    Why did the HSE need to wait to tell GPs (let alone anybody) to self isolate for 14 days when returning from an infected area. This should have been the first thing that was said. That's the only way you could have actually contained this. They are morons.

    No they are 'asking' medical professionals who have travelled from infected regions to undergo voluntary self isolation for 14 days. WTF???

    First of all any medical professional heading of to any infected region against current travel advice - would be negligent in the first instance and grossly incompetent in the second - where they return to treat patients either in a medical practice, hospital or other healthcare facility

    Morons doesnt start to describe the inherent stupidity of this tbh ...

    How long do you wash your hands for in order to make an incoming flight from italy turn around on its heels

    It's not containment phase any more when there's a case and the history can't be tracked to travel or a contact.

    fwiw they STILL wont tell ambulance staff and emergency dept nurses where the cases are either.


    You'd think it'd be a relevant and very important bit of info for us to know? Nah. The HSE are more concerned we'll tell people outside the HSE so they're keeping us in the dark also.

    Like in court cases in involving minors you dont have to name the person but you can give details.

    We all end up knowing sooner or later



    They are living in fear of being sued really, it is shocking they are putting peoples lives over money / court cases.

    From RTE website.

    20:26
    BREAKING: Seven new cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Ireland today, bringing the total number of cases here to 13.

    A further three cases have been confirmed in Northern Ireland.

    That's only 13 tested. There's way more.

    What did people expect the HSE to do? Some of the talk here is just **** talk.

    People raging about flights from Italy. All these people were irish. We can't leave our citizens to be looked after by other countries. Good to see the amount cured increasing. The snowflakes generation we have here is fuelling the panic. Only 0.00027% of the population are infected.

    Child at Alder Hey tests positive.

    Very grim news given that particular facility.

    It's becoming very clear that the UK is riddled with it. Was just in London and tremendous numbers of people coughing and sneezing all over the place, trying to convince themselves it's 'just a cold'. The vast majority of people who have it probably will never know. They'll keep taking the tube to work and infecting everyone around them and only vulnerable and elderly people will pay the price.

    Italian related travel, from what I've read. Would be odd otherwise for such a small country dependent on tourism from all over.

    I was thinking of moving their. Will have to be the Faroe Islands or Aran

    A mask of relevant standard has been proven to provide some protection against viruses. Obviously good hygiene is also needed for this, there's no point in throwing a mask on and saying that's me sorted.

    I would wonder what proven ability to stop anything other than dust the masks on sale have.

    And yes the bolded bit why masks could be more of a threat than a help.

    No darcc, just that some posts are based in an understanding of epidemiology and virology. Come back in a year and compare my numbers to the numbers then.

    Understanding or qualification?????

    Whatever about panic now, when the casualties start coming in is when it will really go into overdrive.

    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.

    IWhat's your mother been treated for? Probably something like atrial fibrillation. Do a chad2Vasc score on her. This tell percentage risk of having a cardiovascular event.if your mom does not turn up to the warfarin clinic, she will not get any warfarin. Warfarin is quite a dangerous medication if not closely monitored.

    Your mom is at way more risk of dying or been permanently disabled from a massive stroke rather than dying of COVID-19. This is an example of the panic that I feared would happen on this thread.

    The HSE come across so badly. Acting cagey, being dismissive, you would swear they were trying to do a cover up.

    Aye this is why the WHO are screaming 'you can't give up on containment' because you need to slow this down to give enough time to do just that: get the sh!t we realised we need.


    We definitely can't give up on containment. Most of the hospitals around my region have set aside 1-2 isolation rooms.

    probably under 50 beds in the country if I'd hazard a guess.

    Unfortunately this pandemic is also having a massive knock on effect on other medical procedures and emergencies. The side-effects alone are going to have massive health implications.
    and we were already struggling with waiting lists and lack of resources. This is just the cherry on top.
