    Cheltenham should never have happened. Totally irresponsible to have people gathering like that from all over Europe. How many could catch it there and bring it back to their areas, for it to start spreading all over again. Madness.

    Italy was always know for the peck on the cheek greeting I wonder has that made it worse in terms of transmission initially?

    That’s part of what they think.
    Plus it’s likely the virus got in late December and had time to set in while everyone was thinking this was a Chinese problem.

    From a farming point of view, if we have a lockdown on schools/colleges for a few weeks, that would have to extend to the Marts aswell. I know there would be plenty of aul lads who would go for the chat but in fairness a high percentage of them would be in the at risk age group.

    I really hope our professionals are looking at what went wrong in Italy and honestly putting plans in place to head off that sort of disaster.

    From what I've witnessed so far I don't believe they are. They are definitely not looking at what went right in hong kong and singapore and trying to implement that anyway.

    What little faith I had is dwindling daily.

    UK is moving to, delay phase, tomorrow possibly. However, that doesn't seem to mean much as they still won't be banning large gatherings.

    I see Tom Hanks and his wife have it now. Will help bring some reality to it all for USA people.
    I was in a place yesterday in Limerick and the manager sent me and another women back out to use the hand sanitizer. We missed it on the way in. All staff were wearing disposible gloves too.

    Schools, colleges and childcare facilities to close till the end of March.

    Announced Leo as he is in the US to attend the St. Patrick's Day parade. No small gathering.
