    This confirms my suspicion all along....

    Not capable of having logical thought!

    Tone down the Islamophobia please.

    But for whatever reason what came to mind watching this is, if this was the 1980's we would all be having the local priest around to bless our houses to help against the virus instead of storming lidl for beans and soap.

    My asthma is quite bad, would I be more affected by the virus than the average citizen? If I don't sit my exams, it will set me back almost a year, would I be stupid not to sit them when there has only been two cases confirmed in Ireland?

    You are high risk. Talk to the relevant people about deferring, doing them from home or some other option

    Actually here it is.

    On the 9 o'clock news all they would say was the person was from the east coast, heard Harris on Playback this morning about the passenger who passed through Dublin airport a few days ago on route to the north, you'd swear he was being asked to divulge the third secret of Fatima. It's not like AIDS in the 80's. We're not asking for names what's going to happen when 1000 people have tested positive? Will they still be trying to keep a tight lipped

    One thing about the school ski trips to north Italy:
    The death rate in 10-19 year olds is 0.2%. You’d imagine those school kids would be grand. However the question is can they become healthy carriers of this virus who can effect more at risk groups?

    I think this poster seems genuine and the account is over two years old.


    Drip feeding out bad news on a Saturday evening not to cause panic and chatter in work sound like something the HSE might do.
    Are you a multi of his?

    The way this is going traditional exam halls are unlikely to happen

    From what ive read, people with even no symptoms can spread it. Which would be a nightmare.

    On Italy demanding northern areas change the rules on testing...

    The last figures today were equally as bleak as the last with the new regime which tells you all you need to know really.

    The Mater is the only hospital in Dublin set up to handle this. They recently announced that they have set up a 6 bed ward to handle Covid 19.

    People were posting about something happening in every Irish hospital at some stage during the week. Stop with this BS please.

    Well, good jaysus. That’s quite worrying.
    However it’s not a death sentence if anyone gets c19. That message needs to be reinforced. There’s a lot of people panicking.

    That means their testing equipment must be a 48 hour test until confirmation of positive.

    I'm going to close this thread and open the new one up without all this conspiracy talk cluttering it up

    If anyone has a reliable source then fine - post that source. If not do not claim your word on this site is better than anyone else's or that your claims carry any weight whatsoever
