Only if they cremate the bodies. If they bury them and their juices get into your water supply. It's game over.

Water? It comes out of the tap!

As long as there's someone there to keep looking after the supply.

UK is next, unless the information is being suppressed.

If you were surpressing it you'd think they'd make it believable and drip drip a few more cases around the place. Nobody's going to panic unless there's a big surge like Italy and associated action. The disappearance of Boris Johnson makes you wonder though At least your lot are all over the place at the moment.

Never mind the effing water supply... what do we do when the electricity and the internet go?

We need to see a report on whether or not putting on a bit of weight will help you survive the effects of the virus, by having some spare pounds to shed. If so, our experience of the beast from the east tells us that Irish people will emerge from quarantine fitter than ever versus this malady.

28 South Korean tourists test positive for covid 19 after returning from Israel.
Israel is fecked!

No fear of Ireland testing South Korean tourists though

That'll get you through a 2 week quarantine period.

Already letting 1000 people off that cruise without quarantine has become a mistake

4 Brits on a commercial airliner test positive on their second test which was received after they returned to Britain. Had tested negative the first time round and had no symptoms so were allowed enter the plane with the general public.Though it is unclear whether that had been tested AT ALL before boarding. Imagine how many dozens of other infected people are now walking around Japan from that ship who only had one negative test

Paul Hunter, professor of health protection at the University of East Anglia, was highly critical of the error.

"How anybody would think that you could actually take samples from people to make sure they're not positive and then put them on a plane to tell them a few days later is indefensible," he told Sky News.

Also never saw it mentioned here but apparently the Irish couple on board were evacuated with the Brits

It's not that kind of virus. Stand Cillian Murphy down. If they die, they stay dead.

Nothing to worry about so far. The normal flu kills thousands every year. Covid19 is a pussy to date

Christ, someone mentioned normalcy bias earlier ....

Wonder who the 65 were and why they were chosen for testing.

Methinks there is some kind of cover up or mitigation going on all over now.

As was said by a previous poster December into early January saw a a bad strain of flu in Ireland meant to have been the worst in 20 years Highest number of pneumonia cases also recorded in many years,has not been a peep about this since coronavirus outbreak.
Im not one for conspiracy theory's but defiantly makes me think somthing els is a miss.

question about the Diamond Princess, have ALL the passengers on that ship contracted covid 19 ?

I'm curious what the beast from the east was like as I wasn't in Ireland at the time?

Weekly reports, as usual during flu season. No conspiracy.

Even if the inept powers that be don't deem it necessary to cancel the Ireland v Italy match in early March, most Italians I'm sure with already booked flights and Hotels will still arrive for a getaway, unless flight restrictions to/from Italy arise before that.

2 players and upwards.
Get a sheet of paper and make columns with different categories ie: boys names, capital cities, food, colours, etc
Tell one player to start saying the alphabet in their head then you tell them to stop and whatever letter they land on is the start letter for the catergories
Write down an answer for all catergories and when you’re finished say “stop the bus”. Everyone has to stop writing.
10 points awarded for each unique answer. 5 points if someone has the same as you.

Get someone else to start saying the alphabet and play as long as you like.

Why do the comparisons to flu wind people up so much? A severe flu is the most accurate thing to compare this to in terms of mortality.

We don't have to wait for the HSE, we should be more proactive like these young people in Hong Kong.

They're going to spread the virus by touching everyone with the thermometers the way they're doing.

Italy starting to get quite scary. My partner's boss is going to Italy next week. Tempted to insist he stays quarantined for a month before coming back in to work.
