.

    Also, I see no material benefit to reporting locations of imported cases as long as contact tracing is done properly.

    Shame we can have no confidence in our authorities being equally effective at contact tracing given the time lapsed between band practice and the other band members getting notification. Or being equally effective at anything tbh after the band letter hoax farce this morning.

    Simon Harris was lambasted for suggesting the Ireland Italy game be cancelled by all the "know it alls" last week.

    Not a clue.

    How do you think stopping flights from Italy will make any difference?

    Train to Geneva, Paris, Brussels, Luxembourg..... flight to Dublin.

    No use, only route if you were to go that way is to ban everyone leaving Italy altogether.

    How many Irish people have to be homeless before FG decide to build sufficient housing? Leo will follow whatever big business wants, sacrifices will be made to keep the economy flowing.

    Wuhan/China will soon be the safest place to live.

    USA seems like its going to explode very soon. Evidence of 6 weeks community spread. very ineffective testing.
    Iran -Out of complete control. They released 54,000 from prison to contain it. 23 out of 70 from parliament infected.
    Egypt-Linked to 4 cases in Europe. Many countries banning flights to the country
    Italy- Very suspect numbers, evidence of maybe 6 weeks community spread
    Growing exponentially in mainland europe

    It's OK, once the IRFU contacted their insurers all was fine. Just needed a few days to do that.

      I made a slightly tongue in cheek comment.

      Hope you got the gist.

        If FFG won't build houses at the behest of big business, then they won't close down the country to protect people's lives over their livelihoods, also at the behest of big business.

        Not saying I agree, but it is relevant.
