    Box office simple.
    I think Italy box office down 75 percent last week from this time last year.

    On the plus side Netflix and Dettol have never had it better.

    I am going to ask one of the most bloody obvious questions in the world. Why is Leo's committee meeting on Monday and not tomorrow? We might not be in the containment phase for long.

    They should be meeting daily

    The risk of transmission at the parade would still be tiny given the extremely low number of cases in the Republic.

    I can't see the case for the cancellation of the parade with such a low risk. And why target the parade only and no other gathering of any description in the country? It seems hugely inconsistent.

    I have to disagree with this.

    Contact tracing is essentiall for containment purposes, and will be impossible after a large event with people coming from large areas.

    2,000 families unemployed tonight vs 91 people with a bad flu.

    I know which one I'd rather. People seem to have lost all sense of perspective in the hysteria.

    The criteria for a suspect case are:

    Respiratory disease including fever and recent presence in an infected area
    or
    respiratory disease including fever and exposure to someone who was recently present in an infected area
    or
    Respiratory disease including fever that requires hospitalization.

    I dunno. I have most of the symptoms for the non-serious form of the disease. I developed them two weeks after my wife did. My two year old has been fine. So I wonder is it coronavirus because of the apparent long incubation and it seeming not to affect our toddler. But I don't need hospitalisation and I haven't been around anybody from an infected area so I don't meet the criteria to be a suspect case.

    It probably isn't and I think we're all fine. But if 80% of people shrug this off then it seems likely that there will be a transmission beyond one degree of separation from an infected area before it is detected. Especially if you're looking at teenagers and students who are generally not hit hard. So you could be waiting until someone needs to be hospitalized before they test for it, once it moves beyond people who have been in Italy/China etc and people they know.

    It is beyond bizarre and incredibly worrying that the HSE are raising questions about this thread.

    I am finding that there is some very good analysis here. I'm also have noticed a rise in doubters the past few days. That makes me wonder is there a correlation with the HSE questioning.

    Hopefully the thread lasts because it is probably the most informative and realistic resource in the country right now.

    There's bound to be a few HSE shills on here!

    The public have a right to know. There are lots of other people who have returned from Italy, their families and neighbors who are wondering about the incubation period. They need to self-isolate

    The public have a right to know to accurate and up to date advice. They have no right to know the detailed travel history of medical patients.

    The advice is here btw: https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/advice-for-people-returning-from-affected-areas.html

    I think they were a group of TYs and were told to stay off school for a week when they came back.

    Thats a rumour. Hopefully may have prevented further transmission if true.

    I think the HSE would be more upfront. It's not as if they created the virus and have to cover it up.

    Just a rough area of where these cases are would help people decide what level of precautions they should take e.g. in terms of avoiding large group.

    "The West" could mean one of the Aran Islands or close enough to me here in Limerick.

    Unless you are a doctor or work in risk management or have some other interest I am finding people outside the thread worryingly uninformed.
    When have the HSE raised questions about this thread?

    Let's just say the info here is hit and miss imo. But I find it an interesting read.

    Despite some posts which are beyond hysterical, there's plenty of useful discussion and up to date information here. I also hope it lasts. I see no reason why it shouldn't.

    Thery don't need a new law there is a provision in Shengen to curtail travel. No use trying to bail out a boat if you leave the hole in the bottom.

    Somewhere between you and him lies the truth. probably closer to him.

    If you think the virus will be gone in two weeks then you haven't a clue.

    If you think the HSE is not capable of whitewashing you are even more clueless.

    It's going to get a lot worse.

    The only people without perspective are those who don't understand the full gravity of the problem.

    It goes why beyond direct health effects. We have an outbreak like in Italy here and we will be in the worst crisis in the history of the state.

    We are not prepared for this as a country.

    As for FlyBe - the Directors are relieved to have the excuse i'd say. It was going bust anyway.

    Just heard a barman in Italy got charged for serving coffee at the bar. Faces up to 3 months in prison for violating social distancing measures.

    Serving coffee is the baristas job.

    Crossmalina is near Westport and Castlebar which are both connected to Dublin by train. Also Knock airport is close enough, plus all the people who go to college in Galway from that part of Mayo, and LYIT, and Sligo, Limerick etc

    I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that most or all of the returning school groups from Italy had at least one carrier.

    I'm the antithesis to a HSE shill. :D
    Any update we get I'll pass it on.


    Too bad they're keeping front-line staff in as much darkness as the general public. :(


    If **** really hits the fan I'm not looking forward to the absolute slack jaw dinosaurs who will be running the response to this.

    Reckon I'll go rogue all together.

    The farthest I went on a school trip was to Dublin Zoo. Half the secondary school population in the country were in Italy in the last few weeks by the sound of things!!

    There was a school in Sligo due to fly out on Friday.

    That - thankfully - has now been cancelled.
