    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.

    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.

    Does anyone know if each person is tested just the once, or do they repeat tests on suspected cases after a few days?

    Wow, their population is similar to ours.

    Yeah but they're a peninsula!
    With a large dispersed rural population with only a few major urban centres and population primarily in the 3 largest cities.

    And sure they even have a bridge to Sweden ;)
    BoJo hasn't snared our lovely isle with a bridge yet!

    We are totally different to Denmark and all those other Europeans ;)

    Bit unnecessary tbh considering most cases aren't coming from outside Ireland, they're already in Ireland.

    Nothing to do with the coronavirus, we'll just be better with those people never coming back.

    The CMO says no at present, but has left it open as to whether it will be necessary but definitely not yet.


    What’s the CMO? You seem to have good knowledge of departmental acronyms and seem to favour everything they’ve done to date.

    I wonder......

    What are the department’s,.. sorry I mean your views on community transmission testing?

    So, say somebody travelling back from not Italy, starts showing symptoms.
    If they ring and lie and say they travelled from a hot spot, would they get tested then?
    Then if positive, reveal they were in France, Germany etc... Would that open the gates to start testing for those regions?

    Do we have a county by county breakdown on figures? I heard of a case in Ballyvourney Co. Cork yesterday! Even the Chinese who were criticized gave us a breakdown by prefecture of cases. With 50 cases on the island, we should be getting the information of where the infected are, was it local transmission or imported from abroad etc. Italy has higher death figures per day than China now, Ireland will be Italy within 2 weeks.

    It's actually not at all high for the size of the country.

    I was expecting it higher , if we can cases low , will help buy more time and stagger hospitisations as best we can so resources can be spread to those who need them most.

    Are any countries doing what China ended up doing and adding numbers for people who hadn't been tested, but matched the symptoms? Clinical diagnosis I think it was called.

    Was talking to someone in China today, in Dalian. They expect to get out and about in a week or two with total free movement from the 26 March with all shops and businesses open.

    If you now arrive in china by air you are greeted onboard by temperature testers, those that are found to have a high temperature or symptoms are carted off to a facility to be tested and locked up with all the rest of the potential spreaders until you are cleared, if you test positive you are straight to the hospital. If you arrive and have no temperature then its off to a hotel where you will be confined on your own for 14 days. They don't mess around.

    Even though we have low case numbers, I think a two week university and schools closure is needed. Stop a spread before it possibly happens.
