1.8m population in N.I - 16 confirmed cases

4.8m population in Ireland - 24 confirmed cases.

Are we that good at preventive measures, or N.I that bad?
Figures not adding up and considering there is cases that havent been confirmed in official figures I dont see the reason why we're being drop fed information all the time

Considering that the HSE allowed a doctor to go to work because he wasn't suffering symptoms (they should know that viruses has a period where you don't have symptoms). We're very much not good at preventive measures.

If you go to Minsk, go in Spring, it's lovely there.

Authorities advise people to stay 1-2 metres apart, but researchers found that a bus passenger infected fellow travellers sitting 4.5 metres away
The scientists behind the research said their investigation also highlighted the importance of wearing face masks because of the length of time it can linger

This is going to hit different countries and areas within countries differently. You can't really compare like for like.

I'd presume it's because it's difficult to test everyone?
They'd have to send paramedics to your house in hazmat suits to test you, and can't do it for everyone so probably are just doing it for those with symptoms.

They should really have drive-in testing like they have in South Korea.

Or even like the one setup in Antrim a week ago.

ax530 · 10-03-2020 05:57PM

presume the gym notice would have been as a result of contact tracing so their positive test would have been a day or so prior to notice.

Are you looking for an excuse not to go?
Do you like them?

It being Fine Gael, if the schools are closing it will be leaked to the Irish or Sunday Independent a day or two before its officially announced.

But the thing with the bus is that they assume they didn’t cross paths getting in or out, they didn’t touchthe same handrails...
Is like they only take into account from the moment both were sitting at their seats.

My daughter was told today they might not be back to school after friday and work would be emailed to them. So I think the schools know they are closing

I am a teacher . I have to make arrangements for my exam classes just in case we are closed so that they can work from home. It does not mean we are closing or that we know anything that others don’t know.

This is true, and also with such small numbers and natural variability, it's hard to infer any pattern.

It will be more helpful to look at trends over numbers.

Some positive news elsewhere. The B.B.C. are reporting that a second patient has been cured of H.I.V.

IT is linked to stem cell treatment he had whilst he had cancer.

dobby896 · 10-03-2020 06:01PM

Due to go to Stockholm on Friday for the weekend.

Would you go?

I'd imagine it's just one of those contingency plans that is being discussed at Cabinet level.

If he wasn't coughing the virus had no real "vehicle" hopefully. Should have been quarantined for sure though.

igCorcaigh · 10-03-2020 06:05PM

First case in Congo.
100 cases across Africa now, mostly Egypt and Algeria.

I'm hoping that the slow uptick is due to climate, but I'm thinking it just might be due to less travel perhaps? That would be bad.
