No Trump banned travel from China in JANUARY.
Also the Chinese communist party surpressed vital information for 6 weeks and locked up dissenters trying to spread information. So stop the CCP propaganda ok

You stop with the Trump is great sthick and saying anyone against Trump is pro CCP.

Typical deflection when Trump is totally to blame for sitting on his hands for weeks and creating this crisis in the US.

Dont understand why a son could not walk to a chosen outdoor location and have a short conversation at 3 or 4 metres distance with their mother once or twice a week.

This is all about common sense and not strict rules. People need to cop on and stop the crap.

This is going to be our lives for 2 or 3 months we need to be set goals to be realistic and achievable.

We saw at the weekend what common sense got us....

How long can the virus survive on a swab?

Not sure, but they're not testing specifically for the virus. Markers that indicate its presence are what they're after.

The American people disagree. How about lord Leo letting flights from Italy to pour in for weeks after they should have stopped ? And yes you are parroting the CCP line... for shame

It says no unnecessary journeys on the news. Can I not go for a quick drive in my car and not get out..

But see family.

Non essential business close, what is non essential?

A lot of companies don't know what to do.

Ministers on the talk shows now unable to explain what to do either.

Like I said they just created a rather large communication problem. It needs to be addressed quickly.

All has been communicated and the full details are readily available. You can't go to that level of detail in a press conference.

But you seem determined to be dissatisfied regardless of what's said or done.

We closed schools and asked people to work from home more than a week before the UK did.

Boris was still going with the herd immunity rubbish when we started closing down.

Is it a competition? Have Ireland won!?

Aren't alot of shops essential in some way?

Doesn't anybody think it's a problem that the likes of Regina Doherty, voted out by the people, is STILL acting minister?
And doubtless costing the taxpayer.

Uk, Spain and Italy when at 1,200 cases had approx 30 deaths each.
We have approx 1,200 cases and 6 deaths.
Perhaps the lockdown has slowed the virus?

Maybe we are learning from the other countries.
I dunno, a fragile green shoot. Fingers crossed!

There is a positive from the announcement earlier when the HSE chief spoke. In the early days of this getting into Ireland the contact tracing resulted in approximately 20 contacts per diagnosis. Now it's gone down to approximately 5 contacts. It means that people are distancing themselves away from others and limiting social contacts.

That definitely is a positive right there.

Of the orignal cases the majority of them where irish nationals coming back from Italy.

If you stop all flights from Italy, somone will fly from Italy to London onto Dublin. simple.

Still a heap of business types still open, and many are needed..

US have done about 320,000 tests & are doing about 70,00 tests a day.

the US will probably be a good region to see the true death rate in a few weeks as they should have millions of tests done by then.
10% overall are positive.
28% positive in New York where the virus is out of control.

Not so sure tbh. Was speaking with my line manager who lives in Maryland and she described two people (one family member and the girlfriend of her son) who have symptoms but have been refused a test as they are not high risk...just told to self-isolate

The hipster trend could be over.

Back to the shave head look or the 70s style long hair.

Positive news For the third day in a row, the infection rate in Italy is slowing, down to 8%. It’s the slowest rise since the outbreak began and is now starting to look like a downward trend in new infections.
