    3 new cases, seems to be fairly well contained here, nowhere near the number of most EU countries and the UK. Crises averted I think.
    I think those figures are bull****. By Friday we will get to see how really serious it is.

    People with colds won't get paid to stay in isolation for two weeks.

    Have you read the guidelines at all?

    If you have been told to self isolate by a GP you will get the sick pay

    It's a virus FFS. Just like the common cold there is no cure, only management of the symptoms. At least you've stocked up on the tin foil anyway.

    Enjoy all your thumbs up hope you get loads for it

    Also, no sign of 'casual' community transmission (the very thing that people fear).....each new case was associated with very close contact with a virus carrier

    It is very funny but people are so mean to the people they are with. The whole filming them and putting it up for everyone to gawp at. Mind you the guy would do great in comedy or acting, he has fluency and timing. Still, fecking cameras!

    So panic over in Ireland now. Great.

    No need to have cancelled the Parade either I suppose. Great.

    We are a nation of gullible fools who believe we are invincible and will not follow the trajectory of other countries in Europe.

    Well maybe we are blessed and fortunate, hope so!

    - Dis gubberment are a joke, they won't even cancel the parades.

    All parades cancelled.

    - Dis gubberment are a joke, they cancelled the parades. We are all doooooommmmmmeeeeddd!

    I read somewhere so take it with caution that Milan is the so called "centre of fashion". It appears to be run by Chinese, who import a lot of workers to work in the industry on low wages and conditions.

    They are sent back and forth for visa reasons or something.

    But no proof, and nothing in MSM but sounds like there could be something behind it too.

    Good piece in New YorKer couple of years ago,

    save the trouble and jazz it up


    Did Northern Ireland release their numbers yet? Then we get see how many we ACTUALLY have.

    Also 3 cases is a good sign! Actually kinda surprised considering I thought we would be starting to climb like literally every country around us.

    However, maybe this is liulling us into a false sense of security that we only get 2-3 cases a day? Who knows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 739 ✭✭✭flynnlives


    3 new cases is great.

    Our real worry however is the UK. What happens there i suspect will dictate our outbreak.
    When they move to phase two thats a bad sign for us.

    Also Trump has ****ed the US, virtually ensuring that this now becomes a pandemic.

    Two of the cases yesterday were community transmission with no known vector.

    Someone I know in the US on the West Coast has been diagnosed with the virus. Picked it up from travelling. Age profile is less than 40 and she’s the type of person who picks up ever bug that goes around.

    She is doing well though. No hospitalisation required at present. Was told to isolate at home etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,355 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Some real scummy price gouging going on. Hickeys Pharmacy are charging €150 for a small pack of face masks that would usually cost less than a tenner.

    The UK will soon make this very move!

    I don't understand the logic - some people seem genuinely disappointed by the low figure of new cases tonight.

    Yeah it’s strange to say the least, only new 3 cases confirmed today, that’s a fact, any other predictions are hearsay

    UK growth was actually very modest today. If it could stay at this rate for another week or two, the powers that be would be very relieved (for now).

    The reason why it's only 3 cases is probably down to the HSE's strict testing criteria

    If you ring them because you have all the symptoms, they won't test you unless you've been to one of the following areas recently:

    China
    Hong Kong
    Iran
    the following regions in Italy - Lombardy, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont
    Japan
    Singapore
    Republic of Korea (South Korea)

    https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/affectedareas/

    That list is hopelessly out of date. We're in big trouble.

    It was always ridiculous. It's a virus that can spread from person to person. Someone could get off a flight from Milan and be sitting next to any of us on the DART an hour later.
    People with colds won't get paid to stay in isolation for two weeks.

    Have you read the guidelines at all?

    Have you ever used your brain at all?

    There are plenty of people who can work from home. We're software engineers. Most people already work from home at least one day a week for no reason other than they feel like it. Everyone has everything they need on the laptop they take home with them every day, and their work phone. Absolutely no need for people to be coming in sick when working from home is totally possible, and employers need to get their heads around that instead of sticking doggedly to the idea that people have to be in the office to be productive.

    Wasn't the outbreak traced back to an individual from Germany?

    See above. It's 2020. Plenty of people in office jobs can do their jobs perfectly from home. There is NO benefit to forcing people into work if they don't have to be there.

    Should the government be advising people not to travel to parts of Spain as they are telling people not to travel to northern Italy?

    France and Germany have clusters.

    Hi, guys, . Hopefully I won’t need to make new thread for this question, but maybe moderator will advise otherwise. I was wondering if community will compare my stack , as advice was given to stock on beans, canned goods, reason being: the coronvirus. So far I have five of kidneys, five of black eyed, five of cannellinis, five of favas. Brand of black eye beans is Batchelor's, brand of Kidneys is Bunalun (organis) , brand of cannelini is Bunalun (organis), brand of Fava is Sofra (I think Turkish)
    Obviously this is tip of the iceberg, I’m yet to do my major shopping, but rationale is that black eyed beans, fava beans, butter beans, kidney beans, these items, and more, will provide folata, antioxidants, protein, and alsofibres, also long shelf life, filling for stomach, and will not interfere with testosterone. I’m eating 30 raw egg yolks a week, with coconut oil ( currently on the hunt for unpasteurised milk, unpasteurised cheese , unpasteurised butter, please inform) so you can see I am somewhat of a health freak, but providing for the apocalypse is not something I thought of before lol! One funny thing today I went to Garda station to inquire about best procedures , and noticed overwhelming quantity of babes waiting in the lobby, for passports, for food stamps, who knows, but these women are very attractive, plenty brown, plenty black, some japs, honestly I stayed a while outside to see these beauties, and more, exit the building, a little cheeky maybe, actually I realised that I always see these babes wandering in and out from morning to mid day from thepolice station and to be honest, yes I

    plan on tinned mackerel, tinned salmon, grass fed butter, , brown rice, basmati rice, pudding rice, Rye bread, confitures coffee beans wet wipes, toilet rolls, kitchen paper, detergent, some magazines, paper,postage stamps, nutritional yeast,

    With a diet like that I'd definitely be stocking up on the Jack's roll...

    I'd imagine that Global stocks of facemasks are extremely low or non-existent, so the price of them is through the roof.. I don't imagine that any retailers are dipping into a warehouse full of stock...

    I hope you have realised that my post was tongue in cheek.

    Look, I hope as much as anyone else that lil ole Ireland will buck the trend and hopefully we will.

    Not time to become complacent either though. That could be quite dangerous really in the long run.
