    other countries and providing details of places areas to be careful in, other countries politicians are declaring they have it or are isolating! Why not? It helps people who may have come in contact with that person even unbeknownst to the afflicted

    Politician tested for coronavirus after contact with RTÉ case

    Why all the bloody secrecy in this country? This disease could be at your doorstep but due to GDPR you'll never know!
    Not GDPR, or even our anally-retentive implementation of a well intention but very flawed EU directive.

    Despite all the PC/PR re-branding of '16-'21 as 'the Revolutionary Period', it was anything but that. One very serious consequence has been the continuity of what was essentially a directed Colonial Civil Service under very close supervision from the seat of all power.

    Many of our structural problem lie in the continuity of that corporate culture into the present day. As a culture it focuses on preservation of resources, and centralisation of control at all costs. It avoids preventative expenditures, and ignores consequential costs especially those falling outside of a ministry's siloed perview. It is the antithesis of the whole of government approach.

    We are seen by the permanent government as subjects, not citizens, not to be trusted to be adults, fed **** and kept in the dark as far as possible.

    Of course you could "get all this" from just walking past - every single thing the poster mentioned could easily be observed in the time it took to walk past.

    Just wondering with Harvey Weinstein, how can they release the information that he tested positive publicly, does he not have a right to privacy, or did Harvey lose that right when he was found guilty.

    I guess he was the one shouting about it or maybe his solicitor did as they hope for some compassionate self isolation in home or something like that.

    Remember if you are a young person with no underlying health condition, getting this virus doesn't mean you will be ok, there are younger people with no known health condition who have have died elsewhere.
    Being young and healthy is not a guarantee one will be ok if they get the virus. It has to be taken seriously by all.

    A lot of people also seem to be under the impression that recovery is a 100% thing with no lasting damage.

    They do. Virus is mutating fairly quickly. Let us just hope that subsequent mutations will be less virulent and less damaging.

    I don’t know how true this is, but two doctors have said to me that 10 years of smoking is not a lot to cause a significant amount of damage. This is no word of a lie. I quit after 10 years btw.

    That lad is getting a lot of hammering and it's not very fair. I'm not a fan of him. He was trying to make some sort of a point that didn't come across very well. He was arguing that some places will need to stay open like DIY shops so people at home isolating themselves or maintaining social distancing can keep occupied and he gave two examples of painting/DIY and gardening. You could probably add in a list of other shops that could help people during this time like bookshops and craft shops.

    He made a good point but he lost the run of himself with the whole lettuce thing. And the timing probably wasnt great because that was the day of the big jump in numbers and confirmation of the 3rd death

    No-one is immune to it except for this who got it already. Initially it was reported that children only get it very mildly if it all or it doesn't effect them the way it does for adults.

    It is bad news and disappointting too. Maybe rte might pick up on this and hammer home the importance of social distancing now but it's probably doubtful. They don't want to cause panic in the general population.


    If there's different strains going about in this early stage, isn't that very bad new and more of a reason to close borders all around freight purposes.

    Yeah, now you mention it! Reiterate for n.
    .

    Italy. Late November/early December 2019 were surgeons reporting strange pneumonia cases according to Prof Giuseppe Remuzzi

    recently published in The Lancet) and reported on NPR

    "Remuzzi says he is now hearing information about it from general practitioners. "They remember having seen very strange pneumonia, very severe, particularly in old people in December and even November," he says. "This means that the virus was circulating, at least in [the northern region of] Lombardy and before we were aware of this outbreak occurring in China."

    An Irish journalist asked (at an earlier press briefing by HSE) about similar reports he had heard about cases in Ireland from months ago. HSE said no.

    In terms of food, architecture and general sexiness, pretty far behind.
