    Most of the UK news such as sky news are focussing largely on the the economic impacts of the disease and not so much on the public health aspect. Very odd compared to here.

    Mick Wallace throwing his tuppence in talking about immigrants need to be let in more than we currently do now.

    Whoever voted or votes for that cnut supports tax evasion.

    Some people are very stupid...

    Colombia expelled two French nationals and two Spaniards for violating coronavirus quarantine rules, immigration officials said today.

    The two couples separately took tourist trips in defiance of restrictions imposed on visitors from the worst-affected countries to try to limit the pandemic.

    Colombia's President Ivan Duque on Wednesday ordered travelers from France, Spain, Italy and China to be isolated on arrival in the country.

    Immigration authorities said the couples had been expected to remain in isolation in their hotels for 14 days.

    The French couple in their 60s, who arrived in the country on March 11, instead left their accommodation to take a tour to Mongui, about 150 miles away.

    The Spanish couple, aged 30 and 27, landed in Bogota on a flight from Madrid on March 12 but quickly left their hotel to tour the capital.

    The Colombian immigration authority did not say if any of the four were suspected of carrying the coronavirus.

    It said in a statement they were taken to Bogota's El Dorado International Airport and told to leave the country "immediately".

    Colombia, which has 22 suspected cases of the coronavirus by Saturday, expelled a Spanish woman the day before for the same reason.

    On Friday, Colombia extended the restriction to foreigners arriving from across Europe and Asia, the main sources of the pandemic. Colombians arriving back in the country have to self-isolate.

    Sorry guys, only read last two pages so far, but glad I did because I didn't know about neuofen for the kids. Will keep them on calpol.

    Anyway, iv been running a fever of over 38.5 since last Monday, I really didn't take notice until Thursday when the schools closed and I had a tightness on my chest and on Friday I rang my doctor. She said OK, sounds like corona and you might have it but the criteria to be tested was for travelling abroad etc. I told her I had work Saturday and she said no, noway isolate for 2 weeks and keep the kids away from my mam for a month or 6 weeks.

    The criteria changed at 6pm last night and I rang the South doc and they said they were referring me for a test and someone would call me back. My work want me to get tested to rule it out but iv heard nothing yet. My boss said stay out the weekend and check temp Mon and see how I feel.

    Sorry to hear you are unwell. I don't know where you are but suspect it's Cork since you mentioned SouthDoc.

    I thought there was a drive through facility for testing in Cork, or was that just a Facebook thing.

    Lots of oldies out and about in the shops and cafes these last couple of days. If those most at risk don't want to isolate themselves why should younger people?


    Do I really have to spell it out?


    1. Young people are far, far, far, far, far, far less likely to run into severe complications and death with this.


    2. The young people have their whole lives ahead of them to do whatever the hell they want.


    3. Just what is the big deal with isolating? People don't seen capable at the moment even for a single day, even though they do that normally plenty anyway! And for young people, it's ironic they want to be out as they are so glued to their phones all the time.

    So let me get this straight.

    When the virus started in China in Sept 2019, you think the government should have stopped all travel into the country?

    Is that what you're saying?

    How did you know the virus started in September of last year?


    The virus was first identified in January of this year, I think. In Wuhan, in China, people started appearing in December with similar symptoms - cough, fever, respiratory conditions, taking 14 days incubation period and maybe another 14 days or 21 days for disease progression, - it probably would have been brewing there since October.


    The virus was first identified in January so our government wasn't in a position to ban the Chinese from coming into our country. I think Michael Martin
    Wanted to ban flights from Italy towards the end of February. That really would have been the best course of action.

    When the dust settles the British people will hopefully realise that their government cares much more about money than they do about them.

    Simon Haris has just been critical of the pub video.

    Has he forgotten he's in charge and force the pubs to close. Idiot.

    What an idiotic post. If pubs and people are sensible, pubs can remain open with social distancing enforced.

    The problem once again is Ireland’s entitlement culture and the refusal to take personal responsibility for anything and childishly think the government can solve every issue.

    If we go in the direction of a lockdown incl. shops, what happens to the people who couldn't afford to buy in food for a couple of weeks?

    The reason any younger people I know question the isolation is purely economic, they would be happy to work on and protect the elderly and vulnerable in isolation.
    Seems reasonable to me

    No supermarkets have closed anywhere, even in Wuhan. People will just have to queue up like good boys and girls and get a grip if it came to it.

    Think I'll unsubscribe from this thread for my own sanity. Grown adults who need the state to close the pubs for them because they're either too selfish or too thick to follow guidelines. It won't be these gob****es that suffer though, it'll be the poor vulnerable unfortunates they infect. Thankfully, I know plenty of frontline workers that restore my faith in humanity while johnny dickhead is sitting in the pub thinking how great he is.

    Couldn't have put it better

    In the absence of that they should be shut down for a few weeks
