    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.

    There only seem to be 2 reported in the West today - one male, one female and there was 1 female yesterday also. Are you telling me all these cases (and another one) are from the one small town?

    It's madness keeping the schools open.

    Are you seriously goading someone working on the front line of this? Get over yourself.

    No I really believe the HSE have been way too strict in their testing criteria.

    That poster seems to think myself and others are enjoying this by expressing OUTRAGE.

    We still have flights coming in from Italy today I think this is some scary sh*t.

    Do not let my sense of humour fool you.:(

    Complete horse****. Well done. I hope you and Cinemaguy enjoy your posts. Disgrace.

    Look at our number of tests compared to Uk and how we ramped up. Keyboard warriors. The worst.

    I don't doubt that frontline staff are working their arses off, but it would have been nice if the HSE had done anything to stop there being community spread cases in the first place.

    I could tell you who was infected. It wasn't rocket science. It was people coming back from Italy. I said it two weeks ago. The HSE was retarded (in both senses of the word) two weeks ago, them getting around to doing mass testing now doesn't change that fact.

    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.

    RTE said tonight about 1700 or so tests done which is not that many. There will be the tests done after the doc in the hospital, they would be testing staff (roughly 175 in iso), patients and their families, those that have come back from Italy and of course the chap in Cork who was release and then came back in.

    Then there is the 3 or so day wait for the test.

    Yeah, I love throwing stones. It's my only vice. I got thrown out of my squat in the Botanical Gardens for it though. Not sure if it was related
    Maybe it's because of my other vice, lying. I'll never know.

    Gym is full and the shops are full of food. Nobody gives a **** in the real world, I dont know should i be panicked or relieved by that.

    I am stocking up slowly but surely on stuff in case of worst case scenario. Ideally it all blows over and I can use the stuff over next few months, however my biggest fear is catching it and having **** all in the gaff.

    Its possible people might be doing the same.

    I do think their is people who are taking care of themselves and going about their day as usual. Its no worse doing that than spending your day online secretly hoping for an outbreak.

    I Know a woman who was seriously worried about the prospect of not been able to visit her elderly father in a home. Her attitude was if this virus takes him so be it, something will. But the idea of not been able to visit was more heartbreaking.

    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.

    Two weeks is never happening. Once they close, they close. This is my seventh or maybe eight week not teaching, and it just picked up where I am in the last few days so I'm writing off the entire term.

    I reckon anyway.

    They shouldn't have needed to be told not to go there FFS. With the exception if they had to do so for work of course (because they might have been in danger of losing their jobs if they refused to go). Most people were just fecking around on skiing trips though!

    In all fairness, we should take them back, even if they are feckless idiots. Just put them in quarantine, like everyone who was coming from Italy should have gone into in the first frigging place.

    Average of 198 tests per day based on 7 day week.

    Last week average just under 44 per day.

    That's more than have been done in the entire eastern seaboard of the United States.

    And the turnaround time for the test is under 12 hours. NOT 3 days as fools on Fakebook will tell you.

    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.

    Officially no we don`t.

    She can't visit him if he is dead, no one can visit anyone if she brings the virus in with her and kills everyone in the ward.

    Where are posters getting 500k cases by early May? Would it not be end April with those projections and no control measures?

    If we say cases double every 3.5 days that's quadrupling every week

    So 34 now
    March 17 136
    March 24 544
    March 31 2176
    April 7 8704
    April 14 34816
    April 21 139264
    April 28 557056

    That would be 100k people by end April that would need hospital care potentially

    With a uni closure, there'd be mass movement of people to areas around the country you'd think to go back to their families, part time jobs etc.

    Could be a whole other headache to avoid

    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?

    Chief Medical Officer! You don't need to be a medic or in the HSE to know that one. It's been used in TV and print news reports constantly.

    But that’s a pretty selfish attitude because that may be true for her, maybe even for her father. But what about the rest of the people at that home? Do they have to risk it so she doesn’t get her heart broken?

    Yes because we only have a corrupt elite in power and the health service exists as a dumping ground for those failed careers of Fianna Fail cronies. This will be the biggest killer on the island since the Great Famine.


    All air travel in and out should have been halted three weeks ago. I know I will probably survive this as I am now in South America, it is my parents whom I am worried about as both have underlying risk.



    This will become a defining moment in our annals.

    Know reports from very reliable people on twitter not FB who said they know someone waiting 3+ days for result.
    I'd believe them before someone just saying ah facebook...
