    China cities are now applying systematic quarantine to people coming from other severally affected areas.

    Interesting reversal of things.

    Wonder if Italian restaurants in China see a fall in business :)

    The figures in Germany are climbing. It will probably take the Germans to take action here and close down all flight travel around the EU.

    They threw in the towel nearly a week ago.

    Maybe we should listen to the UK ministry of health - they claim that using hot water to wash your hands kills the virus.

    What incompetent BS.

    The water would need to be at boiling point to have any affect - eg scalding.

    It's the soap combined with water (of any temp) that removes bacteria from your hands (doesn't kill it)

    Thank God we don't have someone that stupid as minister of health

    Dude I’m not scaremongering look at the trends all over the world, it’s only a matter of time before it’s exponentially spreading. We’re not special we’re the same as every other country.

    I'm sure we have plenty equally stupid people in the HSE, as we have already seen.

    Chances are someone put it up as a prank - put their mates number on the ad so he'd get a ton of calls.

    End of March will tell a different story. All western countries are behind the epi curve. Planes still flying daily with no signs of stopping. Trade & Tourism trumps the value of people in the high risk categories. Remember governments probably see these high risk / mostly elderly people as burdens on the health system anyway. The global population aged 60 years or over numbered 962 million in 2017, more than twice as large as in 1980 when there were 382 million older persons worldwide. We have the "I'm alright jacks" on the thread discarding the seriousness of it but I've noticed that has died down a good bit since the weekend.

    The HSE know we don't have the capacity to deal with an outbreak, that's why they send out all those dopes like Holohan trying to control the narrative via RTE/media and make sure people remain calm. Blood will be on their hands.

    I hope you are wrong. I fear you're right.

    Tony Holohan doesn't work for the HSE and why exactly is he a dope? He's Ireland’s chief medical officer.

    Think of how many wasted tests there’ll be on people just checking, then thinking they're grand while the thing grows inside them before it's actually detectable.

    NI is the place to be now. No doubling or tripling of cases that I know of, and a drive through testing facility. Wowzers.

    Unless the M1 and the Enterprise are cordoned off that is.
