    Paddys day is a different story given the numbers everywhere

    Given the UK is right behind Italy now I can see football matches etc going soon. Government is preparing the people there for it in the language they use.

    Our officials went into more pessimistic language today also.

    Some seriously bad mistakes made from the start with this outbreak, it should be looked back as a lesson in what not to do and at a time when the last government have let our health service fall asunder the last few years
    Sadly too many lessons the 'powers that be' running this country have experienced over the decades and they repeatedly never learned from any of them all while plebs like us were screaming the bleedin' obvious at them and being told to commit suicide by the likes of Bertie

    HSE: oh we’ve been preparing for this for the last few months.

    Is there any reputable source for the theory that warmer weather might slow the spread of the virus down?

    Why not sporting events? Thirty or forty thousand people watching a game for 1-2hrs mingling together, using public toilets, crowded round food and beer stalls.

    2 cases are associated with local transmission via someone who had travelled and 1 is unknown.

    So 3 of the 7 occurred here in Ireland. (Just read out on sky news)

    A lot of the population probably should be wearing them at this stage . I think anyone who has a cold or is feeling unwell should mask up at this stage.

    Or they do some common sense and sneeze in to an elbow or a tissue and wash there hands. There is no need for you have to wear a mask because you sneezed

    If they don’t protect you why are healthcare workers wearing them. They don’t want you buying them to protect supplies, of course they give some protection.

    Because they put them on when they see the patient then straight after throw it away and re sterilize there hands after taking off there gloves. or do we all now have to go around with gloves on
