Do the maths again 0.2% of 2m is 4000. A lot of people don’t appear to understand percentages.

Hands up I'm wrong it's 4,000. So a projection at a 40% infection rate of 4,000 deaths in the 18-42 age group is still significant. That's my point, even by conservative estimates a lot of fit young people are expected to die.

Likely there won't be funerals for people who die of the virus ( if there's a large number of them). Apparently in Italy they're just burning/burying them without ceremony

This is a bit sobering. You don’t need to speak Italian

Of the 39 new cases today, were we told how many are community transmission?

Not talking about you as you seem to be on team sensible but I wonder how many of you're co workers are whinging about going into work because of the virus but are still getting pissed in pubs tonight?

Two that I know of plus 1 returning from Cheltenham. Most frustrating part is, about a third of the office are set up to work from home but have been told to report to office.

I went to Liverpool for the match on Wednesday. I could not get over how laid back and normal it was there. Cv19 never came up in any conversation.

Shops stocked. Streets busy. Was a but surreal when I returned to Ireland to empty shelves and schools closed in the space of 24hrs

You were fairly laid back yourself in fairness.

I also see Madrid is a hotspot for CV at the moment , hopefully you didn't pick up anything off the Atletico support.

Most importantly will "Dancing with the Sars" be affected:o Might end up as a sean-nós over the sweeping brush individual job, with no touching allowed now.

No audience tomorrow! The executive producer was on with Ray D'Arcy.

Just drove down from georges street, down Camden street up portobello and down through Rathmines.

Town is busier than you would like. I hope this doesn’t sound bad but there doesn’t look to be many Irish out, most are foreign. Mainly Brazilian.

Its very irritating at the lack of fcuks people are giving. I'm terrified my family is. Were on lock down essential trips only. Food pharmacy. Taking my PC home on Monday from work. My dad is 70. He is on lock down taking this very seriously. I'm Trying to limit all contact in shops etc standing three to four feet back from everyone. Wish people would open their bloody eyes and see what is happening around Europe.

Looking for some opinions
Is it rude to ask visitors to your house to wash hands when they come, and maybe correct them on their cough/sneeze etiquette? Have plenty of anti-bacterial wipes and dettol in the press anyway but just looking for peoples views on this

What visitors?

There should be no visitors other than carers/close family or essential maintanence personel.

Its not rude to ask. Have a basin with warm soapy water ready.

Not rude at all. Needs must. To be honest I won't be inviting people into my home while this is going on. I have asthma and am bricking it.

Don't have visitors. Tell them to stay at home.

Will county councils decide to close for the 2 weeks? Very unfair to expect staff to come in...

I think the Irish public and Govt (along with the French and Germans and everyone else) have it spot on.

I'm a bit shocked at the lack of reaction in the UK and the way people are carrying on as if it's business as usual.

Agreed.

The sociopaths in the British Government are conducting a very dangerous biological experiment on their own population.

They want at least 60% of the population to become infected so that they can achieve 'herd immunity'. This is why Cheltenham, the football matches and Crufts were allowed to go ahead and why they are keeping their schools open.

Unfortunately for us they will do it north of the border too. In the foot&Mouth epidemic there was an all Ireland effort to keep the virus out... and there was practically no spread of the virus here.

Maybe Johnston, Cummings and the rest of those pompous Tory overgrown public schoolboys should volunteer their own families to be the guinea pigs for this lunatic experiment.

Lets see how they feel when their own families suffer or maybe even die.

Maybe. But at the time there was no talk of lockdown in any European county . No talk of schools closing .

Liverpool itself at only a handful of cases. I'd have as much a chance of catching it during my normal work.

The risk at the time seemed low. I did contemplate not going

A handful of cases is how it started in Italy.

Blueshoe · 15-03-2020 01:25AM

Few countries affected in Africa. Time to pick one and get a flight. Wait it out in direct provision over there

Soap and water work better when not pre-mixed.

In relation to Trump's new travel restrictions, I know he
says Ireland is now included but do people know if that is only flying to US from Ireland or does it include flights from US going to Ireland?

Hope that makes sense! I'm worried, my sister is in Mew York and she's being stubborn and refusing to come home!!

All offices with more than 100 staff must be closed from Monday. Maybe even ones with 50 staff if that's what it takes

I work at a large multinational, and all the office workers are being told to work to work from home if they can. But the like of myself, the monkeys on the floor, we can't work from home, we have to be in at the machines to work. They've promised us that the canteens will be limited in numbers, and everywhere will be cleaned more frequently, but since I started there the toilets have always been in an awful state, and canteen tables dirty. Not to mention some people are just filthy animals coughing everywhere uncovered.

I'm honestly worried going in for a night shift tomorrow because the standards are always lower when the important people aren't around. I'm mostly worried bout bringing the virus home and infecting the parents or siblings. I'll be telling the boss that first sign of some dirtbag coughing uncovered or facilities not being kept clean, I'm off - can do what they want to me, but I'm putting my health first!

I would imagine they are not hoping that 60% of the population become infected. Saying that they want it is more than a bit of a stretch.

This is just carry on hatred since brexit

I don't think he was being a dick. All his points are legitimate. People are getting it tight for going to Cheltenham, don't see much of a difference.

No they are working.

Any services that might have to close the staff will be redeployed to other sections as required, librarians for example have already been redeployed by the head office to assist other departments.

At least this is the current plan in the cc my wife works for.
