    How are they supposed to locate America if they don’t have maps? I think she made that very clear....

    Exactly. If I was in my 70s with e.g. diabetes, I'd be very worried. I can see a lot of elderly people isolating themselves from now on.

    HSE experts have informed the public that masks don't work ok? Even if we had any and separate from the fact we don't, ok? Remain calm.

    Dr Ronan Glynn, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, came in for a bit stick on social media. Nevertheless his point was a good one - it is a waste of time and resources going after contacts of contacts. The evidence to date shows that there is very little or most likely no risk of an infected person without symptoms transmitting covid 19. In the case of the school if public health were foolish enough to target contacts of all the students this would probably involve asking about 200 adults (assuming one parent is staying at home already) to stay off work and a larger number of children to miss school for two weeks. If there were a few more cases and the same "logic" was applied the economy would grind to a halt for little or probably no public health gain. In fact money to run the health service would start to dry up. Some people think that China does something around contacts of contacts - not that I ever heard. They have taken action such as city lockdowns, school and workplace closures etc. These are very different measures which were aimed at controlling widespread community transmission which we don't have here yet.

    Should it go ahead, given the risk of mass transmission of infection and potential loss of life due to coronavirus? The benefit is apparently €2bn in tourism revenue.

    I think I might have accidentally hidden the result by accident.


    I stupidly made this poll so only I could see results. Any mid intervention in this respect would be appreciated (whenever anyone is online, I appreciate that it's the middle of the night :D)

    So far, there are 4 "no"s.

    The harsh reality is we're in this for the long haul. There will be no vaccine for 12 to 18 months, at best. In the meantime be very aware that infected surfaces that you touch will infect you if you touch your mouth or nostrils.
    Yes, I know you all know this, but the amount of people I see ignoring this advice on a daily basis is shocking. Fúck it sure we'll be grand does not work with this virus. We have no internal defence against it.

    Face masks

    Using masks is unlikely to be of any benefit if you are not sick.

    Sick people will be advised by their doctor when to use a mask. Healthcare workers need masks and other personal protective equipment to protect them from infection during their work.

    I find it funny that they say it is of no benefit to the population and in the same paragraph they say the doctors need it to protect them from infection
    :pac:

    Home testing by paramedics started in Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare today.
    Are they only testing people with a travel history? Or have they broadened the scope to test people with symptoms only?

    Mainly because most if not all flights from Italy come into Dublin.

    Yes, but can we not just trust people to self isolate? The message should be ‘doesn’t matter how you arrive but if you come from specified places, please self isolate’ Neighbours, family and work colleagues would usually have a good idea where people have been. Hence the parents wanting to take kids out of schools where they know other students have just arrived back from Italy etc

    It's more likely to be habit... rather than ignoring the risk. The fact is that most people, even if they do it right most of the time, they (we) will make mistakes because of prior habits from a time when such a virus wasn't around.... ie. not that long ago.

    The primary functional benefit of a mask is keeping your hands away from your mouth, in which case a scarf will do the same job.

    Masks work best when worn by the case or health care workers that are working with cases/suspected cases (FFP3 with fit testing) . Otherwise they can actually increase the risk by concentrating virus particles on their outer surface especially if worn for long periods. It is surprisingly difficult to avoid touching your face/mask as it is often a subconscious action. Improper mask removal and disposal can also be risky.

    Chlorine will only kill Coronavirus at a strength of 1000ppm which is much higher than a swimming pool. You couldn't swim in 1000ppm.

    You'd want to make sure it hasn't touched much else like. You're probably more likely to pick something up from it.

    no dude ur right, this is it, this is the shít we've been occidentally prepped for via subversive movies, realistically we cant depend on our so called government, everyone secretly knows this, sure the country runs just fine without it, as proven.
    tribalism has continued to exist because of survival hereditary value, the only reason anything survives time.

    why not prepare for the worse? what someone might laugh?
