    This thread.
    It’s out of control.

    You implied it was a positive case. WhatsApp groups aren't a reputable source. This thread is evidence of that.

    Why post details about the patient at all if you were going to "change the details a bit". So you were lying then.

    I implied nothing. He/She sent messages THEMSELVES. You obviously only read one message between myself and CW1985 and came to a conclusion. An ignorant one at that Miss.

    I'm not lying it's near Carlow, go search for all the males/females around there as I changed the age.

    Get lost with your self righteous BS. Oh look at me I'm in the health service crap

    If the person has told half Laois/Carlow/Kilkenny it's not my fault. Go stick your considerable beak somewhere else.

    Based on this thread and their 'sources' I'd say it's closer to 50 billion.

    I'm no good at judging the size of crowds, Ted, but I'd say there's about seventeen million of them out there.

    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.

    I am from this town in south Galway. We have had 4 confirmed cases since Sunday. 3 of those cases (we think) seem to be included in today figures, the other 1 in yesterday’s. Lots of people being tested of the past few days.

    The GP is right, schools need to close in this area and all events cancelled.

    Do you think an outrage emoji or a picture like this might be even more effective?

    Couldn’t give a **** man. Been working in ED all weekend seeing sick patients with all sorts, ? Covid included. Appropriate presentations are being tested. Appropriate patients are being isolated. Post what you want here. I hope it makes you feel good about yourself. Well done. It’s people like you we need more of. A real selfless hero.

    Does anyone know why we don't add dye to our hand wash etc., a little like a plaque disclosing tablet?

    Surely it would be of benefit all the time now just now. I know it'll take for than that to curb this thing but so many people are really rubbish at washing their hands.

    I say block the ports and airports and leave those who went to Cheltham over there.

    We’d better block Cork off while we’re at it so, i don’t want it in Longford.

    Another competent update by tony holohan. In Tony we trust. Very clear and confident and it reassured me he knows his stuff. He seems very genuine.

    Plans are afoot to annex Cork and Clare and send them off into the Atlantic to sort themselves out.

    The rest of us will be grand.

    10 cases means we doubled in around 4 days, which is better than expected I think. At that rate we wouldn't peak until mid May (e.g. 500,000 cases by 4th May, so peak over the next weeks). Barring any control measures of course.

    There is still an overwhelming sense that this is happening somewhere else.

    The poster obviously means lockdown the country. Like what has been done in Italy.

    It’s really true, walking around town and in work and you wouldn’t expect there to be a health crisis looming.

    Even Dublin airport is fine, not a mask in sight.

    Well I did notice a tangible difference in how busy the dart was today. Lot of people staying at home by the looks of it

    Great news, at least on my side!

    Mother-in-law has decided not to come, and instead fly back to her homeland, Argentina, tomorrow. Best decision really instead of lumping about in Italy or ****ing our family over in Dublin. A huge sense of relief off my chest anyway.
