Why would they want to go back to Italy.

Because they have things like their families, houses and jobs there?

BS. Search for Cuckoo 7 just one example.

I apologised for it, I should have known better than to mention them.
Yes, that’s on me.
But I did apologise and deleted the posts and if you want you can read all my other posts and see I’m not a scaremonger.

Well how would boards know if your supplier doesn't know

How would anyone know anything on this thread? I'm not the only person asking questions, stop answering them as if I'm stupid or everyone else is dumber than you. This is, you know, unprecendented...why do you think creches would know where the onus lies on who pays during closure for a pandemic? Take it easy.

Is anyone else skeptical of the official numbers here? I've heard some very credible reports locally of people who have travelled to Italy and are showing symptoms and have been advised by the HSE to self isolate, but have not been tested. Why would the HSE not be testing people like this?

Italy is testing more people than any other country in Europe and is second only to S. Korea worldwide

I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't hundreds such cases. Numerous flights in and out of the region and no isolation after they came home.

Predictable to say the least.

I agree, I just don't get why the HSE would be trying to keep it under wraps - an outbreak is inevitable and they'll have to admit it eventually. I think there's a false sense of security that it hasn't been announced in your region yet when it probably is there.

I know the situation is dire but I feel a lot more relaxed that it's starting to set in for more people how serious this is. My parents have decided to self isolate and stock up on some non perishables. Ignoring reality is just a much more stressful place to be in imo.

How is Clare anyway..... worried or all ok there.

We're ok thanks for now, although I am quite nomadic and live alone and that's not to say I won't catch it, but I am being cautious.
I haven't been in Ennistymon or Lahinch since the outbreak.
Although I could do with a surf.

Supposedly a lot of people who were at the blind guy yacht club thingy in Glor got letters to isolate.
Thankfully its not my thing to be listening to a crock of Sh1t of pseudo science and new age woo etc
And my friends are ok too.

Due to go to Berlin in 10 days. Flights paid. AirBnB paid.

Yes I think there is more confirmed cases than being revealed by the HSE and Dept of Health

It took me all of 4 seconds to do a search and counter with a link to the scaremongering you posted. There is people reading these threads who yes need to be informed and advised on what to do they certainly don't need some clueless individuals ramping up the fear levels.

My child said that the teacher told them today they might well be working from home next week.

Sounds like wishful thinking from the teacher, and he/she should really keep their mouths shut about this stuff around kids.

Only you can make that call.

You'll get differing answers on here.

Meanwhile, my COPD-diagnosed mother and her almost-80-year-old immunocompromised girlfriend are off to an indoor concert tonight. With 2000 randoms.

I've a suspicious feeling that there's a few HSE trools and health professionals in our midst.

You can be sure they are, Irish Examiner debunked the 'rumours' of school closures, which they claimed were posted on "an internet forum". We're probably all going to get put on some sort of watchlist if the virus doesn't entirely reshape the sociopolitical landscape. There are definitely a lot of sh!tposters clogging up the thread with very transparent attempts to drag people into inane arguments, new ones cropping up all the time with low postcounts.

I'm just waiting for "this thread is the subject of an ongoing legal investigation".

Vudgie · 10-03-2020 05:48PM

Cancelled a trip to Belgium next week...obviously contracting the virus is a major worry but so is getting quarantined in a hotel for 2 or 3 weeks if there was an outbreak.

9 cases there and less than 30 here though. Obviously i wouldn't be going to Italy or France. HSE have no advice to cancel trips to Hungary.

You probably won’t have the option. Cancel your accommodation if you can, you can always rebook it.
