Yeah yeah heard it all before.

So you think the best reaction for your friend is to scare the living daylights out of them and tell them to stockpile food and post stuff like this utter nonsense below?

Yeah yeah. We get it. You're so cool. You don't care. James Dean didn't have nuttin' on you

Stockpiling food isn't really going to help my friend as due to severely compromised immune system, she must attend hospital a few times a week for treatment.

But carry on being a mad-lad. You're a great fella.

Its a passtime for people id say. The end of the world would entertain some clowns.

Unlike the clowns who cry foul over a rugby match being cancelled.

Take the number of deaths in Italy - 17 - and multiply by 100 or 200 to get a rough idea of how many cases there likely are.

Divide it by 2 (CFR) then multiply by 100.

So I reckon you're looking around 850 cases.

Doesnt mean a single one contracted it.

In a confined space. More likely some did.

Supposedly the person infected in NI came from Italy though the republic.

They should cancel all Paddys day festivities now, give all visitors a chance to get refunds etc. No point doing it last minute, a lot of Yanks fly in for that week. Better to cancel now so they can sort refunds etc.

We need to up our game at all entry points, temperature checks, set up isolation centers in strategic locations.

Aer Lingus, Ryanair and even Irish rail on cross border services should be getting a plan in to action.

It may seem like an over reaction but ****s getting serious now.

How in god's name is anyone getting on a cruise ship after the last couple of months.

Spare a thought for all those involved in the 8 or so new cruise liners in the works to be launched this year.

He got it in Italy or on the plane back, theres probably a thousand or so who have just come back from the exact same area on flights since the weekend so tell me again why testing at the airport isnt sensible?

How people are still sticking their heads in the sand about this is beyond me.

What kind of testing would you propose?

My colleague returned from a ski trip in Northern Italy about 2 wks ago. She was mentioning this morn how they had to travel through the worst hit town on way to their hotel. She reckons the quarantine thing is a load of hysteria though. Does our employer not have an obligation to make her stay home? Is the 14 days or so, since she came back, enough time to rule out infection?

Tbh I reckon she's alright (14 days is generally the max, but it can go up to 27)but none of us are doctors here or employment lawyers.

You'd assume a lot of passenger who were on flights from Italy on the day are now contacting the HSE themselves to be tested.
