    Yeah I agree, I mean its mostly stuff you'll use anyway so whats the harm. Pasta, Rice, water, canned goods all have a long shelf life anyway so won't go to waste.

    Water? It comes out of the tap!

    That water needs to be treated to be safe to drink.
    Not safe to drink with the impending collapse of society.

    I'd say it is under reported in many tourist countries

    UAE is on my radar. And many other countries too,

    If airports remain open into UK and elsewhere, well that is a kicking for self isolation. Will not work IMO.

    UK is next, unless the information is being suppressed.

    Why do many cases in Italy I wonder? Numbers way higher than other European countries. Could it even be hand shaking at mass ( if they still do that there), shot in the dark but numbers so high you’d wonder why. Should be doing more preventative stuff here though hand sanitizer in all shops, schools, public spaces etc. A friend is a frequent flier and now uses antiseptic wipes to wipe down seat in plane and pull down tray.


    Because they are testing people, this is the result of a mass assessment in some main regions. We have no clue how many carry the virus in Ireland, no tests are being done. I'm home with fever, nobody asking me take a swat

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

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

    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 :D At least your lot are all over the place at the moment.

    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.
