However, it is worrying in another way. Younger people are causing the spread of the infection in the US, and I guess in turn are passing it on to older people they may live with or be in contact with. This is another unfounded claim. I get the argument to say that travel should only be for essential reasons. This is part of the reason why I'm not coming back to Ireland in the summer, and the reason why my family won't be attending my wedding in England. However, 1 in nearly 3000 people have this virus in the UK. Most of whom are probably already self-isolating. The odds of bumping into someone with COVID-19 even within Britain are pretty low at this stage. It is even more improbable that one of those people will come to Ireland. This thread is more full of fear mongering than facts at this stage. As I said in one of my original posts I definitely won't be coming to Ireland when this attitude prevails amongst a significant number. Don't worry.

If so that is great, if not its worrying. No problem with people going on hols once they self isolate when they come back and act responsible when away

Also - the figures I am using are from the KCL coronavirus tracker. This is based on the data submitted from 4 million app users reporting their symptoms and test results. I'm one of them. If anything this data is more reliable than that received through testing figures.

My uncle had it bad, still recovering from last April, was told only go to hospital if lips turn blue, never tested. Was in a real bad and still can only walk about 500m as lungs not recovered

Spanish Eyes wrote: » Newstalk had a segment earlier on PK and interviewed some of the passengers on the inbound US flights. Some were from Florida and Texas escaping the rising number of cases in those two States, some were coming to visit family and/or their holiday homes. All "said" they would quarantine for 14 days, but given that US holiday leave is at best 14 days per year, who knows?
