    They should have mandatory quarantine for planes coming from infected countries.

    Oh Lord they probably got a bus from the train to the airport as well. :(

    What?

    People travelling between Belfast and Dublin Airport do not get the train.

    Not enough ventilators, not enough beds, not enough staff, not enough doctors, not enough nurses etc...

    drones.

    Have you ever heard how annoying the buzzing is from one drone flying overhead?

    Remember the vuvuzelas during the world cup? Imagine what a sky full of them would sound like.

    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?
    :o

    Not safe to eat, you should have bought rum and raisins.

    Save the nuts man, save the nuts. Protein and fat. Fatty.

    So I was sitting on the bus just reading a book when somebody tapped me on the shoulder.

    I turned around and saw an old lady. She said to me, "Sonny, would you like some nuts? I've got a couple hazelnuts and almonds if you'd like."
    "Sure.", I replied. Then she gave me a handful of nuts and went back to sit with her friends.

    "What a nice lady", I thought, while happily munching on the nuts.
    A few minutes later, I felt another tap on my shoulder and there she was again, offering some nuts. I gladly accepted and she went back to her seat.
    After about 10 minutes, she tapped me on the shoulder, once again offering some nuts.

    I asked her, "Why don't you eat them yourself?"
    "Because we've got no teeth", she replied.
    "Then why do you buy them?", I asked.
    "Oh, because we just love the chocolate around them."

    Can do that there as the mothers are predominately stay-at-home. Here, closing the schools would just redirect hoards of kids to childcare. So no benefit
    Quick Google 70 percent of Japanese mother work.
    Probably higher here true, but still seems like a possibility here to me

    ALL air travel needs to be stopped or at least screened into all airports. Ditto for Seaports.

    Schools are probably the most contagious part I'd imagine especially younger kids and creche as they would have more contact with other kids and parents.

    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.

    As already stated, this is a misleading statistic. It needs to be looked at percentage-wise. It doesn't even make the top 50 at that.

    Agreed that alleged video of the Clayton Hotel was actually an office building on Sir John Rogersons Quay and we don't know when the video was shot.

    This was Going around yesterday.
    As was a Maldron
    As was the Gresham

    There are no cases currently confirmed in the Republic of Ireland. There wasn’t 24 hours ago. There isn’t right now in any hotel in Dublin

    People need to get off twitter and whatsapp

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

    "flatten the curve"
    Not really, i have been following the virus since the first "official"announcement in January and i know for a fact medical suppliers here had restrictions in place and would only sell applicable stock to licensed medical professionals and institutions due to the virus. Maybe the lack of checks at airports could of been better but probably futile anyway. We are not China, we cannot build a jospital in 7 days nor 4 years!! What we can do, is slow down the rate of infection via communicating to the public about hygiene and precautionary measures. The HSE are doing this and obviously momentum has now been stepped up - pretty good effort really. The nightmare scenario is with having many people in critical condition at the same time, we would struggle to cope as would many countries so lets try and slow it down (if there is an outbreak )it will be more then of an outbreak in stages and not a peak of critical people. The real worrying unknown is reinfection, what is the impact as in is it worse etc, hopefully we get more information about this particular point soon.
