No, you isolate immediately if you feel symptoms. People are not fully informed it seems.

why it is very relevant to how its been handled in the US

You dont like it dont read the thread
He isn't even mentioned that much anyway

Yea it's one thing discussing and giving out how he's handling it it's another thing listening to lads constantly repeating the same ****e about dump trump, all his supporters are dumb, the US is full of dumb people, there's plenty more threads on the site for that scutter

Thread is about Covid-19. There is a discussion about the reaction of the "leader of the free world" to this crisis... Deal with it.

Annoying, and probably something that could be looked at for the next potential wave. Allow everyone to give forward their details for say 30 days. We could then have notifications sent to anyone that was in the same place at roughly the same time of a confirmed case notified and they could self isolate with the knowledge that there was a chance they were infected.
It's not beyond our capabilities and to be honest is a lot more in line with the likes of korea and singapore and their ability to stuff this out before it gets to the general population

I completely agree.

I can understand protecting the anonymity of the early cases was really important, but at this stage anyone getting a positive result is just another statistic.

I'd like to see some of their data anonymised and shared widely. If nothing else it might scare some people who aren't taking this seriously into taking more precautions

If the leader of a very powerful nation continually talks bollocks about a current subject, while at the same time trying to aggrandise himself, he's going to be criticised.

Seems it's almost impossible for anyone to get tested regardless of how bad symptoms are, yet most of the people tested showed no symptoms? My suspicions are being raised each day this passes.

An exercise by world governments to see if they have total control ? There certainly wont be any protests anywhere for a long time? There is always years of austerity ahead.

Reality is always strange and scarier than fiction,

"An exercise by world governments" would ye ever give your head a wobble ,

Are we talking about people who know they are positive?

I'm talking in general. I go out and walk, and often have kids with me. We live rurally though and would rarely pass anyone as we keep to local lanes and roads.

Coughing/sneezing onto a surface. Someone comes along and touches the surface, then touches their mouth, nose, or eyes. Come on people, work with this.

Not everyone is on social media. Many, many older people were taking no notice of “the gossip”. Having the leader of our country on air telling everyone exactly what’s what was definitely needed.

Simon Harris and Simon Coveney haven't been off RTE 1 and the radio all week. Older people watch the news.

So long as most new infections are in the younger age category, we are doing well. They will get over it mostly and it will create a pool of people immune to it. Also I think the experience from China is that females do better with this virus than males for some reason.

As a nation, more so the people, we are stepping up to the plate. This could be our finest hour! But lets not let our guard slip. Many months of this to go before we are on top of it.

Probably a good job that the last Brexit meeting was postponed.
Barnier confirms he's got CoVid19 according to Sky News.

Just on state exams...

Very likely they cancelled/postponed?

I'd say the Junior Cert will definitely be cancelled. They might try holding the Leaving Cert with social distancing measures - using Junior Cert exam halls to spread students out. Too early to say yet though.

How to self-isolate - If you have to self-isolate, stay indoors and avoid contact with other people.

Exactly. I can imagine someone not taking social distancing seriously because they are asymptomatic or they think they are young and therefore okay. If they get a notification to their phone saying they are potentially infected, beware of being in public places, or near older or vunerable people they would take it more seriosuly. Especially if they are given an exact time and place

the.red.baron · 19-03-2020 01:35PM

who gives a ****e about Trump

have ye all run out of rubbish to post about the virus already?

some interesting projects tracking the spread of the virus by tracking its dna mutations, might shed some light on how exactly it got so bad in Italy, was it just one person kicked it off, did it come from the German case, was it multiple infections from China, why is it so bad up north and not in the south

Great video on why mass testing and isolating infected is essential. This is a YouTube station that’s used by medical students in USA. Also the guy talking works in a hospital ( not as a janitor either

). He’s also done videos about patients being treated and the effects on the body.

Minute 5-6.45 is very technical stuff that I don’t understand and the stuff after is more about potential treatments that none of us will understand or get much out of. I suppose it does show that there are signs that there might be ways of reducing the impact of the virus in advance of a cure which would be nice to think.

Also has a link to HSE website on these videos which is great. I find this stuff interesting, most might not to be fair.

If those stats are true, that is genuinely remarkable. Anyone know why this might be the case.

They present a global image of ruthless efficiency. But Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, has been lambasted today after it bought 100,000 Covid-19 testing kits that experts said lacked a crucial component.

Ynet reports comments from Itamar Grotto, the deputy director general of Israel’s health ministry, who said: “Unfortunately, what Mossad has delivered is not what we are in need of.”

According to the Jerusalem Post, the tests are missing a patented liquid in which testing swabs need to be dipped before carrying out screenings.

Israel so far has 529 confirmed cases of Covid-19, but has reported no deaths while 11 people in the country have recovered.

We live in a very breezy country, I would certainly not advise someone with COVID 19 to go out walking. Don't be selfish and sit inside for a couple of days.

You could sneeze and someone could be 10 meters behind you and they will still pick up particles through aerosols as it carries in the wind

The deluded nonsensical opinions of 'the leader of the free world' keep appearing here... like what the seasonal effect will be on the spread of the virus (It will all be gone by April etc.)

And Boris Johnston's mishandling of the pandemic will have a huge effect here because viruses do not respect borders.

All very relevant IMHO

billybonkers · 19-03-2020 01:40PM

Thoughts on the emergency legislation and power to detain?

Do you think it will come into effect immediately, or will hold of until things get worse?

I think cars should be going around with loudspeakers informing/warning people. Amazing how people who are online don't understand how it can spread. What about those that live even a bit off the grid.

If you look at the the countries that constitute the South, they're all much further along this than those in the North.

I just think we're looking at it having taken hold earlier in southern countries than in Northern ones.

The virus can't compete with the level of alcohol in the blood and the Mediterranean diet isn't so hot, after all.
