    Italy are taking a new approach in the South to stop healthcare workers from getting infected with the disease. - Apparently they have found a way to eliminate any of their staff getting the disease.

    Report below - it's fascinating to watch.

    Advance warning that it's probably the most extreme thing you've ever seen in a healthcare setting - but shows the way forward if you have the equipment and the money.

    103 active cases serious or critical (ICU)

    It's clear as day that the numbers are not cumulative and why people persist with the fallacy, that they are, is mind boggling. It seems some just can't comprehend simple English.

    There has been a suspected case of Coronavirus located in Blackrock, Co.Dublin. Emergency services had attended a house located along the Blackrock by-pass in Temple Road just after 4pm this afternoon. <SNIP>

    Now what I am posting is obviously unverified information. If anyone living near the house wants to say that this information is not true. That is fine with me as long as we are informed about it. When this crisis has unfolded only weeks ago; I didn't want to take the risk of walking outside that house because I didn't want to get the virus spread onto me & onto other people as I went home. I took the instant precaution of turning around straight away & walked back onto another road to make my journey home instead which was the right thing to do under the circumstances. Just a word of advice to you all. If you do see any emergency service personnel outside someone's property on your travels. Just be very careful in avoiding the virus being spread onto you whenever you do see them. Follow the official medical advice from our government & the HSE & self isolate at home immediately if you ever get symptoms.

    Thanks.

    Or just take the advice given and only leave the house for necessary trips. It doesn't make a difference to me if the neighbour down the road has it, I'll still take the same precautions whether I'm aware of that information or not.

    The UK governments science advisors, probably a cover for Intelligence sources, believe the Chinese have probably under reported their figures which may be as much as 40 times worse. Basing anything on China's figures is an absolute waste of time.

    Exactly, treating everyone as if they are infected is the best course of action.

    Think he said the end of next week, and that's important because he also pointed out that in the case of Spain the curve started flattening two weeks after their lockdown, so the UK could see a similar flattening early week, the reality is that the UK will reach 10,000 deaths at some point.

    Seriously what is it with Paddy Cosgrove, I don't follow that guy but I see people retweeting stuff or I see people complaining. I think some people are being a little economical with the truth, no way are so people so many following him with baited breath and then dropping everything they are doing when he tweets. Healthcare workers will know among themselves who is sick, who is not and who has passed away they don't need to have their twitter alerts go on red alert when Paddy tweets.

    I have to agree. There seems to be a certain deference as opposed to asking probing questions. George lee seems to be the only one who has actually questioned further on any answer.

    I had to leave the house today to go get essentials, bread milk etc.

    Holy sweet mother of almighty Jesus

    What dont people get? Groups out jogging, numerous families walking, lots of people just seemingly out. Given the layout of the town the footpaths barely allow 2 people side by side so social distancing not possible.

    Pi$$ed me off

    There has been a suspected case of Coronavirus located in Blackrock, Co.Dublin. Emergency services had attended a location outside a house along the Blackrock by-pass in Temple Road just after 4pm this afternoon. When I was walking back from Blackrock today; I had seen one ambulance & one other car linked with the emergency services stop outside the house. When I was standing near the local Catholic Church (St John the Baptist); I saw the ambulance travel along the by-pass from Stradbrook Road & then doing a U-turn at the traffic lights near Frank Keane Motors. They both stopped outside a house located near the traffic lights around the corner of Newtown Avenue.

    Now what I am posting is obviously unverified information. If anyone living near the house wants to say that this information is not true. That is fine with me as long as we are informed about it. When this crisis has unfolded only weeks ago; I didn't want to take the risk of walking outside that house because I didn't want to get the virus spread onto me & onto other people as I went home. I took the instant precaution of turning around straight away & walked back onto another road to make my journey home instead which was the right thing to do under the circumstances.

Just be very careful in avoiding the virus being spread onto you whenever you do see them. Follow the official medical advice from our government & the HSE & self isolate at home immediately if you ever get symptoms.

    Thanks.
