That's exactly what happened in Macau and Taiwan.

Macau had 10 cases and everything was closed for a few weeks. Masks are mandatory on public transport and in casinos. They are provided at cost by the Government. No new case for 35 days!

Taiwan took similar steps promptly and also stopped visitors from China. The number of cases to date, since late January, is about 45.

First hand report by Kathryn Whitfield of the Guardian:
"Taipei seems to have the virus in hand. Now I worry about returning to the UK "

How much a ticket to Macau?:D

If it's one of the 10 cases today then he's a contact.

But Twitter is no more reliable than Facebook.

Social media is just people like yourself or myself talking. We might be telling the truth but we might as often not. Twitter is probably worse for bullshít as there's more 'anonymous' accounts knocking around.

Really?

Are we in Ireland supposed to be following WHO guidelines? I see they have a document about getting your workplace COVID19 ready. It states that anyone with a cough or mild fever should be told to stay at home. Or anyone who has needed to take paracetamol or ibuprofen as they mask symptoms. This is obviously not happening here. So do the WHO guidelines not apply to Ireland? Does the HSE not think this is necessary for Ireland?

Can people please stop coughing into their hand? It's not helping me here. Cough into your elbow, not that hard.

That’s the first step, give them a couple of pandemics and they’ll do it right.

Italy death rate has jumped from 168 to 631. They're a lot of teachers around the country who are not young and will have harder time if they get it.

I don't believe for a minute the virus is not spreading.The disease coming in from Italy, the deadly strain of the coronavirus is here. Best to contain now before its too late. We seem to just waiting till more people get before we react.

Everything in Ireland is a joke so why not have a good laugh.

fritzelly · 10-03-2020 08:21PM

Are the HSE releasing any ages of the cases or is it solely sex and somewhere in Ireland?

Sex is irrelevant except to the individuals concerned, what we should be getting are the cities/nearest large towns where cases are detected..

Have to say The Guardian website and app is superb on this - brilliant live updates for UK and internationally, and lots of articles and stats around CV as a whole. If I need the essential info it's my first stop (with Boards a close second obviously)

Where I work that's been the protocol for three weeks

Cough, or even a head cold and it's off working from home for two weeks you go

May I ask is it a big company?

Stewball · 10-03-2020 08:25PM

I seen someone earlier coughing into their jumper - they lifted up the neckline above their nose and then coughed.

I thought that was a good way of doing it - but is it good?

With good hygiene and no symptoms she should be able to visit her father. This virus could be with us for months/years. I don't why we have the idea that everything will be fine in a few weeks.
This might be something we have to manage long term.

Yeah, the attitude of I'm visiting my father even if it kills him is the worrying part for me.

The guy in the bed beside her father who is only in for a bit of respite and intends getting out soon, may not see it the same way, nor would his family.

This thing got into a hospice in Italy last week, it was outright carnage in mere days.

Yes

Over 150000 employees with a large presence in Asia

We had a global travel ban imposed in January for example

My place too, and others I know of.

People don't see these implemented wherever they are and assume it's not happening anywhere in Ireland.

How dumb an opinion to form.

Lucky ye...

Not very many companies who would be so accommodating to employees complaining of a cough or head cold. Half my office would have been self isolating the past few weeks if that was the case!

Then again, we don't have the option to work from home either.

There was one confirmed case in Dundalk today. Does that fall under North or East?
