Am i missing something or what the hell is a doctor of all people thinking going to work with sick people after coming back from northern Italy? The outbreak in Northern Italy has been well publicised

He was doing wit all advice from worldwide experts was, if your not showing symptoms there is no need to self isolate. I couldn’t understand that advice because a person incubating the virus would at some stage become an active spreader and they were relying on people noticing symptoms before that stage, surely a grey area at least.

It was the same situation in Lanzarote with an Italian doctor bringing it there. Except he had the cop on to get tested the moment the outbreak in Italy became apparent. Even though he was already a week on his holiers at that stage.
This guy takes the biscuit though. Seemingly working for a while now since his return to the country. And all the advice from the HSE in the last month was if you were in northern Italy to get yourself tested only if you have concerns.
It should have been mandatory for a health worker in this country to do so coming from an effected place.
But sure we are where we are. No responsibility from the HSE and no personal responsibility taken by the doctor.
Oh and the advice is don't panic.
I have a feeling he had to get tested in the end probably because he started noticing symptoms either in the four affected or worse maybe patients he was treating.

Our glorious authorities tell us of how other countries are bringing it under control. They don't tell of the armed guards on apartment blocks enforcing quarantine in China though.

And we laugh and we scoff at the Chinese wearing face masks and scoff at the price increase in the price of such gear.
The Chinese will be the ones laughing at us now.

There was a doctor on the local radio station this morning saying it's two to three days after contact with an infected person that you can start shedding the virus yourself.
And you may never show symptoms of the virus but be a very active spreader.

Paper money can be a vector in the spread of it too.

This is a big deal.
From this case it seems that it’s been free in the community unknown. This means that god knows how many cases are hanging about out there undetected and possibly spreading.

So many of these these courses are time padded out. This shows it up.

One wonders will they ban large gatherings soon ?

Stopping non essential gatherings sooner rather than later would help slow spread, nothing is stopping this train now.

Listening to Eoghan Corry, being bullish abut St. Patrick's Day Parade going ahead. He is not the medical expert and what number of deaths of the elderly would be find, financially acceptable?

The parades will surely get the bullet

Hopefully Cheltenham is saved but it's not looking good

See NZ feeling the effects of the virus as ports not moving goods and meat backing up in freezers.

Probably hit back to farm gate prices.

The people in China are still eating, hopefully. The warehouses will be emptying but will need to be filled sometime.

No ban on parades or mass gatherings. It seems to go against gut feeling to try and minimise spread opportunities.

For those who are farming in areas that are subject to the new LPIS mapping system, there are information meetings being held to inform about the new system.
