I can tell you exactly what the main element is going to be because it has been done in Germany already.

The front section of the bus will be sealed off so passengers do not walk by or interact with the driver. Middle doors only used instead.

Dublin bus drivers have an advantage over most other companies as the drivers are isolated as it is. They dont handle cash, like bus eireann do.

As someone working in healthcare until recently, what worries me is this lockdown is well and good but unless one of the various vaccines and medications we're hearing daily of is deployed and works,

As someone who worked in healthcare, you should know waiting for a vaccine won't be the solution this problem. The steps being taken will hopefully ensure Health services are not overwhelmed, and the virus can be managed over time.

Did anyone catch the special on BBC News channel from Wuhan?
A travel blogger from there documented his day to day life as he volunteered along with others to distribute medicine to those who couldn't get to hospital. HIV patients were donating their medication to the infected to help fight it. There was a massive amount of volunteers driving around suited up distributing medicine.
It's not surprising that they managed to get control over things, virtually everything was locked down and the place was like a ghost town with every route out blocked by police.

Pear head of capita Ireland has received more funding from the EU than any other EU member.
About time some of the other EU members had there share

Yes I am. I'm all for funding other countries but only if they uphold the values of the rest of the EU. The EU, many EU governments and citizens are very concerned about what's going on in Hungary and Poland. But it's all just impotent rage. If it's tied into Euros, we might be able to force them into line.

Are standard dust masks of any use or a waste of time if going down the shops?

They’re not much use as they don’t filter out viruses. Make a tshirt mask. It’s about as useful plus you look like an anarchist badass

All you have to to is take any T-shirt, put it your head inside it, put the neck hole where your eyes are and tie the arms into a knot at the back of your head

Easy, quick, stops you from touching your face and it looks wierd so it makes everyone near you avoid you thus creating automatic social distance

Yes the infection rate from this thing is going to be far higher than we were led to believe. I think the death toll will be too. Europe in particular and most likely all of the world outside China and Taiwan is going to be hammered.

Yes, wife is nurse have stayed indoors all last week and weekend now, trying to protects us as best I can. She's back to work tomorrow though.
Dreading it for her and fear she picks it up gets sick and daughter gets it.

That's a strange statistic. Not 70% no?

Why are they at home hiding?

derossi · 15-03-2020 11:38PM

We are taking it serious, I work for an emergency service, info the last few days was always daily and informative. I have a cold the last few days, they are sending me for a test. I am fine, a cold or whatever but I don't want to infect so I am self isolating since early Sat. Had to ring someone to get supplies since then but I'll do what I have to do.

Edited. To remove my own error, I hate phones

France info earlier

"health minister, Olivier Véran, who is a qualified doctor and neurologist, tweeted on Saturday: “The taking of anti-inflammatories [ibuprofen, cortisone … ] could be a factor in aggravating the infection. In case of fever, take paracetamol."

Its one thing to stay home. But they have to keep social distance and good hygiene at home too. The Chinese found something like 75% of infections were spread at home. And the French did badly in a recent survey of hygiene levels.

Did your mother/granny never tell you to stay quiet if you have nothing good to say?

Or perhaps the saying "it's better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt".

Has anyone actually suggested that the UK will rush the border? Wtf does that even mean?

Yes countless people have suggested just that. I'm mocking the overall opinion here and the general obsession with what the UK are doing instead of showing concern about what is happening within Irish borders but that will come soon.

Did you see that woman on the news whose husband had just died and she had the virus but she wasn't sick enough to be admitted to hospital. I thought it was gratuitous to broadcast it but I guess that's where we're at trying to get it through some people's thick heads
