Where are these 27 new cases? Well, as in south, east or west?

It would be a strain on HSE resources to provide that level of transparency.

The panic buying we witnessed today was a perfect illustration of mob idiocy in plain view. A mass gathering of panicked morons all milling together, completely oblivious to the fact that in their panic they have exposed themselves and others to whatever carriers of this virus are in the community. But they have their bog roll and that's fine. The fear of missing out and the herd mentality. :rolleyes:

I went to Lidl today.
Came home with a multi meter.
That was it.

Walked into dunnes on George's street to see if I could pick up a few small bits.

Rammed with people. Everyone standing on top of each other in the queues, loads of people coughing away.

I probably wandered about longer than I should have before bailing and heading home.

I don't see how people think the shops won't be open or stocked over the next few weeks.

Well if they had been paying attention to what was happening over the past 6 weeks, they had plenty time to stock up then and could have avoided the necessity to all in bundle into a supermarket today to do what they should have done weeks ago, I.e. stock up and be prepared. Today’s group are all likely the previous “just a flu bro” crowd, the ones paying attention (plenty on here) don’t need to go shopping today because they already bought what they need to be able to stay indoors and away from crowds of last minute preppers (that’s a paradox I know) when the inevitable “penny dropped”.

Tesco and many of the other retailers get daily deliveries.

The HSE have been very transparent. They may feel that giving precise locations when it comes to 27 new cases could lead to panic among some.

Spot on there, dozens of kids came home from school mid-term trips last month and were allowed straight back to school without a thought. My niece was one of them and the HSE told the school there was no problem letting them straight back to class. Direct action should have been taken last month and we might be in a different situation today.
Apparently there is supposed to be an announcement later this evening about Cheltenham.

How is your niece doing if you don't mind me asking? Did she come down with any flu like symptoms?

flynnlives · 12-03-2020 07:29PM

Did they say where in the country these are?

Have any of the countries who have successfully curbed the spread so far used a similar tactic re: case information?

Announcement of a positive test takes 24-48 hours so expect the actual rise in numbers to be delayed. Monday onwards could get interesting. If we plateau into the weekend we'll be doing well. I'd say Friday will be our highest yet, anywhere between 12-15.

Well. That escalated quicker than I expected.

They have a massive distribution centre, there's no issues yet.

I thought earlier that we were being proactive but alas i was wrong.

We are being reactive. We could have acted last weekend but didnt cause of the poxy economy.

15,000 from cheltenham to come home too as well as all the italian rugby supporters.

Basically any country who followed WHO advice about travel and flights (most countries in Western Europe including Ireland) have seen an explosion in cases.

Those countries who ignored WHO advice on restricting flights from hotspots came out well from this.

Far East Asian countries for the most part ignored WHO advice on air flight restrictions. Lucky them!

The Chinese told the WHO to f*ck off when they tried to muscle in. Lucky they did also.

That's an interesting one.

Italy decided to block flights from China because it did not have a national airline to give instructions on how to register passengers for monitoring.
Alitalia does not fly to China.

Then Italy saw the number of cases we have all seen.
One would expect that the spread came from travellers from China,
but (except the case of two tourists) the strain in Italy came from the Bavaria outbreak - that was not fully contained as initially thought.

So restricting flights in that case did not have an effect on the number of cases.
