    The virus is being beaten in Asia. If Singapore can beat it, Ireland can beat it. It's not rocket science, it just needs people to not act like fúcking selfish morons.

    Nothing has changed. He won't save you. The reason we end up in a loop of incompetent politicians is because the general public just forgive, forget, realise their error and then repeat again.

    If this virus gets bad we are in serious trouble. And with these failures at the helm by default we are screwed. Completely

    I'm not a fan of Harris, or FG and they are part of the reason why our health service is in a bad way. I think he's been out of his depth in his office and in the coming months, if our health service is buckling under the strain of this situation, they will have been instrumental in causing those issues.

    However... so far, he has delivered his message in a no nonsense way and that has been very welcome indeed. He's doing, now, exactly what is needed from him and he's stepping up and not hiding away.

    Frankly, we need a cross party effort on this. Not the usual, petty, political spats. Because that's no help whatsoever. This is a national emergency, that requires emergency government.

    I must be in the minority of people that doesn't have a GP to contact as a first point of call. Thankfully my cold is dissipating but I did quarantine for the past few days.

    Do you mean Crohn's disease? And if so where are you seeing evidence of Covid19 wiping out people with Crohn's? If it's a sweeping assumption, maybe be a bit more careful due to people reading here with that condition.

    The main treatment for chrohns are immuno suppressants, and they in turn are one of the at-risk categories for COVID-19.

    "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Frank Herbert, Dune.

    Many people on here are talking about how the U.K. have got it wrong. The U.S. are beyond ****ked when you listen to what the giant wotsit is saying and how all the states are completely out of sync on this thing.

    Agreed also people here have no idea what they are facing. All shops stripped today, people crying, and these are the same people complaining cause the bars and restaurants are closed.

    No milk, bread, meat but tons of frozen stuff left????? Tinned good everywhere but they are purchasing perishables??

    No testing here yet, it’s a **** show

    Trump calls coronvirus the 'Chinese Virus' as he vows to protect American businesses including airlines from the economic fallout from the crisis

    The blame has shifted for the US administration, this could lead to worse, he may start saying it was a biological weapon against in trade war

    Does this man not realise we are told to self isolate
    Talking of social-distancing, not of suspected case self-isolation.

    CBL has had good ideas on beating cabin-fever, and answering children's questions re COVID-19.

    people don't believe the ball park figures , it's gotta be in the thousands

    Why is everyone so afraid of it being in the thousands. I personally hope Italy have 7 figures infected right now. The more infected in relation to the death rate means it’s not as deadly as we feared. Let’s hope most people that are infected are getting really mild symptoms that doesn’t even warrant getting tested.

    The swine flu infected 2 billion worldwide. I know this is worse but let’s hope we’re not seeing a fraction of the amount of people that have it but have no complications.

    There is zero medical advice that if you have Crohn's you'd be gone quickly as you put it. Please go educate yourself and don't be so insensitive.

    Well if restrictions are lifted and China go back to normal, what’s to stop the populous getting c19 again? They wouldn’t have built up immunity, and we don’t have a vaccine so how won’t they be reinfected?

    I think lifting of restrictions would be very gradual, not sudden.

    The hope would be that new treatments and vaccines come online to the point that by this time next year, CV is on the retreat everywhere.

    No she is leading by example. Imagine if she does have it and came into work, knowing there is a chance she might have it.
