I’d love to know why.

If it’s “well they are islands” why do Iceland have a disproportionately higher amount infected? (Mind your only 2 new cases today)

I’d be interested to know how many people come in and out of Ireland daily to a comparable country in mainland Europe.

Social distancing is bred into us?

Where are people getting the information that says children can not get CoVid 19? I have googled it and no where can I find that?

They can.

There has been no reported deaths under the age of 9.

So far today....

UK seem to release figures a couple of times a day.

No they release figures at 2pm each day, Ireland use to be half 8 and its 6 now I think.

I am literally 2 minutes away from a creche that was closed yesterday because a worker's mother is a suspected case. My kids go to school with students that go to the afterschool of said creche. Too close to home (literally) now!

What compass direction are you at?

If the virus reaches it potential worst levels of infections, the most vulnerable are still the older population with compromised health.
We need perspective here, we cannot shut down the country to protect the minority who don’t contribute at present.
Shutting down parades will do little to stop this.
The vulnerable need to be isolated, not kids and healthy adults.

You know capitalism has gone too far when the elderly, the sick and those outside of employment are being described as an expendable burden to society.

Didnt Nostrodamus also say the world was going to end in 1999 It seems for every event Nostrodamus has a 'preducion'. His ramblings are like those ridiculous horoscopes, you read into them what you want, ie its all BS.

He also said thered be a dark cloud over europe when Liverpool finally won the League

Yes because of all the big social gatherings with 100k+ people in attendance that have been held in the last week or two.

Exactly, if the paddys day parade was cancelled two weeks ago when everyone said it should of being we would probly not have any cases here now.

Well yesterday evening the UK figure went up/more cases were confirmed around 9.45pm.

Again, that's no longer 100% certain - one death yesterday in Italy in the age group 0-49. There was an infant in ICU in Lombardy with previous conditions, nothing to say it was or wasn't her.

No one is saying they can't get it, but they seem to be less prone to getting it, get less severe symptoms, and not a single child under 10 has died

I know we are sort of using the flu as a benchmark in certain circumstances to compare but is this not slightly different in the aspect of spread? Is the idea that this might blow itself born on the summer and whereby some people have an immunity to certain flues (whereas nobody has an immunity to this)?

I’m a layman so not arguing, just asking....

I'm no medical expert but I was reading that viruses need a whole load of things to go in their favour before they can infect large numbers of people and to continue to infect new people.

If anything starts to interfere with the transmission such as lack of suitable hosts for infection, people's immune systems kicking in, change in air temperature etc. the virus begins to run into trouble and to run out of people to infect (and the more this happens, the more the risk of transmission from person to person falls).

They do get it. Thankfully just no confirmed fatalities for children 9 and under.

46 new cases in the UK today, the numbers are not rising as quick in the UK or Ireland as they have been in Italy, Spain, France, Germany etc

If you look back at the UK, Germany, Italy, etc, and when they first confirmed a case. That number stayed low and the same for a period of time. Then the numbers just took off after that.

I know some have hinted that Coronavirus was released by Gargamel but as far as we know not one Smurf has been infected to date. I see no problem with this smurf gathering, a smurfs gotta smurf.

How long until rioting and martial law in a European country?

At last, an honest opinion.

The HSE and government must be run by lads like you.

This is why containment has failed, and why we now have a pandemic, because of the greed of individuals who couldn't stomach two weeks impact on the economy. Because of the lacklustre efforts, due to economic utilitarianism, we now have a disease that could have been halted in its tracks that will be around for months, if not years to come.

Don't isolate disease carriers: isolate the people over 60, the people with cardiovascular complains, the asthma sufferers, people with diabetes, people who have recovered from cancer, people with cystic fibrosis, and so on. They don't contribute anything anyway. Let the virus run rampant, it will only kill about 0.2% of the productive people. Go on skiing holidays, why not.

You could be on to something there. Definitely not spreading as quickly here or in the UK as mainland Europe, I wonder if it's been kept at bay and people are self-isolating here more so.

The stares ya get in the office at the slightest hint of a cough or a sniffle! Death stares.

They're in isolation with fresh oil and coolant on 24hour circulation, hoping they pull through.
