Indeed. It's not meant to be fun. This is war!

There will be more dead people from it than from the virus.

And to that you can add further evidence of suspect official attitudes in China:

Early and combined interventions crucial in tackling Covid-19 spread in China'- University of Southampton

"The research also found that if interventions in the country could have been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier, cases could have been reduced by 66 percent, 86 percent and 95 percent respectively– significantly limiting the geographical spread of the disease"

In Korea at least they would tell you where the diseased people went so you can avoid them. Here nobody cares.

Nice way to look at people, catch a virus now and your diseased. Will we all shun you when you're diseased. Maybe the health staff shouldn't look at you cos you're diseased.

MD1990 · 19-03-2020 09:30PM

this could & most likely will go on for a year

Where do people see this heading long term 3-6 months+?

When will restaurants,schools,sports events be open to the public again?

The horse is bolted now. The limited shutdown came too late. Contact tracing has likely been a failure as unless you employ chinese type rigour, technology and numbers its no use.

At this stage all we can do is keep old people isolated.

We were always going to hit this stage when we failed to ban flights early to Italy and when we failed to impose isolation on those who returned from Italy. The Italian fans coming over probably didn't help and the government didn't even bother telling the Cheltenham punters to isolate.

Our only hope now is older people don't get it in large numbers. They probably shouldn't even be going to the shops at this stage.

Yes put it started last Tuesday week. So cases will be starting to show.

And pay no attention to the northern figures, they only test hospitalised patients. No testing of people with symptoms .

It's not about the people but where they went, what they touched. That's how you stop spread.

No its because Dublin is the biggest city, with most public transport, workforce and social interaction. Dublin amazingly will be ground zero for the outbreak here, followed by Cork city, Limerick and Galway.

And Dublin has the most tourists.

That's the point! Shun people who are ill. Keep away from medics in case it is passed on to them or more vulnerable people.

In 3 months there will be a large volume of people who have had it and things will start to return to normal as the person to person transmission reduces. Gradually things will reopen from there

sheepsh4gger · 19-03-2020 09:35PM

So I haven't been out for 5 days - are people wearing masks now?

These are always false negatives followed by a positive.

Some mutation of the virus will come back in winter. This is why It's important to have daylight.

Not really

Shocking things in Dublin city center today from all levels of society. Very few people wearing gloves or masks. In the supermarkets older people breathing down the faces of retail workers, counting coins not caring a damn about any virus.

Gardai in the rare times you see them - a bunch of them cornered some guy, breathing in directly in his face close-quarters no mask no nothing standing there for very long time.

Don't understand how all this stupidity is allowed. Life has shut down and so many are doing their best to infect others.

But the world has to go on. You get a bit more immune each time, and there are those that won't get it twice, and so on...the "herd" becomes more immune.

Contact tracing has been a failure how ??

Compared to other counties we've implemented measures earlier.

Hard to argue with that. Too little too late all that talk of proportionate response nonsense. Still, it is best to try and limit it by slowing it down as best we can.

An Axios timeline has shown that if the Chinese government had acted 3 weeks earlier to contain the virus, the spread of Coronavirus could have been reduced by 95%. Instead the barbaric Chinese gov imprisoned doctors and scientists and muzzled free speech for 6 weeks before they actually did anything.

The funny thing is -
I own an m8 rated 3M mask but I'm afraid to wear it because people will probably find it funny/suspicious because of helmet policies.

Wearing gloves or mask are useless unless your already ill. It's been recommended time and time again not to wear masks unless you have a respiratory issue.

No need to wear gloves, your potentially doing more harm with them on..better to wash your hands

Pretty sure herd immunity only kicks in once a vaccine is found and given to the young first, we then get the immunity from them.

Never heard of the human race just becoming immune to a virus without a vaccine being given first.
