    Another one in Cork. Apparently unrelated to travel from an affected area which means it's in the community.

    Of course it is.


    But since the HSE want to ignore facts it wont be "official".

    A mathematician who studies the spread of disease explains some of the figures that keep popping up in coronavirus news.

    A mathematician who studies the spread of diseases using a back of the envelope calculation?

    Think I’ll pass.

    In the last week 8 or 9 have died on the roads, I hope no one on this thread has even attempted to drive a car since

    Pointless whataboutery has been done many times on these threads, you are not original whatsoever.

    Car accidents don't tend to be highly contagious.

    Girl on our team jetted off home to Treviso today. Not essential travel from what I gather, just home to see family for the weekend.

    I have work from home access. I'm very tempted to ask (dare I say demand) that I work from home until this blows over. My only concern is how long it'll last, and not being able to demand working from home for that long.

    I and my colleagues can all work from home and I have to say it's become a positive

    If these CHU reports are true the HSE are about to get a very quick lesson in how much serious care a person needs when they are already compromised and then get pneumonia from this virus. If the person is old and ill they might need ICU treatment and constant care. If this has spread into the hospital it could get very messy. Sounds like it out of control already.

    You really think they don't know how much care a person needs :rolleyes:

    We can’t prevent some deaths so let’s not attempt preventing any. That’s your logic here?

    the latest doing the rounds.

    A friend's mum has been contacted by health officials as she is both olderly and was in to see him in the last week or so.

    So it's a case of doctors making the worst patients. If it turns out he didn't self isolate and continued to practice with symptoms I'd imagine he'll be struck off.

    I avoided colds all winter using this. Sachet a day. It's expensive for a months supply. 1000mg vitamin c. The body absorba better due to the making of it. It doesn't cause tummy problems. There's a few Irish online shops stocking it.

    Oh I'm quite in favour of it, I just don't think my company would be in favour of it. I don't think I have a leg to stand on rights-wise as they're following the HSE guidelines (as flimsy as they are).

    Did anyone see the videos on twitter if the Chinese spraying the streets with big tankers at the start of the big spread in Wuhan. Was that a disinfectant I’m thinking it was. Should we be doing things like that here if the Chinese are getting it under control why not copy what they are doing. It sounds extreme but if schools are now closing here and there is spread in the community it’s serious.

    Thousands of people have flown into Ireland over the last few weeks from Italy. This thing will grow exponentially over the next few weeks as those people become symptomatic and contagious.

    Give a few months we might catch up to China. Gove Tony a chance.

    We need to stop flights.
