The question is. Will Irish people self isolate. Even with symptoms?

I think we already know the answer to that.

I just based it on swine flu, bird flu and SARS which were all flu viruses like the coronavirus so yeah, I did actually base it on something. Read the post.

But stick to being an alarmist.

He is not being an alarmist.

God would you ever educate yourself about other countries. Ireland is not the centre of the universe.

Can you imagine if one of those research bases gets it? Will be worse than cruise ship.

Not really all the information he wanted to get out he did.

His information is verified and real without leading back to that person.

We still have the hand sanitizers in UCC from the time of the swine flu - they just refilled them again a few weeks ago.

I’d bet real money it’s here and we’re purposefully just not testing for it.

Hopefuly the surge in Italy is as much to do with the amount of testing they're doing as anything. The downside to that is if other places did the same, they'd probably have similar numbers. So on the one hand, it's probably everywhere. On the other we're still here.

I think no matter what advice the HSE or the Gubberment give. People with symptoms will still go off to work, pub and shops out of ignorance.

I don't live in Ireland anymore and I travel across Europe every week.

Ireland is no better or worse than any other country.

There are hand sanitizers at every airport I travel through.

Why should the government pay to have hand sanitizers in churches?

Oh I completely agree. We are a very self centered nation. "I'm alright Jack" wouldn't look out of place on our flag.

Once it gets to about 20, it's a long battle. Simply too much detailed trace back required to account for all interaction risks, instead plan ahead:

Germany, which has around 20 cases, said it was already impossible to trace all chains of infection, and Health Minister Jens Spahn urged regional authorities, hospitals and employers to review their pandemic planning.

Might be a stupid question, but if you get this virus and come out the other side of it , can you just catch it again or will you be more immune to it?

Not sure but I’ve heard of relapses.

No. Many won't they'll say it's a cold or nothing to worry about. They're too busy or too important or something etc etc.

How did the world beat SARS?

And will we be able to beat this one the same way?

We'll be grand so. We're not doing any testing so won't have any cases. Job done and ye can all go home now. Panic over :pac:

This appears to be an order of magnitude larger in terms of its spread, either because it is genuinely more infectious and / or it got a head start. We’re going to contain till we can cure I’d say.

Every morning/afternoon I get on a packed dublin bus I feel like those fella's in Chernobyl who had to go into the flooded underground tunnels to turn off the valves

I know what you mean but there is funny way of reading this also.:D

Honestly all joking aside I've followed this story very closely since it broke and even though I'm prepared for it as much as possible I'm genuinely worried for what this will do to our country IF it is aggressive as in Wuhan. People simply haven't researched the sheer effort China has put into stopping this it really has been a war time level of dedication to stopping it.

I sincerely hope I am wrong and I'll gladly have the p1ss ripped out of me.

It's a good question and I saw it asked on one of the BBC's pages. The answer they gave was:

Nobody knows for sure. Initially you would expect the body to remember how to fight the virus, but this "memory" can wane, and it is uncertain how long any protection might last.
