    I really hope i'm wrong, I'm no expert and most of the people in this thread aren't either.

    There is no point bringing up pandemic figures that have ceased, when this one is barely getting started. In other words, it's not nearly over yet, unfortunately.

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.

    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!

    HSE - no action if no symptoms. Not stopping anyone coming into the country etc etc, already knew this.
    Ryanair not cancelling her flight
    HR tells me to contact them again on Weds, notify manager, self-isolate for 2 weeks....

    So she arrives, has the time of her life with my high-risk wife and my daughter, while I'm supposed to self-isolate for 2 weeks.

    Tell her not to come, I would if I was in this situation. You do have some control over this situation.

    If the figures are bull**** wouldn't they still be bull**** on Friday?

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

    Well By Friday they will have increased by a greater number and may still be bull****e because we don't know how many people are being tested and because we don't know how many people are in self-isolation. I am not genuinely disappointed by the low figures, I am shocked that we are believing the HSE controlled narrative. One of the cases flew from Africa into Europe and then on to here and they won't say which countries in Africa and Europe are involved.

    I do think - at least in my case - that it's more surprise than anything else. Everything I've read suggests that the virus increases rapidly at some particular point, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet. The rate of increase - while obviously horrific for those infected - is great news for everyone else, but it seems to be that we're bucking the trend, but little explanation as to why this is.

    1. Wait about 4 weeks til full panic has set in.
    2. Invite 'babes' over to yours for a nice heathly homecooked meal from your well stocked kitchen.
    3. Profit.

    Should the government be advising people not to travel to parts of Spain as they are telling people not to travel to northern Italy?
    I doubt that the EU governments will do it now.
    It seems that for France and Germany keeping the economy going is the priority.
    There is reluctance in testing and in introducing social distancing measures such as cancelling events.

    FYI map of cases in Spain: https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20200309/mapa-del-coronavirus-espana/2004681.shtml

    No doctor worth his or her salt will tell anyone to self isolate because of a cold!

    Cold symptoms and this virus' symptoms are similar/overlap so if they won't test more people why wouldn't a doctor tell someone to self isolate?

    Someone yesterday here did not meet the criteria for testing but was told by his doctor to self isolate.

    Seems like Ireland may have escaped the growth most other European countries are experiencing, at least a 25-50% increase in daily cases

    At this point in the curve maybe. Like so many other places that had the same numbers early on like us, but are now dealing with hundreds of cases.

    But this is Ireland. We don't do pandemics, we are blessed. Hopefully. And I mean that, it will be fantastic for our tourism, trade, economy, ordinary life if we buck the trend.

    "Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says even if our health service was twice the size it is, "we would struggle". He said the Government is identifying ways to increase capacity in the health service"

    I get the impression Leo is trying to downplay what is coming, corona virus will really expose our health system for what's it become under his government


    If the coronavirus develops in any way like predicted any health system will struggle severely. If you watch the UK press conference you will will find the same. The NHS will struggle.
    The Scottish Chief Medical Officer has appparently calculated that up to 4% of the population may require hospital treatment (more severe cases). Extrapolating that to Ireland would mean about 200,000 people (maths?). That is addition to those more mildly affected in the community. Of course the system will really struggle if that comes to pass. And so will other European countries.



    If the broader point is that the current health care system needs major reform, then I agree. But it is a differnt point.

    With the ever increasing demand on hospital services we need a fair system to prioritise patients. Patients should be classified by taxes paid. The higher tax paid should move you straight to the front, cull the great unwashed and millennial's.

    But hopefully we are. Early days yet.
