    Quite possibly! :P

    There may end up being more threads than cases! Probably will be on Part LXVII by Monday!

    Well they aren't testing enough people so of course the numbers will be low unlike Italy that are testing way more and have huge numbers ... well played HSE that is until people start dying and the country realises how badly it was all handled

    Often heard that some parts of the HSE and 'out of hours' are incompatible concepts. I suppose we'll see.

    Wexford Campus (IT Carlow) apparently being deep cleaned presently.

    I must admit I am shattered that the Youghal parade is cancelled.

    It was on my bucket list.

    Just for you so you don't have to ever go..
    Swap the American stuff for Irish stuff and it's pretty much this :pac:

    Dr Colin Henry, HSE clinical officer on the RTE News - advises people to move 2 metres away if another person sneezes or coughs when beside them

    So the question is - how fast would you need to move to get 2 metres away before you are plastered with snot or phlegm? - given the spread of sneezing is estimated at about 150 kilometers per hour or more -

    Answers on a postcard please - addressed to Dr Colin Henry, HSE Head Office

    Also good luck trying to move 2 meters on a crowded bus/train.

    These people don't like in the real world

    Up to 8 metres for a sneeze and 6 metres for a cough.

    The question is how fast would you have to move to get 2 metres away ...

    Similar to the ones who think this means it's nearly all over now... nothing to see here types.

    That doctor is responsible for a lot of this spread. Surely he'll be struck off or will HSE just tighten up more to protect their own?
    He was told to go to work , he informed HSE and was told to report for duty as where he was wasn’t a red zone in Italy at that stage.
    So I would say little chance of him being struck off..

    Asking retired healthcare workers to come back to help when they are the most at risk age group...? Did they think that one through ?

    Yes, because they specifically mentioned using them in non-Covid-19 areas, so as to free up younger staff for those duties.

    Typical HSE, your ****ed in this country if things go tits up at the weekend and your in ICU. It needs to be disbanded. Joke of a health system.

    The phone line and live chat should be 24/7 at this stage - here are the hours "Call us from 8am - 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am - 5pm on Saturday and Sunday"

    From what I understand and I could be wrong but he identified himself to the hse before returning to work and they gave him go ahead to work. So they could be responsible legally.

    Much lower new cases than I would have thought.

    Just the 5.

    Good news for once :)

    0-380 kph in under 0.1 seconds. You'd need a rail gun and all that would arrive at the safe distance would be a sticky red goo -gozundheit!

    The Italian government cancelled all school groups travelling abroad 2 weeks ago.
    Any Italian students here at the moment were already here before that.

    It is infuriating that our government won't do this. My son's school is booked for Italy in mid April. The school checked with HSE and no advice to cancel it. All the money will be lost in any case as flights are still going to Italy. I'm assuming they won't go but no confirmation that it's cancelled.
