    UK & Ireland, Covid cases to date ......

    Tuesday 10th March update.

    UK/ NHS figures = 382.
    Ireland/ HSE figure = 34.

    Roughly the same when population is taken into account.

    I see Scotland is at about the same level as the Republic btw.

    Went to the supermarket today and a massive display on pallets as I go in the door of baked beans, toilet roll and water bottles. I guess you'd need the rolls after the beans.

    Has to be a serious case to me made for not leaving the morons who went to Cheltenham back into the country? Let them be rounded up and quarantined in a tent city in the middle of the racecourse , no loss. Insanely selfish on the part of the punters and pure greed from the organisers.
    How would you "catch" them? Stop all travel from the UK into Ireland? Build a wall between the ROI and NI?

    Actually lads, when you think about it maybe we should be pm-ing each other to avoid gathering in large groups

    Not necessarily; if you impose draconian measures that are not capable of being sustained over a long period, and then those measures are stopped, or more likely ignored, all you do is push the epidemic curve back a few weeks. The ‘second’ curve hits when you have an economy in a worse state and a populus unwilling to comply.

    That would be far far worse.

    It’s not surprising that the medics advocating the early lockdown approach are clinicians and not public health doctors.

    no use having a functioning economy when the rest of the world is shutting down and you have no one to trade with. Take the hit now and shut down. You`ll come out of it sooner and the show will get back on the road.

    Its simply doing the right thing.

    Don't PM me please. I'm suffering from information overload. Some academics saying it could be seasonal others saying it will last from between 18 months to 3 years.

    I’m in the (un)fortunate position of having been made redundant so work isn’t an issue at this point
    Well stocked food wise and putting together a daily plan/routine

    My mental health isn’t 100% and I need to ensure I’m there for the family and also that the kids keep up with their school work.

    Well make sure you mind yourself and stay in contact with other family etc . Could become a bit stressful all under one roof

    It worked for the Chinese. The Italians are doing it. We will have to so it.
    Most people will voluntarily isolate. The usual clowns who like to go skiing in a red zone probably won't. Lock them up for 3 months I say. Like I said, not a game. Health of the majority is far more important than a minority who get bored by isolation.

    We will soon surpass the daily new cases of China. But sure lets just ignore what they did.
    Twill be grand.

    The Italians will never enforce it the same way the Chinese did. The only way to do it is to implement curfews and Martial Law. Can't see that happening in Europe at this stage.

    China is a totalitarian, Communist state with a large military and armed police force and a populous that believes the bolloxology spouted by Mao that the CCP have been divinely ordained to lead China to glory.

    They are far more pliant than us freedom loving westerners.

    You try and implement a lockdown here and you'll get more than a few heads, ,including hard chaws posting on these threads, breaking it to go meet their mates for a "bit of gargle."

    Can someone who got the pm just post it on the thread?

    He just said to expect more cases and school closures. Apparently brother in HSE. My brother is also in HSE and he said that there is nothing to suggest school closures tomorrow from his end at this point.

    But can I just add that numbers in the special school where I work were extremely low today with the majority of staff already absent, more coughing conspicuously and students hugely at risk. This exercise in transmitting the virus all over Cork is distressing to health experts here, as evidenced by this Prime Time piece with Paul O'Brien.

    If you ‘shut down’ too early, it could be worse; that’s the point cillian de gascun is making on tv3 right now.

    It sounds intuitive to say ‘shut down now, get it over with’; I get you. But it is not that simple when you are dealing with human behaviour sadly.

    I know this is a thread of random boardsies, and I'm already tired of people on Twitter asking about things that only affect them, because I think it's selfish, but hey, it's not like I'm stockpiling all the loo roll for just myself, so here goes...

    If someone was in a position where they could buy a property in the next couple of months, would the coronavirus outbreak be cause for delay?

    I guess the answer is, no one knows at this stage.

    However, does it seem like recession is all but guaranteed? Is that even going to matter much in Ireland, when the housing situation is so dire?

    Problem is even if we do the best job on earth in controlling it all the good work will then be undone by a bellend/bellendette travelling in to the country from an affected country. Will need screening at the airports and no flights at all from cities where more than x percent is infected.
