    15 Italians who were in Ireland test positive for Coronavirus on return to Italy

    https://gript.ie/15-italians-who-were-in-ireland-test-positive-for-coronavirus-on-return-to-italy/

    15 Italians who were in Ireland for flight assistant training with Ryanair have Covid19. Some of them were under treatment in two hospitals in Dublin while others have been quarantined.

    It is believed that they contracted the virus in Bergamo, near Milan, where the training began. Bergamo is the area with of the largest number
    of Corona virus deaths in Italy. Ryanair daily direct flights from Bergamo (Orio al Serio) to Dublin were discontinued only on 10th March.

    The group left Bergamo for Bari on 2nd March, when the whole Lombardy region was locked down, and they arrived in Dublin on Saturday 7th March.

    Michael O'Leary you pr!ck :mad:

    I thought somebody had overdubbed the real video with German (like, as some sort of Nazi reference) until it became audible.

    168 new cases in Turkey.


    Anybody not see this coming? In a few days it will be 1,000's per day.


    Countries lie then can't hide the crisis or the bodies and in desperation start reporting the figures when it is too late.


    Turkey > Iran

    Turkey realised they cant hide it when nearly every other country in the world has cases - no matter their pandemic plans

    Please tell me you're joking?

    Paper cash is just a receipt of what you have in your bank account no more.

    I don't have any money in my bank account, so does that make the cash hidden under my bed worthless?

    After watching the Sky News report from inside the hospital in Italy and listening to Dr Motherway on Prime Time and comparing that to what I am seeing outside and people acting I'm afraid that a full shutdown of all non essential services is required for a minimum two week period.

    People dont need to suffer like those in Italy, health care workers dont need to have to make fhe choice of life or death

    Its going to be a very hard lesson to learn for some and for the first time since all this started a little bit of fear is,creeping in on me

    It's like bringing a fire onto a plane and dropping them off in a dry forest.
    Then collecting it and bringing it back.


    It was going to go on fire in parts. But this just added to the fuel.

    That's a huge line of trucks.

    They will be taking away more than one body at a time in those trucks.

    If this is the first time you have felt fear, then you either have not being paying attention and you haven't been as careful as you should have, or you for some reason thought you we were immune.

    I have an Australian friend living in rural north Thailand whose embassy contacted him asking did he want to go home. He declined as he is quite self sufficient with his own water, food, generator etc. He does not have to come into contact if he doesn’t want to. He told me that a lot of Thai people are very worried about the virus but cannot stop going to work as no social welfare. The shocking thing that he did say was although the government has issued a lockdown, it did not effect popular tourist resorts such as Phuket due to the economic impact(It has officially in the last day) but he said that nothing has stopped. I looked at various tattoo parlours in Phuket on Facebook and all business as usual with tourists.

    They do have restrictions and a negative infection health certificate issued within 72 hours to get in, but yesterday had the largest jump in new cases.

    15 Italians who were in Ireland for flight assistant training with Ryanair have Covid19. Some of them were under treatment in two hospitals in Dublin while others have been quarantined.

    Day 1 each those 15 came in contact with 10 people = 150 people potentially infected.

    Day 2 each those 150 came in contact with 10 people = 1,500 people potentially infected.

    Day 3 each those 1,500 came in contact with 10 people = 15,000 people potentially infected.

    Day 4 each those 15,000 came in contact with 10 people = 150,000 people potentially infected.

    Day 5 each those 150,000 came in contact with 10 people = 1,500,000 people potentially infected.

    Day 6 each those 1,500,000 came in contact with 10 people = 15,000,000 people potentially infected.

    On the 7th Day the Corona god rested and admired his work. No one left to infect, Corona was pleased.

    USA now has almost as many new cases for yesterday as Italy and 70 new deaths.

    +5,150 so far for yesterday across the US.

    Even Jameson has switched from whiskey to hand sanitiser.

    We're better off than most here.

    I wonder if someone from Jameson's read my suggestion that they make hand sanitiser, in the second thread, over 3 weeks ago now?

    My mother pretty much grew up in the Jameson's distillery.

    Do you know I don’t think it will be after this. I put my coins in a bag and won’t be using them again. Card and contact less all the way. I’ve advised my friends and family to do the same. Metal is a transmitter of corona possibly as the virus can survive a very long time on it, I read 36 hours now have just read a few pages back up to 96 hours. I often had lose change buried at bottom of my handbag, all gone now even the hand bag. I found a cloth bag and when I go out I will bring my card my keys and phone nothing else. Bag can washed when I come home and keys and phoned wiped with antiseptic cloth.its a lot of work for sure but money is so dirty. I hope more people think about this.

    But if money is dirty why is money laundering against the law?

    But it looks like that didn’t happen, thankfully. Also, if people are practicing social distancing, the Cheltenham crowd etc shouldn’t make a difference (apart from to medical staff).

    What is more vile is people still being made to go to work (When not necessary) and have to use Public transport. I was shocked when I found out that my friend who works in a city centre shoe shop, is still working. Like who the fcuck needs shoes.

    Also I hear so many people saying that they have some of the symptoms but still going out as they know it’s not the virus as it’s something they get regularly. Also had to message a friend of mine on Facebook as he was doing live videos out and about today. Interacting with people sitting in a group, drinking. He’s fcucking 30. What makes it worse was he was going to bank, post office, shop, which puts them at risk.

    At our level of growth we are 10 days away from when Italy implemented a full lockdown based on current trajectory. Italy had 9,000 confirmed cases and 460 deaths when they went into full lockdown.

    Dublin and Cork need to be locked down. Could lift stay at home for rest of country.

    I would be in favour of this happening but I just can`t see the authorities doing it. How could it be implemented and enforced? The resources are just not there.

    Last week certain people accused others of 'Scaremongering' and 'doomsday scenarios' when trying to get across the gravity of the situation - Unfortunately we didn't even have to wait 7 days to exceed 100 cases a day...

    I agree with what some other posters have mentioned, we need a full shutdown here ASAP to really stem the spread. Some people just aren't getting it.

    While I agree with you about Dublin and Cork I completely disagree with the second part. There are no confirmed cases in Monaghan and at least 30 people waiting to even be tested. Do you really think there are 0 cases there?
