5000 new cases in New York today, neighbour of mine came back from NYC, wasn't asked to be tested or to self isolate upon arriving back to Dublin.

Put yourself out of your perpetual misery and get off boards.

I've never seen an optimistic post from you, long before this virus came along.

You keep making absurd remarks about infecting yourself without any thought of others being potentially at risk, naturally you'll be subject to mockery.

Have a pleasant evening.

Yes I see lots of people but I also see lots of gaps.

Also quite a few in groups

Have to get a bus in the morning and work in the city centre. Absolutely dreading it. But have to go in. Tomorrow is the first Monday that I will hate going to work for totally different reasons than usual. I know I should be grateful I still have a job. But the constant worry is still there.

Everybody entering is to adhere to restricted movement.

It's hard to see the need for it in Ireland at the moment. Dr Holohan says he is seeing huge compliance with social distancing recommendations and their own private market research is backing this up.

Those demanding it day after day on social media don't seem to have any expert knowledge on the subject or on whether it is necessary.

They're like dogs with bones, very very strange carry on.

Anyone know are the supermarkets selling any dettol type wipes or are they continually sold out? Anyone seen them back in stock?

Big packets in Tesco Liffey valley recently loads of them 8 euro...no one buying them. Rightly so at that price.

Will the recovered or those with antibodies be encouraged to volunteer?

You should ask him to. He's a clown.

So this might trigger some sensitive souls but....

I'm late forties, fit and healthy, My attitude is I want to get the damn thing, fight it off, as a healthy immune system will, quarantine for the recommended time, and get on with my life.

If I get it and recover do I get a badge to say I'm allowed to act normal again?

It's understandable thought, if it was as simple as pitching a tent in the garden, and staying there for a fortnight with what many imagine as a very bad flu equivalent, many of us would jump at the chance;

But it ain't.

The consequences are currently too unpredictable, because there's too high a chance you might end up dead or needing to survive using rare equipment, depriving another desperate case.

Former League of Ireland striker Lee Duffy has revealed he was hospitalised for eight days after contracting the Covid-19 virus.

Duffy (28) confirmed the news on his Twitter account on Saturday evening, outlining how he was unable to breathe without the aid of a ventilator. He ended his message by warning the public against taking the pandemic "lightly".

copperhead · 22-03-2020 09:29PM

its infuriating when you see scenes as we have all seen on social media today , we are in the middle of a global pandemic and some irish people are not taking this seriously, we have had all the warning and seen the images of devastation from around the world, it boils down to personal responsibility, and this thing of oh well its only a bad flue is the greatest load of nonsense

Your attitude will probably kill you if the coronavirus doesn't.

Underlying health issues are not always "known". Irrespective of that, plenty of healthy people have died that did not get a "mild" dose. A health immune system is no guarantee that it can fight off double viral pneumonia.

As much as you'd take one for the team, there are no guarantees that you may come out alive, or after recovering would be immune to it, or indeed be allowed to just get on with your life, which might be limited if you did have to get intubated anyway.

He wouldn't be asked to be tested, we aren't randomly testing people.
It's been publically broadcast everyone returning to Ireland is to limit their movements for 2 weeks

It's a difficult call.

What is essential and what is not?

Farmers can hardly keep going without the co-op shop for supplies.
Elderly need fuel supplies to keep the house warm.
Mechanics needed to keep essential vehicles running.

etc. etc.

Italy first case Jan 31, by Feb 28 they had 650 cases so 28 days.

Ireland first case Feb 29 today we 906 cases so that's 22 days .

This is really frightening .

Means nothing without figures of how many were tested on the actual dates.

fr336 · 22-03-2020 09:32PM

Do you guys reckon that if you're over a certain age or have underlying conditions you're pretty much guaranteed a hospital stay? Is this a stupid question?

c.p.w.g.w · 22-03-2020 09:32PM

Is there any mechanism for reporting folks who have recently returned from a hot spot, but are continuing to work with the public?

2 folks returned from Brazil within the last week, both working in a local Spar/Centra. The shop owner doesn't care much and is surely putting the general public and other staff at risk by having them working?

I'd imagine the bus will be nearly empty

Every day there is another miracle cure for it - don't believe any of them til it goes mass market.

The Chinese have been testing that on their "in a bad way" patients for some time. Recovery down from 11 to 4 days from when I read about a while back. Shares in Fuji shot up.

Chances are you'll be one of a handful on the bus.

They've been practically empty all week

New York has more cases than the whole of the UK!

Keep making? I posted the opinion once about 15 minutes ago. I'm not being mocked. Serious posters are giving serious responses. Only the usual clowns like yourself are laughing behind your hoofs.

JP Liz V1 · 22-03-2020 09:33PM

I do have to laugh at people complaining of others out yet they are out too, if we don't go in large groups and keep social distancing we can all get out for a walk, some fresh air but maybe time has come for stricter lockdown only one out for groceries and medicine, the bare essentials
