Banning flights within the EU is unlikely to happen (without the EU imposing it).

As I understand it, the EU do not have any competence with regard to health issues... that is up to the individual countries.

Honestly, if you've nothing better than that to contribute...

There's more to be done - pester your local TD, email Varadkar and Harris, and contact Ryanair. These flights need to be shut down, and public opinion seems to be the only way to do it.

The only thing that surprises me is that Varadkar isn't out in Dublin airport taking selfies with those flying in to show what a welcoming country we are.

What about the flights from Madrid which has over 500 cases?

The UK minister should bring this up at the EU level as it would be more effective.....oops.

Please do not do this. As a carrier, you may not know you are infected and infect others, including vulnerable people. You do not want to get this illness, even 'non-serious' cases can require intubation, it is so easy for healthy lungs to get pneumonia and get permanently damaged. Seriously, read accounts of it from people who have experience.

Indeed. BA are flying empty planes between Heathrow and Gatwick (and back again) just to keep their slots.

Odd how it seems to be getting into government buildings a lot
Ted Cruz in self isolation in the US too apparnetly was in contact with an infected person

Ted Cruz would be best off in a state of permanent self isolation to be honest

Coronavirus Ireland: Over 100 parades on brink of cancellation

https://www.independent.ie/world-news/coronavirus/coronavirus-ireland-over-100-parades-on-brink-of-cancellation-39027370.html

"More than 100 St Patrick’s Day parades and festivals are on the brink of cancellation as organisers face “significant pressure” to put public health first.

Organisers of dozens of events will meet over the next 72 hours to decide on next steps, amid the ongoing coronavirus threat.

The Government decision to allow the major city parades to proceed has been criticised by both health officials and campaigners."

..............................................................................................................

What's to decide? How much moola to pull in before they call it?

72 hours from now is Thursday morning...are they hoping it will be loo late for people to cancel plans so that even if they don't get to go to the parade they will spend anyway?

Cancel it now and give people the chance to change their plans.

This should have been done last week. It's awful.

This is complete hosesh1t tbh, look after your own personal health and don't attend. Dont depend on a nanny state to make all the calls for people.

I desperately fear the answer to this question.

How did you know they were Italians, through a web cam?

You picked that up wrong. It's the influx of visitors to Ireland that should have and could have been stopped long before now.

You've clearly not read any of my posts. I will not be going.

Free travel regulations means our hands are tied regarding travel advice, basically until they say so. Not sure what point that will be

Backpacks on, many of them they looked roughly Italian in ethnicity. On the audio, you could hear Italian being shouted around the place as well as English. My sister was in Dublin and she confirmed large groups of Italian tourists around all weekend, many of them being racially profiled and singled out. While I can understand people's fear, I feel that to blame the Italian people for coming here is unfair. We are asking for it with our flight restrictions and no requirement for isolation.

Very good podcast series from London school of hygiene and tropical medicine. There's loads of episodes talking about all aspects of the outbreak with world leading experts. Or you could just get the latest here. :pac:

In this episode we speak to Annelies Wilder-Smith, Professor of Emerging Infectious Disease at LSHTM. With a team of scientists, she has just published a paper on the success and failures of quarantining the Diamond Princess cruise ship, with their research showing earlier evacuation we could have prevented hundreds of passengers and crew becoming infected, and what this means for other countries and their policies going forward.

Just wondering, did Dublin fill up with Italian rugby fans at the weekend, despite the game being cancelled?

Gods Gift · 09-03-2020 02:06PM

Italian rugby shirts.

Everyone gave them a wide berth

Thats quite a narrow minded view to take. Even if he doesnt attend, he may have to experience the consequent epidemic and strained health infrastructure, we all will. Government makes decisions in best interest of the whole country

1000 in Spain, not all in Madrid.

They should be grounded. But at the very least there needs to be
1. screening before or following the flight
2. mandatory isolation at home when someone arrives

The number one reason for the spread through out Europe was cheap flights from Northern Italy all over the continent.

If only there was a way they could have been stopped weeks ago?

There is no "they". Each member state can implement restrictions on the basis of public health considerations. None of them have done so to date.

10-year Treasury yield hits new all-time low of 0.318%

This was not even seen in 2008.

Investors are flocking to treasury bonds and fear a recession.

2020 is a wild ride.

Yeah, I took the original number to mean Spain but the article says they went up by 200 in the Madrid area.

At least Milan airport seems quiet.
Plane just took off for Manchester
Ryanair taking off for Spain now.
