Is this a hospital or a Chinese 10 day "hospital"?

I'm starting to get a bit nervous about my daily routine for work, mostly because I'm pregnant. Packed train in and out of town with endless coughers. Work in a MNC with lots of staff and visitors coming from every part of the world. I'm doing the hand sanitizer shebang everytime I touch door handles etc. but still feel unclean

Just feel like there's so much risk of catching this and have no faith in our officials to make the right decisions to stop an outbreak.

(On a positive note, we have all our pandemic stocks in)!

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.

They’ve introduced screening because the number of infected people is rampant. I’d be quite sure Ireland would do the same under similar circumstances. Right now I think we’re following the right protocols.

Took a while but eventually got through the last 50 pages... Whoa. Looks like the 4/5 people trying to spread panic have gone to bed. What were the numbers when swine flu was around?

Have a nurse on each incoming flight taken saliva samples of all passengers. Test samples and then notify any positive confirmed passenger.

You think we should test thousands and thousands of people just incase?

It would take days and weeks to get results with that many samples.

Luckily children seem to be unaffected by the virus unless they have a medical condition

Sad part is well all probably die of the pathetic attempts at humour and smart arse jokes and memes posted here yet those posting the crap will be safe in their bedrooms in mammys house cos it’s not like they really ever leave their room and actually meet people.

Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and their health service will have to deal with it, not ours (yet).

Yes people need to put this into perspective we are not at brown alert yet.

We are however on the verge of touching cloth.

Simon Harris is following advice from the WHO and people like the Chief Medical Officer. Have a read of this from NEJM: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2001899?query=featured_home

I've laughed so much at some posts on this thread.

Just goes to show we Irish are full of deflection by humour and it is brilliant. Thanks folks.

I remember a thread in After Hours a few years ago that absolutely blew up.

Here's hoping. Ah no I'm only joking. If 30 % headed on it might free up a house for me.
It's like the postcode lottery
