    Postponing the rugby game is a real pain in the hole, and a big mistake given the importance of rugby to so many people.
    The Patricks can easily be postponed. I would suggest that we have it on the 12th of July this year.

    Rugby is not important.

    Diamond Princess was just an anomaly

    It could well be. Also age profile on a cruise would be in the older/risk demographic usually.

    We had an en mass quarantine in a an area where the virus has just emerged.And we’ve the majority being sent home fine.

    I AM IN FULL PANIC MODE/ FEAR ZONE BECAUSE OF THIS THREAD... BUT I CANT STOP READING IT

    Being informed and ready doesn't require you to panic.

    Im sorry for my part if i made you feel that way. :o

    Be aware not scared. Be positive. Take positive action.

    Drink water ...wash your hands three times a day.

    DO ..don't worry.:o

    I don’t want to sound like an arse which I probably will so sorry.

    Do you think the people infected with the virus who travel to another country and infect that country feel anyway guilty about it afterwards?

    I would.

    You do sound like an arse. They didn't ask to be infected and they may not have known.

    The Agency would not comment on whether the patient travelled from Dublin to Northern Ireland on public transport....The Agency would not comment on whether the patient travelled from Dublin to Northern Ireland on public transport.

    The first case of coronavirus has been diagnosed in Northern Ireland, it has been confirmed.

    The patient, understood to be a female, travelled to Northern Ireland via Dublin after coming from northern Italy in the last 48 hours.

    It's understood the woman travelled to Belfast by train from Dublin.

    Chief Medical Officer for Northern Ireland Dr Michael McBride made the announcement during a press conference at the NI Public Health Agency (PHA)'s headquarters in Belfast

    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.

    We don't ALL go there, you sound a bit Jel there lol. But I reckon you are low level trolling most of the time, enough to get a response, but not enough to ban you. Ha ha.

    Ski trips to Italy only apply to the schools where the parents can afford it for their darlings. Doubt you would see deprived areas affording a week in mid term break in the Italian Alps. But as you say no one crows about it, just gets on with it. That's good isn't it?

    Anyone else who is an adult and goes off to (on) the Piste is fine.

    Can I just technically ring work tomorrow and say "hi, I'm not coming in for the foreseeable because of Coronavirus"?

    Like, I don't really care about work but I do care about staying alive and not killing my immunocompromised family members.
