    Trumps breathing always sounds weird tbh. Too much coke in the 80's.

    It's like he cant breathe through his nose.

    Anyway, I think the right thing is to suspend travel to europe (not sure why the UK is excluded though) Isnt that what people on here want Ireland to do? Also good that insurance payments will be waived. I think it should go further though and close schools

    He's doing what we have wanted Ireland to do, ban flights into Ireland from Europe,

    It's deeply controversial....neighbouring states to Italy haven't banned travel coming from there

    Okay, since I didn't actually quote any death rates of either flu or CV, I can only take it that my intimation of 'the true death rate would be much higher' is the issue, but you would allow it as 'the true death rate would be higher'? If that's the case, then you're really just talking semantics and personal interpretation, which is not a valid reason to put down the highlighting of the annual vaccine's effectiveness.

    And I said the CFR will only be marginally higher - nowhere near to the CFR of coronavirus even if there was no flu vaccine, so there's some semantics

    Regardless of the virus outcome now, the economic impact of this will be felt for the rest of this decade.

    I'm in the States now, due to return to Ireland on 22nd. I wonder will the EU retaliate.

    Airlines will not fly a plane to europe and not have passengers flying back it makes no economic sense

    I think Mike Pence has convinced him it's contagious so he doesn't want to catch it from Leo. Unfortunately he still still think the virus is nothing to worry about.... It's Leo's gayness he is afraid of

    How is that the HSE’s fault? I’m sure they quizzed him thoroughly but there could be gaps in his own knowledge that the HSE can’t fill in. Like, he may have had contact with somebody who was in an affected region and not realised it. The HSE are trying to trace where people picked it up but that depends a lot on the infected person giving them enough information which they might not have.

    The poster you quoted said they were confident contact tracing worked and the HSE did a good job at that.

    I'm not going to bang on about it. The HSE have made mistakes, their advice has large gaps in it. They can still rescue the situation. They need more resources, particularly on the frontline.

    infairness how can you " contain" anything with plane loads of people going all over the place, its either stop the travel, or stop pretending to be in this "containment phase"

    Hopefully this will also have a knock on effect on the already strained health services. But maybe I'm missing something?

    What you're missing (or will be missing) is the large number of parents that won't show up to work and will prefer to stay home with their children due to risk, childcare arrangements etc.

    Many of whom work in that strained health service.

    The DOH know this so won't put the schools on a blanket closure unless absolutely necessary.

    And that's just front line workers, we don't need manufacturing, supply and transport of necessary items to cease because people decide to stay at home unless there is no other choice.

    i think the no1 priority is stopping the virus, not economic impact going by that speech.

    Is it just mainland Europe excluded ? A lot of medical supplies go from Ireland to US. I know he said Uk but geography wouldn’t be his strong point

    Aerlingus will suffer big on back of this ban. Surely Ireland needs to ban all flights from USA too.
    Makes sense.

    LOL Trump looking to use corona as an excuse to stick the knife in Europe economically, what a piece of shite. Can you drive to Belfast and fly to New York?

    This will be some shock to people when they wake up tomorrow.

    No goods from Europe to the states for 30 days?

    This will be Armageddon.

    Hopefully there will be clarification in the morning to say it’s not that draconian!
