A collective mindset of The Great British spirit at work.

Half expecting the Grant sisters to release twitter videos full of false facts highlighting how great they are and how they will beat the virus through their Britishness.

Don't think that just applies to Britain, Irish pubs are still open through the back door. Belgium has a problem with house parties and the French Police have arrested over 1000 people for beaning out for no reason, but don'y let that stop you getting a dig in.

That research is hypothetical and doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Nexstrain is visualising data from the GISAID Initiative - the international sharing of virus sequences.

It's probable that persons with no to very mild symptoms simply spread the virus unknowingly.

Sure.

The first death by COVID-19 recorded in Europe is actually a person who died in Valencia on 13 February, initially diagnosed as a death by pneumonia.

Did you see the amount of ICU hospital workers getting it and they are hazmat, goggles and visored up all day? Don't underestimate this virus!

Just wondering what is going to happen when we eventually get to zero cases in Ireland. If we open up everything thing again the virus will establish itself again eventually unless we completely ban travel on and off the island.

I can’t see how we can be without some level of lockdown in the long term, possibly a couple of years. How can this end any quicker?

An effective new or existing antiviral drug holds out more hope than a vaccine, I think.

I am inclined to agree with you bb12 about their 'herd immunity by stealth' strategy. Sitting behind a table with 2 yellow coronavirus signs at Dublin airport was just window dressing. It was no way to defend the country against the introduction of this deadly virus.

Then waiting for the numbers to rise, to some mystery state secret amount, before taking any sensible preventative measures was grossly negligent IMHO.

Re-branding incarcerating the elderly as 'Cocooning', or in the UK as 'Shielding', is one of the worst modern examples of advertisers doublespeak... since George Orwell's book "1984".

What happens to the elderly when they emerge from their 'cocooning' ?

They have a one in five chance of dying when they get infected... Russian roulette odds are better.. at least it gives you a five out of six chance of survival.

So disappointed with what is happening here...

I think all European government are try to do "herd immunity" in some way or another

You don't have to have a cough to cough or have a cold to sneeze. Various ways the virus can be transmitted. It's the same reason a lot of dentists closed.

Looks like Cheltenham effect is starting. Footballer Charlie Austin has tested positive and reckons he picked it up there.

There's a difference between working in a confined space around confirmed cases that are showing symptoms, coughing, spitting up, touching their fluids, cleaning after them, taking bloods, and a local barber.

What is the transfer mechanism?

There is no way they can go ahead here. Its monumentally stupid that the IOC has not called time on this already.

Has anyone seen any explanation for why symptoms & outcomes are so varied ? It really feels like there are several strains.

Curlysue76 · 21-03-2020 12:04PM

See a lot of posts giving out about teenagers hanging around in mobs. Is that a big city thing, we live in a biggish town in the west and I haven’t seen any of that. Granted I’m not out much but I do take my teenage daughter out for a walk then a drive around at least once a day and we have just seen people on their own or in pairs. She hasn’t seen any of her friends since last weekend. Some have underlying health issues, her best friends father is a consultant in the hospital and has banned his kids from going into town or having friends over. I’ve talked to my daughter about this and she said she sees all the comments made online but that isn’t what’s happening here. So please don’t lump all teenagers and their parents together. We don’t let them run wild but they don’t want to either.

Exactly. If you wear a face mask and the barber wears a face mask , and neither of you are coughing and spluttering , you should be both ok.

Because other virus and bacterias take a dig too on already compromised immune system?

Or BandQ staff and customers.

I believe they have no covid 19 measures in place in Liffey Valley. I mean zero. Tills operating as normal and narrow aisles packed.

Well done lads.

All non essential shops should be closed. Chemists and and food shops aside.

Most serious cases refer to pneumonia but it seems strange why there are such huge variations.

We are told to socially isolate for a reason.

Barber is not trained to use PPE properly, maybe he is using the same mask all day, mask could be not on properly. Maybe he rubs his nose after washing his hands. Money can be a way of transmission. If someone coughs on the seat and the next customer is sitting there.

Millions of ways it can be transmitted in a barbers.

Up until yesterday the IOC president Thomas Bach been saying "cancellation is not on the agenda", let's see how long that line lasts.
