    South Korea was hit by COVID-19, a novel coronavirus, in mid-January 2020 and
    To me that doesn't seem any more extreme than what most European countries have been doing for several days now. With no discernible effect so far.:(

    I know how the government could get people to stay indoors.

    if your found to be out unnecessarily, your emergency payment that has been introduced by the government for this is axed.

    we would see massive compliance then.

    We wouldn't because for a start, there is no onus to carry ID and we have a huge snowflake entitled generation who would refuse to give their names/addresses and what happens then? They have to be arrested and taken to a station till their names are established and so we have 2 or 3 hours of Garda time wasted to deal with one or 2 people.

    The only way that it could be enforced is if legislation was introduced to take the one thing 99% of people have on them, off them...their phone. Some little prick would be more likely to comply if they thought they'd lose their phone. The phone could then be released on payment of €100 and proof of identity. Otherwise your at nothing and its unenforceable as unfortunately the Gardaí are so hamstrung by all sorts of nonsense legislation which in 99% of cases protects only criminals and wrong doers.

    No I am ethnic Chinese living in Ireland for the last 20 years. I just don't think China during this crisis is any better than Mr. Trump performance, but no one seems to ask series questions about China's behaviour, yet Trump is getting so much attention.



    As I said before, although the word "Chinese Virus" is not nice. It emphasis the origin of the virus, which China/CCP are trying to put their own narrative around the world, to shift blame from its own citizens and the world.

    YouTube joins Netflix in reducing video quality in Europe.

    Streams now set to standard definition by default

    Luckily for me, I stockpiled on bandwidth, got a load of it saved up in a box under the stairs and I can now stream videos in 8k to my phone while you guys are stuck with 720p on your 65 inch tvs

    few degrees up and kids are out and about, this crap isnt working, its hilarious how some describe their activities as if going outdoors they are going into radiation zone or something, lots of mild case flu going around, numbers dont matter if we all need eventually to get it. cant see this last past end of this month, the dole offices are probabbly burried by people on the dole, if hse got equipment ready and are prepared enough this should end by the month and back to usual, can't see with temperatures going up that anyone will stay in doors much longer, given good few months this been out here, its safe to assume many are infected or have been, but aside critical or dead, its pointless to go with daily updates, as its not spreading here like anywhere else so safe to assume many are ok.

    I agree, I can see complacency creeping in. The last few days practically all shops in Letterkenny were closed. Today, the majority on main street are open, pharmacy's (fair enough but no rules on social distancing) sports shops, gift shops, shoes shops, newsagents, post office, etc etc plenty of people wandering around like nothing was happening. By next week they'll all be open.

    Stricter enforcement is needed NOW!

    Do you think China is still recording sizeable numbers but not reporting?

    You might have better insight than most of us.

    I saw the video going around of the Wuhan wild animal market. If China has shut that sh!t down and makes sure nothing like it ever happens again then they shouldn't be blamed for this. But, if they don't ...

    If you missed it listen to this Doctor on why we should stay indoors and treat each other like pariahs. Remember she is going to have to deal with the sick and dying.

    If most of the cases are in Dublin then it needs locking down like Wuhan. No one should be leaving Dublin, closed the roads and at least contain the epicentre in Ireland.

    When it comes to a global pandemic. I'm not going to wait for official advise so there can be an enquiry afterwards.

    It's like the people in Grenfell tower. They were advised to remain in their apartments. Despite the fact the building was clearly on fire. Do you think that following the guidelines was the right call in that situation?

    HSE never got anything wrong.
    Cervical screening. / blood transfusion scandal etc

    This applies to you too:

    I think it's standard for people with bad pneumonia.
