That was Dr Holohan on the news and it was within two rows on the plane, not train.

He wouldn't even admit she was on the train, that's just irrisponsibe, they've no passenger seat manifesto for a train and I doubt it was disenficted by Irish Rail, if this lady didn't go to the toilet between Italy and the NI I'll eat my hat. There really trying to keep a lid on it all.

There is a difference between creating panic + total incompetence.

I'm seriously worried that the chief medical officer thinks that any virus can only travel two rows on a plane. The mind boggles.

The presence of a here to unknown virus should have no bearing on hand hygiene, as in it should be common practice anyway. Worrying achieves what?

Of course it should be but it isn't, It makes people a little more conscious of using a blooming tissue and washing their hands.
Some of the stuff on here is seriously OTT though.

What extreme precautions are being taken in Ireland? After weeks of experts telling us that there might be a case in Ireland and nothing to see here.

I agree, our approach has been a bit lax.
This could and should change though, when it's too late.

You do realise said food deliveries are heavily dependent on fully functioning supply chains?

If the person got the train from Dublin to Belfast (ie the Enterprise) the majority of seats tend to be bookings (trust me it's rammed) decent chance they would know where person seated and who in same carriage.

They’ve done the right thing.
They’re contacting people who are in with the known contact infection zone.

The patient has been quarantined. That is lock down.

They don’t need to do anything else.

They are not contacting all people. Chief Medicial Officer said only 2 rows on plane will be contacted. Wtf? That is ridiculous. Also no info about whether their family are in quarantine. It's a joke.

Maybe there are antivirals in the koolaid.

Crikey.

The Dow Jones index of leading US shares has suffered its biggest points fall in history amid the coronavirus crisis, closing down 1,190.95 in New York.

Still flights landing in from Milan and other Italian cities tonight. Laughable.

Yes, you can, but be aware of your employer's policy regarding illness payment etc.

They should already have notified you about this, and what to do if you feel ill.

A poster went up today but it didn't say anything about leave, just infection prevention advice.

Can you afford not to work for 6 months potentially and ride it out

My sick leave wouldn't cover it, but I suspect we're not going to be made come in for too much longer.

I think I'll just ride it out for the next few days (presumably when it spreads countrywide they'll look at closing schools) doing a bit of a work-to-rule and focusing mainly on hygiene. I work with special needs children so it will be a high priority to keep them completely sanitary. It's a huge responsibility. If I were a parent I would be pulling my kids out of school right now, as that's exactly where they're going to get it.

Why everyone, young and old alike, can't just work from home, is beyond me. We all have computers.

It'd be nice if we had a government.

Person would have needed to get to the train from the airport.

I'd imagine that for most cases, a bus would be just as handy from the airport. I'd say there are plenty of express ones to Belfast.

Have other countries stopped all flights from Italy coming in?

It’s a localised out break purely in northern Italy.
Stopping flights from Rome would have no affect for example

Also WHO have recommended against airport scanning and screening as it doesn’t help.

I think we need to cool the jets a bit now.

Alright it is encroaching, but realistically apart from barricading ourselves in our homes with a bag of pasta and a few jars of sauce what can we do?

Kids need to go to school. School open, ok, we need to get to work, PT working, OK.

Honestly take precautions like much more hand washing or something, but until we are told to go into home quarantine, most will just carry on.

Quick question.
I have a bar of fruit and nut in my food stockpile, is it OK to eat it now? Or do I have to wait for a Corona case in the Republic?
