I was in LIDL earlier and a little indian kid was coughing. Needless to say I kept well clear. Well done boards. You've turned me into a racist.

Biggest drop in history!

It’s incredible that the media (investment focused) phrase it as a drop based on CV fears... I’d have thought it had more to do with business fundamentals such as China being “switched off” for over 4 weeks now, airlines and hotel companies likely to go bust and huge impacts in consumer spending on luxury items (initially China, soon to be the rest of the world)... no apparently none of that, just fear affecting the Markets lol...

Duke of Url

She’s in the country 48hrs and self isolated which I suppose a bit of good news from a bad situation.

So with the first Irish case, on a Chinese timescale we are now at the end of November. Would you agree? If not why not?

Way too many variables to predict that!
Resources, culture, travel, climate, governance etc.

All of these factors feed in to epidemiology, not just the nature of the virus itself, which is also uncertain and constantly changing.

It's what makes epidemiology such an interesting thing!

One thing this whole corona thing had flushed out is how the whole country seems to go skiing in Northern Italy in February. And I dont. I didnt even know that you all did. Thanks a bunch for keeping me out of the loop on that one. Frickin furious.

Irish chief medical officer on rte news just said they'll contact anyone who was within 2 rows on the plane as thats close contact.
Nothing changes and the person followed all guidelines

The new virus was discovered mid December time, tell a lie it's 1st Dec (the one without the possible market infection)

No it was the end of November. No point arguing over a couple of days though, so let’s just say the end of November!! 😂

True lol.

But seriously, I think piss takers should not go anywhere near this thread anymore. Their posts will fool some people into a panic. Gone past the point of jokes and banter to be honest.

I'm fine thanks, I just find it a pain that some people seem to think it clever to keep posting doomsday trip in the thread.

Postponing the rugby game is a real pain in the hole, and a big mistake given the importance of rugby to so many people.

Yeah but you have to balance that against the importance of not dying to a lot of other people. So, swings and roundabouts...

Would it be a good idea to have a sticky on the forum? With information on what to do if yo have symptoms etc?

And to bank anyone trolling or spreading news they made up by themselves?

It's really not a laughing matter and spreading fake news really can cause a lot of people stress who may not realise the post is complete crap.

Said it days ago this is current affairs not after hours some of the rubbish being posted is a disgrace.

Will Trump blame the democrats for the drop like he did during his press conference ??? The world needs a better US president then him right now

130 people in Tenerfide hotel have been released and cleared.
So the majority WERE NOT infected. While in a hotel sharing spaces with an infected person.

Yes it is worrying that it is here, but this doesn’t mean we’re all F-Ed it all going to get sick. Nor is everyone on that plane or bus now a carrier.

It sounds like this person has handled themselves very well and has limited contact very well.

It’s going to get places, but there’s no reason to panic or to suggest this is going to be anyworse than it has been in the UK

Really? Virus doesn’t seem to discriminate. Surely it’ll spread from one person in Ireland to another the way it did in China?

Within 2 rows? Is that the established practice for this?

Anyone know?

So if someone else has it within the two rows they go a further two rows?

Not confirmed in Dublin yet and I think the population of Dublin is a little under 10 million.

The population of Ireland (ROI) is close to 5 million, Dublin (City and county) has less than 2 million

No, social factors very much influence epidemiological metrics like R0 and cfr.

I updated my earlier post.

well, with knowledge, precautions, and not being in a city of over 10 million people, hopefully it won't be just as bad

Seems a bit mad, must have been loads of places she came in contact with, surley it would be prudent to contact all the passengers just to confirm there ok.
