    O Leary has said their planes are been made available for all EU countries , repatriation, medical supplies, food deliveries anything that's needed.

    Spain is getting rough, apparently nursing homes are been abandoned with patient left there, which the Spanish army are checking all nursing homes now.

    From reading here, people are starting to panic, there's no need to panic the HSE and experts in Ireland have been level headed and measured.

    What will be, will be.

    Relax.

    Ehh, no, people on here are not 'starting to panic'. They might just be getting a bit pissed-off with people saying things like "chill" and "relax", though.

    While he's at it - he might have a look to see when the rest of us will get back to normal life.... :rolleyes:

    Do wonder about some people at times. .

    I'm pretty sure he meant they should give another time frame of school closures
    (e.g. Schools will remain closed until the Easter holidays, the situation will be reviewed then) for example

    As a student, I would much rather a timeframe knowing how long school will be closed for (as of the current review) than just "hmmm yes schools will remained closed for now"

    both these can be set up in less than ten minutes and then you can log into your works computer from anywhere using any computer.
    You are literally "plugged in" and can access everything as if you are sat at your desk at work
    Can't understand these people saying they are "waiting for IT to set them up:confused:

    TeamViewer is not good enough for remote working. It's too laggy. Grand for troubleshooting, that's all.

    Also most Corporate networks are locked down for security reasons. They are not fouls to open them up with software like that

    And if you have to be in an enclosed space , such as a bus, wear a face mask.

    If true this could mean public transport like the Tube in the UK is an absolute petridish for covid 19. Any links in Ireland to bus transport?

    80 irish medics trying to return from australia ... erm arn't they needed in their jobs in australia?

    Or maybe they feel the burden of duty to their home country. The country where their families live, friends live and which is their home. It is quite an emotive thing.

    I imagine these people have strong value systems.

    You need to speak to the Covid-19 manager then,because nobody else has a clue how long this piece of string is!!

    Grim reports of elderly being found dead and abandoned in some nursing homes in Spain. Horrific.

    Indeed and if the company is supplying government, hospitals, large corp etc there will be a policy in place, as part of the supply contract, that they have a secure monitored network. Many now insisting on 2 factor authorization for remote access.

    Well, I would say that, in the face of this pandemic, if your mind isn't working overtime, then you're a DAMN FOOL.

    China knew about it in December. Didn't they lock up the doctor who tried to warn them. They knew even before that

    He was not locked up... I have looked into the timeline of events as reported in the media.

    30 December 2019,.. Dr Li Wenliang saw a patient's report which showed a positive test result with a high confidence level for SARS coronavirus.

    At 17:43, he wrote in a private WeChat group of his medical school classmates: "7 confirmed cases of SARS were reported [to hospital] from Huanan Seafood Market."

    He also posted the patient's examination report and CT scan image. At 18:42, he added "the latest news is, it has been confirmed that they are coronavirus infections, but the exact virus strain is being subtyped".[2] Li asked the WeChat group members to inform their families and friends to take protective measures.

    One of Li's friends posted his message widely on WeChat (Chinese Facebook)

    December 31, 2019…Chinese Health officials inform the WHO about a cluster of 41 patients with a mysterious pneumonia. Most are connected to Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market.

    January 3, 2020… Police from the Wuhan Public Security Bureau investigated the case and interrogated Li, giving him a warning notice and censuring him for "making false comments on the Internet". Li goes back to work at the hospital.

    January 7… Li contracted the coronavirus when he saw an infected patient at his hospital with glaucoma. He was an Ophthalmologist, and examination of the eyes means closeness to the face of the patient. The patient developed a temperature the next day and coronavirus infection was later confirmed.

    January 10th Li developed a fever and cough which soon became severe.

    January 11, 2020… Chinese authorities shared the full sequence of the coronavirus genome with the world.

    On 12 January, Li was admitted to intensive care

    February 5… Dr Li dies in ICU having been put on ECMO (Heart lung machine)

    Sooo... there was a delay of one day in informing the World Health Organization about the outbreak. The disease was initially treated like a normal spread of disease from animal to human, like a vet getting brucellosis from an animal.

    They did not realize that human to human spread was possible and that the virus was so infectious in December, until after a lot of medical staff had been infected, some of whom paid with their lives.

    I imagine that if a doctor in the west posted a patient's examination report and CT scan on Facebook, there would be consequences here too.

    So much for Trump's lies about delay and cover up.

    Hantavirus is decades old.

    It has a mortality rate of 38%

    If that got out, we'd be begging Coronavirus to come back! But it's much harder to get!

    It cant be passed person to person so its unlikely to travel far.

    i dont think you understand what I mean?

    It's obvious we're not going back for awhile, I think it's obvious. I'm just hoping they give another 2 week time frame and then review the current state of things again like they did literally 2 weeks ago? :pac:

    Is it? Maybe they see Ireland as being in control of the situation, compared to where they are and want to come home. maybe they want to be home in case their love ones get sick.

    Why wait till now to try and come home when Emerites and the likes are stopping flights? These are doctors you say - they should be able to afford flight and come home earlier - not as if they are stranded in Peru and can't afford it..

    I think they were bringing proposals to Cabinet this morning for discussion, and will announce later. I would imagine certainly til the end of the Easter holidays anyway, possibly until the end of April, for the schools. That would be about 6 weeks of a closure, you would seriously hope that the numbers would have levelled off/dropped by then (they should have, going by rough timelines elsewhere). Whether they decide to review or extend for another couple of weeks after that is anyone's guess though.

    Not going to get hung up on it until I recheck the news later on this evening to be honest.

    Dingle fishermen blockading pier preventing foreign crews mingling in the town, and here's the kicker, not letting them land fish either.

    A doctor at one of the hospitals in perth wrote to the Irish Times and said 60% of the medical team on staff during shift were Irish. As other people have said before if it was the reverse and U.K. docs were leaving the Irish system there would be no end to the abuse thrown at them. It's not an emotive issue it's an ethical issue.

    He said “tens of thousands” are looking to be tested every day and he cannot say if any that have not been processed have expired.

    When asked if any completed swabs have expired while waiting to be processed, Dr Holohan said: “I can’t honestly say that hasn’t happened."

    He said a more detailed briefing today will have more information regarding testing.

    Easter holidays pop up in the middle so very logical not to do anything until after those.

    32 imported infections in Singapore today, a majority of those new infections occurred in people that had just returned from the UK.

    We don't even know how many imported infections from the UK we have. The London-Dublin route is one of the busiest air routes in the world.

    I suspect most new cases from now on will be directly or indirectly linked to that route.

    Tesco are asking all fit and able bodied people to stop overloading their home deliver system so those who actually need delivery won't have to wait a week for it.
    People looking for home deliveries when they can easily go and get it themselves are just being selfish.

    Well, Leo actively encouraged that in the speech and some could also be in self-isolation.
