The Chinese peasantry are rising!

A top Chinese official visiting Wuhan has been heckled by residents who yelled “fake, fake, everything is fake” as she inspected the work of a neighbourhood committee charged with taking care of quarantined residents.

Vice-premier Sun Chunlan, one of the most senior government officials to visit the centre of the coronavirus outbreak, toured a residential community in Wuhan’s Qingshan district on Thursday.

Videos posted online showed Sun and a delegation walking along the grounds while residents appeared to shout from their apartment windows, “fake, fake,” “it’s all fake,” as well as “e protest”.

Some could be heard yelling, “formalism,” a term that has employed frequently recently to criticise ineffective measures taken by government representatives for the sake of appearances.

Probably already posted but case identified in trinity college.
This is going to be the norm now I suppose cases popping up everywhere will probably multiply daily now not worried about myself but definitely extremely worried for parents who have under lying conditions

Work told to stay at home today. Relative of employee ill with corona since monday.

VinLieger · 06-03-2020 07:18AM

As i mentioned yesterday theres also 2 other cases i know personally that werent in the numbers the HSE announced last night.

This hiding of information along with the HSE being several hours behind the live freely available numbers, most noticeably Germany which had announced an increase to 500+ at 6pm but thr HSE by 8:30 was still using the previous days figure of 230.

Non of this inspires any confidence or trust whatsoever.

We are going to be hit hard by this due to their incompetance and refusal to still take real drastic action like stopping flights and quarantining people which all should have started weeks ago.

Very worrying indeed

So of the guys at work were asked (to test the systems) to work from home yesterday. They will be back in the office today will be interesting to hear from them how they felt it worked.

Would have to agree I think the HSE attitude has been very much as if things are under control. The economy seems to be put before people's health. The Patrick day parade is a clear example. It's obvious now nobody will turn up as the people have already decided yet they are still faffing around on the matter

We should be doing far more than we currently are, contact tracing is proving completely ineffective to stop the spread.

Lockdowns are coming and its the HSEs fault.

What's the craic with the penny still not dropping with some posters?

Normalcy bias I presume.

Palestine confirms 7 cases of coronavirus

So was the person who had no connection to travel or in contact with an infected person only tested because their health is deteriorating?

In other words you need to be seriously ill before being tested out of the default criteria?

HSE only testing if you have contact history AND showing symptoms, burying their head in the sand

I had a feeling somebody might say this, especially after that red dot image on the WHO's Twitter page. What if the HSE are strategically announcing cases in a manner that doesn't spread panic? If we take the two cases you're referring to and the red dot on the WHO image, what if there are another 10+ cases that the HSE have already tested as positive but have not announced for whatever reason

Kermit.de.frog · 06-03-2020 07:58AM

I'd be willing to bet tonight's update for Ireland will be in double figures.

Asking for a friend, so if they were in a building yesterday for a few minutes that has now had a case confirmed and is closed for deep cleaning what does my friend need to do, they were told not to come to work and to get tested asap this morning? Thanks

Self isolate, ring GP.

Do NOT go to the hospital.

I think it’s more a delay tactic delay delay delay we don’t want panic or our hospitals over run with patients it’s playing for time ideally they would try get out of the normal flu season so more capacity in the hospitals

I think you have already answered your own question? The bit in bold.

Nigzcurran · 06-03-2020 08:06AM

They have a child and wife, do they need to stay home as well?

It says a section of its Dublin city centre campus will be closed as a precautionary measure, but that the rest of the university will open and operate as normal.

Self isolate and call Gp. Also remember the test won’t show anything even if your friend caught it yesterday. I’d be highly doubtful they’ll test asap.

The GP looks like he could have infected multiples of people and people that were sick..
So he worked in his own clinic for a number of days and then did a shift in A&E and also did work at an out of hours clinic so the possibility is that he could have infected hundreds and the fact his wife is a teacher who also returned to work and the kids all returned to school .
