    No vaccination for 12-18 months though.

    The rich are as vulnerable as the rest of us now, we all have no immunity to this bloody bug.

    Indeed. But if/when this virus becomes endemic then, with its relatively high mortality rate, it will continue to kill many people in poorer countries because of poor health services and no access to vaccines. Richer countries will have much fewer deaths.

    For those who know, isn't Coronavirus a multi faceted thing, I think it includes the common cold. Still no vaccine for that one yet.

    But maybe this virus can be isolated and a vaccine produced. Ever the optimist.

    The family of coronaviruses includes many, some cause the common cold, but common colds can also come from another family of viruses too, like rhinoviruses.

    Coronavirus family have been found hard to find a vaccine for. They have a mechanism that changes rapidly, so it's shape shifts, a moving target.

    I have to check my research now, but I think this virus is single stranded RNA. So, it does not have an error checking mechanism.

    Hiv and flu, and coronavirus are similar, they change so much that our vaccine weapons fail to find the target.

    All the cases here to date seem to have been found and isolated, which is good news.

    Unfortunately that is quite an assumption. We do not know if there are people who have not come forward. Either because they don't think they have the virus or because they have only mild symptoms and don't want to be identied, or be restricted.

    And we have made no effort to contain the threat from Italian travel. A simple straight message from the start would have greatly helped... welcome but please keep to yourself for the next fortnight. Do not attend school, do not go to work, stay at home and report if you feel unwell. Even still the message is it’s grand & just carry on as you will.

    I said it a couple of weeks ago.

    It is utterly baffling. How stupid can you be?

    'Er dahoy I wonder where Ireland might get covid-19 from'
    'From people coming from northern Italy'
    'We just can't know where they'll be coming from.'
    'No seriously. Just test the people coming from Italy.'
    'Guess all we can do is wait to see if any cases emerge in the general population.'
    'Just test the people coming from Italy and quarantine them if they are infected.'
    'We think that self isolation with people who are not isolated is a viable strategy going forward.'

    St Patricks day will still go ahead..pubs will still be open and probably busy..its just the parade that may be closed

    It would be a great excuse to move st Patrick's day to the summer. No more youngsters freezing in parades.

    Probably by the same method that the HSE picked the magic 15 minute number....

    Out of the backside.

    Agree there. The trinity immunologist questioned the 15 minute HSE pronouncement today.

    I estimate there are as many as 50 cases in Ireland currently, undiagnosed as of now.

    That would be on the low end of my estimate. I'd say it's at least double and rising daily.

    This.

    Apparently it leaves a honeycomb type of scarring on the lungs. I've been reading about permanent lung damage. And if you get reinfected it would only compound this..grim.

    Christ almighty. Grim. And people are still comparing it with a cold or a flu.

    Oh hang on a minute, flights by the dozen from Northern Italy continue to land in UK as we speak. ;)

    European method of killing virus - wash hands
    Chinese method of killing virus - wash hands of human rights

    Only one works

    Can anyone confirm are the HSE only doing tests on symptomatic people including the close contacts of those confirmed?

    If so we could have hundreds of people walking around waiting to have a cough before they get tested

    Would be amazing if reporters actually asked some probing questions
