Possibly for a year or so but the hope would be that a global vaccine would be able to beat the virus down.

The idea of humans never being able to congregate again in a group setting would be beyond unthinkable.

Humans are social creatures- social distancing won’t last a year

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm struggling mentally being stuck inside so much. Waiting to be tested, and haven't left the house in 11 days. I'm ready to crack.

You are allowed leave the house even if you are in self isolation. You can go for a walk(s) on your own and you are not breaching your isolation (I was reading this yesterday in an explanation of what to 'self isolate' means). Quarantine is a different thing and is for people who have been confirmed to be sick.

Sat tight for 10 days working from home and generally keeping a social distance having tracked the spread since January. Left the apartment Friday to go meet best friend for dinner in a quiet spot.

Person has been sent for testing showing all the symptoms.

Feel like facepalming myself as I had some reservations in the first place as the same person annoyed me with their it's only a flu attitude.

Ffs stupid. Won't be leaving here for 2 weeks at the minimum regardless. I'm living alone so no problem there.

Has anybody noticed a huge increase in self-appointed smart people recently?

Spain > Italy as of today. It's been coming for a while though.

I do stock count in dunnes and merchandising. Most other calls just order

The company probably won't want any hassle with Dunnes so you might have to keep going there.

The other order calls are most likely not needed. Shoppers seem to be focussed and going for specific items rather that browsing.

You're completely wrong there unfortunately. Check the HSE website. You are not supposed to go for walks alone if you are self isolating.

We'll work around it. Humans are also very innovative. We can socialise while distancing. A simple example is how I go meet my sister's family up the road - I stay well outside the gate while they stay inside. Sure there's no hugs with my little nieces but we can still have a chat.

We've all made mistakes. Don't be too hard on yourself. You're isolating for 2 weeks, all you can do.

It's not really. Your statement is untrue. See below.

Of those for whom transmission status is known: community transmission accounts for 47%, close contact accounts for 23%, travel abroad accounts for 31%.
Official Numbers reported today

So how do you explain that. Travel abroad means Irish people who went abroad and came home and we can't stop that.

I doubt that there's many foreigners coming in.

Business meetings are cancelled, hotels are empty, tourist attractions shut down, Patrick's Day was cancelled.

No reason for people to come here.
Also they're staying at home too.

The claims about foreigners and shutting down airports is just xenophobia.

Really? That directly contradicts what I read in one of the Irish papers - 'self isolation' and 'quarantine' are meant to be two different things

Edit : you're quite correct on what the HSE are saying, full quarantine even if you 'think' you might have the virus

What societal changes do people think will happen when this is all over? Cannot imagine everyone suddenly starts wearing face masks like some Asian countries.
Or do we go back to the same old thing?
It's shown lots of people, for example, can easily work from home - is there any need for 10s of thousands of people commuting to work every day
Will hospitals build in to their infrastructure more safeguards against future pandemics (we still don't know if this thing is going to continue to circulate like the flu or mutate)

Any other thoughts? Normally normalcy prevails in this thread at this time of night...

I was in Japan for work a few years ago and asked why some people wear masks on the street. The answer I was given at the time was that it was mainly people with allergies who did so, and it was very few people who wear them as far as I seen.

Forget about the papers and go directly to the source, www.hse.ie.

There are two guidelines, self isolation and restricted movement.

Don't beat yourself up, it's hard to stay in.

Hopefully your friend's test is negative and you'll be fine.

Same for all of us : not being able to interact normally with other people is really weird

I don't even have much of a social life outside work but it's just plain depressing seeing how everyone else is having just as little fun as I am! Normality is underrated.

The first known death of a child due to the novel coronavirus in the United States has been reported, despite the disease not typically proving severe for juveniles.

The death of a "youth under the age of 18" from Lancaster, just north of Los Angeles, was confirmed in a statement by county health officials.

I think I read of an 18 year old in the UK also a fatality

The symptoms seem to change daily, it is confusing, I assume GPs will decide if you need a test or not by telephone consult

I think high temperature fever and shortness of breath are the two big main symptoms

tuxy · 24-03-2020 11:25PM

Spain is in for a really though time for the next few weeks ( I know it was difficult for them already )

Any signs of what country is the next one in major trouble?

Lads being realistic about this, even with the flu there are more than likely 18 year olds dying somewhere in the world.

Fair play to Simon. He's not well and doing a fantastic job.

Right now we are only getting results from 1350 swabs per day. This is pathetic and we will only see ~5 >20% of these testing positive which means unless we take the finger out of the arse we are blind to what's really going on

We're testing more per capita than a lot of countries.

By what standard do you consider it "pathetic".

You dont know what you're talking about.

Link? Because if it was indeed true it would certainly be newsworthy so as to impress upon people to adhere to guidelines.

France looks like it's getting worse still. The US and UK will both be in trouble soon. Netherlands not exactly looking fantastic.

Germany - hard to tell what's really going on there re deaths.
