How is it a lockdown if people can still go to work ��

Depends which quarantine zone you are in and papers proving you're not sick.

Sir Oxman · 09-03-2020 10:08PM

Feel real sorry for Italy.
We just have to stop our move to that scenario.

briany · 09-03-2020 10:08PM

I think the overall message is that the economy must continue, even if loads of people get sick, and even if some of those people die. Good to know.

I’m gone to the stage where I can’t like a comment with bad news, even if it’s bang on.

The term lockdown is used very loosely by the media and people in here.

Some were claiming half of China was on lock down affecting 700 million + Chinese while the levels of measures taken were vastly different in different regions with only 2 smaller areas on what could be considered total lockdown.

The slower we can keep the rise the better.

Most of the cases here are not community spread... long may that last

It's remarkably similar to this

Jesus a full lockdown on Italy.

More and more airlines will pull out now.

Hopefully though this might start to stop the spread

A drastic a measure as it is, it should have been done from the start when cases kept jumping, there was a lot to be learned from the chinese there

This is exactly what has happened. The governments of Europe have prioritised the economy over people's lives.

Other countries would love to the have the access we do.

Guaranteed access one day a year.

This is another myth.

American presidents regularly meets foreign leaders all the time.

America is a diverse nation with numerous ethnic groups. America will regularly reflect on these traditions. St Patrick's is just one of them.

Every country in the EU should be closing it's borders for the next month.

Why ?

The virus is in every European Country now (first cases in Cyprus today).
3800 cases in Germany plus France plus Spain.

Instead, all Countries should implement social distancing, cancel conferences and sport events, home working

Well, after today I'm now worried.

No economy means no food no utilities no medicine.

If the government can afford to increase sickness pay, then they can afford to reverse the cuts to disability related payments

Sigh, there is no one recovered here, look up recovery times for this disease and do some research/have a think about things before coming up with this guff;)

Fair enough. Thanks for the info. Can I ask how you know all this?

The HSE are using the same crap list on their public facing pages
https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/advice-for-people-returning-from-affected-areas.html

It's a relief to hear that it's not being used internally, but how many cases have been missed because people read the criteria on the most important coronavirus related website in the country and think they don't fit the profile?

Keeping with the rules of this thread - I'm not going to tell you where I work or my credentials, areas of study or anything like that. I'm just another person posting online and you should take my posts with the same weight as anyone on here citing reputable sources

Also I'm just as baffled as to why the HSE webpage is so horrifically outdated at this point. I've actually flagged this with HSELive as this is the website being pushed by the HSE/DOH/MSM for key public information.

reporter asked whether anyone case was the origin for more then 1 other case, Chief Medical officer wouldn't answer.

He did answer. He said he wasn't going to say anything that would lead to a person or persons getting blamed for spreading the virus.

The reporter was fishing for a story , hoping to put the blame on one individual. It was a lousy question to ask.

I heard a man interviewed on the radio at about 5pm today . He was on one of the cruise ships , he tested positive and his wife tested negative and still is negative
He had mild symptoms , a cold and a cough , he said he was not really sick at all but needed three negative nose swabs before he was allowed out of quarantine . His wife went home to run the business and had some people avoid her etc
He feels well and has no symptoms now

Losing billions/trillions from global economies costs people their lives and livelihoods too.

If economies collapse you will starve. Countries will fall into chaos. Forget about trying to stop the virus. It will be game over

Is a run on the banks coming?

Sir Oxman · 09-03-2020 10:11PM

Italy whole country lockdown:
Signed now, in effect midnight.
"The decree provides for banning all public events, closing cinemas, theatres, gyms, discos and pubs, funerals, weddings and all sport events, including Serie A matches. All schools and universities will remain close until 3 April"
The restrictions will include banning all public gatherings and preventing all movement other than for work and emergencies. According to the Reuters news agency, he has said the decision was necessary to protect Italy’s most vulnerable citizens and that the right course of action now is for people to stay at home.

It's only temporary measure

political analyst · 09-03-2020 10:12PM

Obviously, democratic countries' measures for dealing with the virus are less restrictive than those measures taken in China. Did the Chinese government deliberately let the outbreak escalate into what is more than likely to be a pandemic? If the Western powers are destabilised ......

As I mentioned last night for up-to-date areas considered high risk areas or areas with sustained community transmission can be found via the WHO SitReps.

The ECDC has deferred to the WHO on this topic also because they are better placed to track this information

As it currently stands the HSE's list of affected areas is woefully outdated but it's also not the list the health service is taking direction from.

Also, I want to apologise for being narky in my previous post. I'm sincerely sorry. It's been quite a long day!

Ignore everything from those liars
