Cases at the airport as well.

The only cases at the airport are suitcases :D

I 100% understand that you cant screen every flight etc coming in.+ dont except screening at airport.

However if someone tests positive on a flight everyone of that flight has to be tested not just two rows.

That's actually incompetence. Of course they won't do it because they cant handle it if say 20 or 30 people on the plane test positive as nowhere to put them.

I hear it’s like having a runny nose and that the flu is 200000% worse.

Also there’s a media blackout because all of Donegal has it now.

No source of course, just wait and see.

You've made the same point at least 3 times now. Will you give the conspiracy theories a rest?

Some good news for those who were worried about this :

"WORLD RUGBY HAS confirmed that if the Ireland-Italy game is never played then it will have no impact on their ranking points system, which determines the seedings for the 2023 World Cup."

This is NOT fake news. Link and all :

Yeah but how will it affect the 6N points? I’d much prefer we played it, we won’t lose to Italy.

You may as well steer clear of the Chinese aswell if that’s the case

That's a definite. The local Chinese up by us is lovely and the family who run it are great but they are a large no of them and at least one of them is back and forth to China. So won't be going there for the near future. Shame cause they do a quality aromatic duck

I hear Daniel o Donnell took it back from a cruise ship he gave it to majella and they are both super spreaders in Donegal.

Anyone can really make up any oul sh#te on this thread

Sounds like ****etalk.

Nope, it's true.

Might be some journalists on this thread that can confirm that there are regularly blackouts for certain incidents.

Front line worker here. Am I worried not hugely Except for my parents. Am I booking holidays? No but because I don’t fancy being stranded abroad. There are “potential” cases in nearly every hospital in Ireland. Ours tested 8 yesterday all negative. Letterkenny apparently has the most likely case. Anyway it will happen, hopefully ppl won’t get too sick and we will do our absolute best in the hospitals to try and keep everyone alive.....just wash your fecking hands!!!!

I like it. Brilliant thanks.

But I may be accused of minimising the impact of this virus, but what the heck. Humour helps at times too.

I heard Daniel O'Donnell is on one of the cruise ships not allowed to dock - here's hoping.
Majella is not worried

27th March / That's now 16 cases of Corona in the UK, with zero people affected here (yet)!!!!

Give it another week or ten days and things may very well change here :-(

A group returned from Madonna di Campiglio last Saturday which I don’t think is in the list of affected regions in N Italy.

I’ve heard a few were coughing and spluttering during the week, could be just a cold or whatever but you can’t be certain. I’ve also heard other stuff but I don’t know if it’s 100% accurate.

Just for a bit of perspective, even when the disease is confirmed in ROI, the probability of you actually getting it are very low. Even if you do get it, the probability of actually dying is also very low.

Likely to infect 70% of this country in the next 18 mths, 20% seriously ill.If we dont slow it down the Death rate could be as high as 8% possibly. These look to be worst case scenario numbers I admit but entirely possible

Wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the 6 nations games are postponed also.

Ah sure just dump everything here everyone else is.

Why are people getting banned for posting unverified claims of the illness in Ireland yet clowns who have been spending the last couple of weeks posting "I hope this isnt true but (insert wild unverified hysteria here)" are left at it?

As a journalist, I have to say that I am shocked at the lack of evidence to back up claims. What's worse is this new online publication WhatsApp which is worse than the Daily Fail.

I can only thank this post once but I'd do it several times if I could. Not just with coronavirus but just most things that happen. I'm sure my friends and family don't mean it but the amount of "I heard this from someone" I get starting messages as if that's an iron clad source and the stuff I'm told is true. It's one of the drawbacks of social media and technology is that people can transmit info way faster and the info may be complete rubbish.
