Cue the hurricane of What's App messages when the first case is confirmed in the ROI, I'll be switching the phone off.

Nevermind the HSE been ready. I hope the mobile networks are, cause an outage the amount of traffic generated!

Common sense and open ears is advising that maybe 1 out of 5 will have problems. Also that it’s more transmissible than normal flu and bugs. If it takes real hold, that’s potentially 50,000+ citizens in difficulty. We’re not the Chinese, we can’t just shut down say all access to Dublin. It takes us 10 years to build a hospital, not 10 days. We are right to be concerned and demand appropriate action.

Do you honestly believe we will have anything like those numbers?.
There has not been a massive explosion in UK since they got a few cases I think we will be same.



I think calling a load of portacabins thrown together in 10 days a hospital is a stretch.




In fairness half our schools seem to be portacabins so we can't talk...

Great article in The Economist, which is not known for hyperbole, that they ought to read in the HSE:

“In public health, honesty is worth a lot more than hope. It has become clear in the past week that the new viral disease,covid-19, which struck China at the start of December will spread around the world. Many governments have been signalling that they will stop the disease. Instead, they need to start preparing people for the onslaught.”

Screening is a waste of time in most cases, infected people are symptom-less passing through airports. There's a reason health officials are trying to focus their efforts on identifying people with actual symptoms in the community and not focusing entirely on ports of entry.

Not that old hoary chestnut?

You better tell that to the Chinese and the Italians who have now introduced screening of all travelers at airports etc

People can be either symptomatic or symptonless. Screening will at least help identify the former.

But fek it that might cost money right? Harris is an eejit.

Why 50,000 and why 50,000+? It could easily be 10 or 100,000. 40% of all people know that.

Number of cases in Switzerland rises to 9 in 24hrs including a child minder.

A number of children have been taken for testing and isolation.

Right at your Door is another to watch.

We should make a list of movies to watch while locked in isolation

My point was no one else has really done it at all.
No way Ireland would stick it's neck out to ban flights from Italy at this stage.

If it affects a significant majority quickly, what type of impact could that have on the work force? Could be serious in that sense if lots of services are on skelton staff or just closed.

Do you reckon we might build a hospital in the next 8 days?

You spelt years wrong.

If the WHO are to be believed then there is no large amount of hidden cases. They said it at their conference and was posted in the thread yesterday

Was anyone listening to the radio this morning on about a school in Cork sending kids skiing to Northern Italy on Saturday? Still going ahead by the sounds of it.

I think I'm going to try and be a Negan type character when the 'end of the world as we know it' hits in a few days. If I get a posse together quick enough, I think I can do it.

It's cheaper to have dead people, right?
