This stuff annoys the sh*te out of me.

So this person was only tested this morning, had a positive result by lunchtime and you're broadcasting it on boards? Along with details that may identify him.

If we were taking our number of cases from reports from Boards we'd be up on about 500. But there isn't. Because people lie, they fabricate. They hear a half truth and run with it, causing panic.

I work in a hospital and im appalled that so called "hospital workers" are spreading rumours and details of cases to their family and friends.

If you're a healthcare worker, then the care and confidentiality of the patient comes first, always.

Calm down. They don't have a result yet, where did I say that? I was responding to CW1985. They've told family, friends and it's common knowledge. They WhatsApped it to 2 groups.

Also before your little bout of hysteria did it occur to you I might have changed details a little?

That’s the first double value

No community transmission cases. All either close contact or travel.

I see so much people going around the place and have no problem touching their face. If you have an itch on your face, ignore it, it actually goes away on its own.

what if everyone wore a handkerchief mask all day every day? disinfect them twice a day. that's gonna stop a hell of a lot of droplets.

it's cheap and every country in the world can do it.

I believe for masks to be of any protection they need some filter in them?
It may make you feel safer covering your mouth and nose with a scarf but I don’t think it’s an effective barrier.

if every single person in a country wore masks at all times wouldn't this have a dramatic impact on new cases. not protecting people - but massively reducing infected spreading??

It wouldn't,but it might act as a placebo to the easily frightened.

10 is big for a small country.

You have to be actively be thinking about it, the moment you relax...

The man is so calm and clear in his communication.

yasmina · 10-03-2020 07:26PM

I'm hearing (on twitter, from a local GP) that there are 5 cases in South Galway. He's begging the Govt to close schools in the area.
I can't understand how a GP would put this out there unless he has some evidence?
The numbers being reported don't add up. OK, maybe he's counting some of the Clare cases as it's close, but still.
It's the non-transparency that's infuriating.

pjohnson · 10-03-2020 07:26PM

10 Cases.

Amazingly the HSE plan of pretend its not there and hope it goes away has failed spectacularly.

If she sneezed would it not contain and shorten the travel of any thing expelled from her mouth and nose?

My youngest daughter goes to a university in Washington, DC, USA. She’s home for spring break and was just notified via email from the university that because of coronavirus they're shifting to online classes for three weeks after the spring break ends. They said go home if you’re at school and stay home if you’re already home. Will have to make the 8 hour round trip on Sunday to retrieve her books, things needed for classes, and clothing.

It is better than nothing but most of all if you sneeze or cough, you will limit the spread.

That's either great news, that it's not really out in the community. Or it's not being reported because community transmission isn't being tested as it falls outside testing criteria, and it's gonna explode soon.

Really really hope it's the former

Those wanting to be impressed solely by numbers based on nothing but feelings...

No. Not the case. Being seen to be proactive and tackling it head on is what should be impressive and the objective of the HSE.

Part of that is more testing. Identifying cases . Which in turn leads to more preventive measure . Sure why dont we just test 10 people a day , by your logic numbers mean nothing.

s7ryf3925pivug · 10-03-2020 07:27PM

10 new today

ACitizenErased · 10-03-2020 07:27PM

3 of the cases in the south self-isolated as soon as they arrived back into the country. Heard that today from employees at the companys.
