    It'll happen eventually. Keep saying it each day and when it comes through you will be a visionary.

    Nope the marker is just for an hour or two. Just to see. Obviously there will be a death eventually. Not trying to be that guy

    Quick calculation of current cases per million population,

    South Korea 128 per million
    Iceland 100 (pop 340,000)
    Italy 76
    China 58
    Iran 56
    Norway 18
    Sweden 13
    France 9
    Belgium 9
    Germany 8
    Spain 6
    Austria 6
    Ireland 4
    Denmark 3
    UK 2
    Canada 1
    Portugal 0.8
    USA 0.8

    Can’t help but feel that Ireland’s stats are skewed as many of our cases relate to a unit of travellers such as families or groups

    Come here to me, and this is going to sound really stupid but go easy on me right. When they go on about community transmission.. surely its all community transmission no? Sure it’s not the region of italy that’s infected it’s the people in it. Isn’t everyone who is infected getting it from person to person? Splain it to me slowly.

    The reason it’s important is because it suggests the “carrier” who passed it on has been wandering around the local community shedding everywhere with no way of tracing them, as opposed to someone who was infected abroad and *might* not have passed it on to others yet.

    But it currently is a low risk. What's with all the mentalers convinced the HSE are lying to us? And I'm not quite sure who's pulling the strings either, the HSE, big business or Leo himself.

    What's their projected risk for 10 days time?
    It's absurd to talk about risk today as if it is a fixed constant.
    It is like looking at a small fire and assuming it won't get any bigger.
    It's weasel words.

    They never mentioned the person in Trinity College plus the fact that I don't think the Irish Times was lying earlier. Oh and the fact that various posters on here have said the correct figures are not been given. But the biggest giveaway is that you can tell they are lying every time their lips move.

    Its not that they are lying its what time cut off are they using when the report the figures.

    Some experts are advising that you should sneeze into your elbow.

    Elbow touching is also now the new form of greeting supposedly.

    How absolutely thick are some people? Sneeze into your elbow then go and touch someone else with it? We're doomed.

    Taking into account right until now all the infected have been irish passport holders I don’t see how your idea would have helped.


    Of course it would, two weeks for them all.

    I've been saying it all along, until there is WIDESPREAD fatalities due to this virus (which there sadly will be) then the country will wake the F-up and realise the short window of opportunity to minimize deaths was wasted by FG/Varadkar/Harris/Holohan/HSE determining that setting up a table at Dublin Airport to hand out leaflets to travelers in from Northern Italy was the most effective preemptive measure to save lives

    What would you have done as a matter of interest

    Where are the reports of a death coming from. Can we stop repeating it if it's unconfirmed rumour.

    It's not very helpful. I am aware that i just repeated it.

    If we’re a few weeks behind Italy as many believe, anyone know what it’s like over there right now? I mean we’ve got the numbers and they look grim, but what is the day to day like? People staying at home or going to work, businesses open or operating, etc? Obviously different regions are different depending on intensity of outbreak
