Oh great. It was actually the princess diamond cruise ship that was In Sihanoukville while I was there.
Heard it was another.

You're mistaken, it was definitely another.

The Princess Diamond hasn't been to Sihanoukville this year. The closest it ever was to you was Ho Chi Minh City on 8th January.

Going on this thread, this article equally applies to Ireland.

They are effective to help stop infected people passing it on. Not so much at helping well people stay well.

So they are a one way valve then - stopping outbound traffic but not inbound? How's that work?

I wouldn't feel too sorry for him, he's just back from Columbia, it's just a comedown with a sprinkle of paranoia.

Have you been isolating?

If so, since when? Has family been leaving food at your door? Have you been sharing bathrooms?

You're young so I guess you're not so worried but if you do hey a positive result, do you think you could have passed it onto elderly family members?

You mean Cambodia?

To be fair, I usually get ill everytime I return from South East Asia too. Always have a cough.

From what I can figure out they make it less likely for droplets to escape the infected person. The reason they aren’t as effective to stop you catching it is it’s from touching your mouth eyes etc you catch it and having a mask you are more likely to touch face to readjust it.

Could anyone tell me what this actually means? I don't understand stick markets but I know they're spiralling out of control over the virus.

Same type of pattern as yesterday (DJ had biggest day drop in history), and the other 5 days before that.

German stocks are having a terrible time about -4% today, the DAX peaked at -5.2% midday which is just nasty.

A global recession is more or less a given at this stage, good luck!

Traders are withdrawing funds as they see future reduced revenues from companies due to restrictions that may be in place.

In points terms it's one of the greatest drops ever BUT the stock markets are up so high after years of growth that in % terms it's not so significant.

As a trend indicator though it's not good, sign of economic pessimism.

Biggest points drop. Not actual drop

So is the rationale that they are effective, but need to be rationed... or that they aren't effective at preventing someone e.g. travelling on mass transit from getting infected?

Its that the average joe doesn't know how to fit them correctly or remove them without contamination so therefore they are little to no use

Thanks guys.

Very interesting times to be honest. Absolutely can't stop reading this thread and checking the news. The entire planet is involved yet so many people are laughing it off that it's just a flu and they don't care if/when a case is confirmed in ROI.

Traders are taking profit after an astonishing bull run, which is still a bull run even though it's down. Retail investors are in for a kicking in shakey overvalued shares like Tesla. You won't be picking up the Microsoft or Disney's of the world at last year's prices anytime soon. Ryanair is even in the green today, that signals to me this thing is a little over hyped as if it was all doom Ryanair would be in the bin.

Still a 3.5% drop. Stock market could be down by 15% for the week by the close of business today.

The economic impact of this is profound. Although anyone watching this closely for the last couple of months already know this considering we have seen first hand how it has literally shutdown the Chinese economy.

It was the same source as everyone else, the comedian of garda in Dublin.

Taking profits is a bit of a stretch. But would agree that it’s over hyped. It’s what the media do

Microsoft already down at last year’s prices
Disney down at 2018 levels
