Just wait another day or two.

Plenty of posters on here constantly saying **** like this...and the numbers never reach anywhere near the level they predict.

Go on, tell us how many will be infected in a day or two then?

Agreed their press conferences today were very reassuring.

And good to hear from the health professionals on here that they feel more optimistic too

It simply has to happen.

Probably expecting a run on the offies then.

Will there be door to door house party inspections?

I'm deadly serious here.

Its time to press pause
A restaurant owner on newstalk let 21 staff go today.
We need to close non essential services.

Europe needs to close borders

Seen so many young lads in tracksuits up to no good around town today. Thinking they're in gangs.

Why don't parents realise this isn't a holiday

I know one person who got tested on Monday with no word back yet, so I wouldn’t take much notice of today’s numbers.
Looking at report on the news and from news conference it looks like they are losing the run of this. If this gets hold with health workers the country could be in a lot of trouble.

I’d say we’re almost guaranteed a rise in cases with the amount of mass panic buying that’s been going on over the past 2 days!

You’re right, but the increase we will see in the next few days will be from what was happening 10-14 days ago, it’ll be a couple more weeks til today’s shoppers and pub goers add to the numbers.

But how is that a good thing, that they were infected in four separate instances.

I still don’t trust the HSE. Suddenly going from only Italy and China to everyone?

This is just my feeling but I feel like there will be changes on Monday I’m hearing a lot of things from different people I know it’s gossip but you keep hearing the same thing from different sources They can’t all be wrong. I feel like there is a lot going on in the background right now possibly gearing up for Monday. Time will tell if I’m right or not.

Predictions? What nonsense are you spouting - the numbers and data is widely available. It ain’t gonna magically stop in Ireland tomorrow while it continues to spread everywhere else. Zzzzz... same nonsense over and over.

Offies be still open?

whiskeyman · 13-03-2020 07:23PM

I know it's been said, but for one moment let's stop and think of all the people working crazy shifts right now in healthcare and government agencies.
Many of those same people who probably came under flak before this.

From moving equipment, clearing hospitals, doing tracing, calling people, doing announcements, rearranging stuff.

From the lowest paid to the top rank.

Everything they are doing will save lives.

These are now the unsung heroes of our country.
I hope we can help them and thank them when the times comes.

Anyone else a bit numb after Pseudonym's post earlier saying they predict 60 thousand in the Republic die from this?

He/she have been right about everything so far before it happened

You might ask yourself where they got their info.

Yes you read it correctly, whilst all these rituals are good to do from a general hygiene perspective Corona is a breath virus and all the science and data is at best weak. Watch his talk on Joe Rogan for more detail but this man is the top expert epidemiologist on the planet today, nobody knows more about these things than him.

I don't think you are qualified to make those calculations nor are you using all the possible data points.

Africa has by far the lowest median age of any continent with a median age of 19.7 years old compared to Europe's of 42.6 and China's (not a continent I know) 38.4 so I think your assumption that it will be way worse in Africa is way off despite their infrastructure.

Don't talk about the models as if you have any clue about how valid they are, what models were used and what data was entered into them because you don't. You're assuming a hell of a lot of stuff which is just bad science.

I'd very much like to see the models for these figures.

Two possibilities:

1) You are attention seeking

2) >redacted<

Ireland has probably had CV for a month and we have had one death connected to it. Honestly, this is much to do about nothing I’m convinced of it. I don’t want to be cynical but just can’t see it being that bad. I feel the Italian situation is exaggerated by social media. It’s like here in Ireland we are told of the horrors of people on hospital beds as if it is catastrophic, it’s not ideal but completely gives a false sense of the reality in hospitals.

dougm1970 · 13-03-2020 07:25PM

age old problem with forums, people just cannot be civil to each other.
half the posters on here would be a small bit more polite to each other if it were a real world group....you still get your point across.
