    Why is that?

    This Holohan chap is really inept seemingly. It is incredibly unfortunate how he and his team are approaching this.

    Los Angeles seems to be experiencing a significant outbreak currently.
    Surely if this is not a pandemic then it will never be announced? There appears to be evidence of sustained community transmission literally throughout the globe

    Thought the HSE said that we wouldn't have many cases, plus interest rates were lowered in many countries......so why are cases continuing to rise? Is there gonna be some lag effect before interest rates start to help?

    You'll need to wear a mask and glasses as it can be caught through your eyes.

    Wash those hands, folks.

    Contact them first maybe?

    Ringing for the last 2 hours, no answer. Seems half of Cork may be doing similar.

    Nothing on their website either.

    Have had that typical Irish mentality of not wanting to be the first to do it, but I'm 100% wearing my mask for the commute tomorrow.

    It'll be called an overreaction tomorrow but by next week everyone who can access some will be wearing them.

    HSE are out of their depth and they know it. Which wouldn’t be as bad had they not spent the last few weeks being blatantly ignorant while the rest of the world took this seriously. The shlt is hitting the fan now in ways they hadn’t prepared for nor expected.

    We're in trouble folks. The HSE are incompetent. I reckon we will be over 100 confirmed cases by a fortnight.

    If you have it then you shouldn't be commuting anyway

    "we're still in a containment phase, we can explain the source of every case"

    "apart from that one case"

    Maybe the admins could put a note at the top of the forum of do's and dont's.

    A mask for the public is pointless unless you are a carrier of the virus, when you should be indoors anyway.

    So should front line staff not wear any treating infected patients?

    Still refusing to give details on location or what county the people are from ... Ireland is to small for saying roughly where the outbreaks are .
    And yet for most people this would be considered a perfectly appropriate response with respect to patient confidentiality.

    There is an air about him that I absolutely detest.

    This briefing isn't a briefing when there is zero information.

    No travel ban either.

    As mentioned, we're at the mercy of Britain. This country doesn't have the leadership to make appropriate decisions.

    “Confident of no more cases , travel ban wouldn’t help stop it .. still saying it’s small number and still in containment stage”

    Do these lads really believe that people have confidence in them

    Another Iranian member of government has died from coronavirus, diplomat Hossein Sheikholeslam, former ambassador to Syria

    He seems fairly young if that image is recent, looks late fifties

    Contact gp in morning to get advice. Personally I wouldn't go near the place.

    Neither would I, my elderly mother attends a warfarin clinic every couple of weeks, I've just told her to stay well clear of it.
