I would love to know where these crowd 'figures' come from, every country seems to have different figures.

Same about the indoor/outdoor 'safe' crowds.

Low enough to do some good, high enough that there is a reasonable chance they'll be followed.

Balancing act depending on advice received and temper of a given population.

We Italians thought the same when the first case showed up, or the second, or the 50th... look where we are now.
So please, don't try to be braver or smarter than us. Anticipate it, or you'll find yourselves in the same mud we are in now.
I hope others can learn from what we didn't do.

I was a bit worried in the busy Dunnes earlier, I was looking for one thing that was sold out in SV but I got a few bits. Worried cos there were crowds; I was in and in under 15 mins, used the self service isle, bags instead of a trolley, and then use hand sanitizer when I got back in the car.

That's it now, I'm done with shops. I eat whatever is in the house for the next week or so.

Got any pets?

"For it is before the walls of Minas Tirith that the doom of our time will be decided, and if the tide be not stemmed there, then it will flow over all the fair fields of Rohan, and even in this Hold among the hills there shall be no refuge".

That's where we are folks, the time to see whether we're a selfish narrow-minded bunch of post-colonial westernised ****wits, or whether we're a people who survived near-genocide, centuries of religious, political and economic oppression, and understand that there are entirely other ways of living that you can embrace if you want your loved ones to survive, and for a little while we can do whatever is necessary if it means the vulnerable are protected as best we can.

If you ever sang a rebel song and felt your heart swell, this is what you were singing about: self-sacrifice for the greater good, swimming against the tide, doing the unthinkable. Staying in when you want to go out, telling the landlord/bank to go whistle, looking after your neighbours and washing your fecking hands.

And there'll be plenty of time for another re-read of Lord of the Rings.

People have gone utterly mad. Decided to check Tesco's home delivery slots... nothing before next Wednesday and the stocks will be gone by then. Dublin has gone post apocalyptic already. Madness!

They need to put Nancy Pelosi somewhere safe and we can cross our fingers that Pence and Trump will be out of action for a while .

FFS, it doesn't take a ****ing genius to see where it was going after where China ended up start of last month.

As soon as it landed in Europe, the EU leaders should have already been planning to shut down the EU, its only put off the inevitable.

Anyway, theres no point arguing about this ****, we all need to work together now with respect for each other and stop the worst from happening.

we need social cohesion.

The irony!

Reading the actual research papers coming out of China and elsewhere - as opposed to the summaries elsewhere - experience teaching statistics and epidemiology in university, being a Consultant in the Irish healthcare system with 30 some years of medicine and hospitals behind me and yes, some extrapolation because it isn’t like they’ve done randomised controlled trials on all this stuff.

If I’m doubt feel free to look at what I was called insane for posting ten days ago and where we are now. I’ve been the first person to say a number of things which have come to pass.

In my day job I don’t argue with patients. It is my job to present them the facts, the research etc, leaven it with my own clinical experience and understanding of how research interacts with the real world and then allow them to make their own informed choices.

I’m TRYING to inform people here. If you choose to disbelieve this then that’s fine. I believe I have an ethical and moral obligation to try to inform at this time. I am not, however, going to argue or descend into justifying everything I say to everyone who wants to nitpick it.

You’ll believe what you want to. And now lunch is over and I need to go treat patients.

I wasn't nitpicking - just pointing out that what you are saying differs in tone from almost all government and health organisation pronouncements to date.. That isn't to say that you are wrong. Don't be so sensitive.

I don't choose to disbelieve anything.

I was just in my village shop, they have towers of Bog roll and all sorts of food, like nothing ever happened. If you need anything, look very local, chances are they have everything.

I was in Argentina myself last weekend and there is no restrictions or anything here in Brazil, hand sanitizer is common but face-masks I only seen in Sao Paulo airport. Life continues as normal without concern, I'm afraid it could be another Italy in the making. News coming out of the Philippines an equally hot country suggests the heat is not going to stop this virus.

How long is your trip to Argentina for? I am here 10 days with another 21 days left to run and I am in a dilemma whether to evacuate home or tough it out. The paranoia and worrying about the situation at home is really ruining my enjoyment of the trip however.

Sorry about that, but we have to admit that following the thread is getting an impossible task.
Apologize

Anyway, my advice is still good, do whatever you can to prevent the spread, and if you can, please anticipate your government's decisions.
You could use us as a template, and try to improve it.

Mary Lou at home baking buns. None of these people are leaders.
No word from our president either. Hiding out in his compound

It's bull**** - some fella was peddling that story on twitter yesterday and last week

scamalert · 12-03-2020 4:20pm

this $hit got totally Byblical, ****ing thunder roaring with pissing weather winds, went into town people use anti bacterial whatever crap to rub em off after touching anything, people in shops with gloves handling cash, no ****ing toilet paper - seriously how much do some $hit to need months supply.

I get now kids will be fcking doing nothing for almost a month, most places will close down, all the muppets will storm shops to stock up on ****e they dont need - well its good if ur running shop i guess.

but aside people that should take break, wtf is the idea behind all this, 3 weeks passes many will go back to doing whatever they did, and virus if its immune to warmer weather will still be around for much of the year.

Which really ****s up things, for people who lets say wanna fck off for holidays from this entire hysteria, as seems many not thinking rational at all at this point- as sales wise its peaking even past christmas now in general, so the virus if its out there prob will spread even more then usual anyway.

theguzman · 12-03-2020 4:20pm

The Clayton Hotel is near Dublin airport, it is obviously airline passengers who are seeking refuge there and getting tested. I had it picked as my location to check into upon my own return and then ring the HSE to come test me.
