Louise O Reilly needs to make a statement right now. She is the next Min for Health under SF if they can form a Government.

Bet they are exhaling slowly now with relief that the cannot.

Sorry for derailing, back to the Covid19. Are we safe?

No just no, we need a healthy minister for health, no more roly polys or lads that look live they've just been dug up.

And they're not going to give information as to where it was. Seriously, they need to just come out and say where it is, where they were and get people who may come in contact to self isolate. Theres a choice of voluntarily locking down places as oppose to having to do it because it's gotten out of hand

Plus they still seem to be insisting that it is off low risk transmission risk, where are they getting this info from, do they they not realise the disease is spreading because of transmission.

First off it's not a flu virus. If you are saying that I don't know where you are getting your information from but it's completely wrong.

Did any country react to swine flu the way China reacted to the breakout in Wuhan?
Do you think China reacted in that way because of a media hysteria?
Why, therefore do you think the higher level of global reaction to this virus is because of media hysteria?

Might be something to do with the 20× plus death rate that Covid-19 has vs Swine Flu...

If it's anything like the last few we'll be playing cluedo again

I think most people know it's here and are oblivious to the hype.

They want to know what might happen if they contract it. But how would they know really.

Think it depends on your political/medical contacts right now TBH. Sorry if I am wrong about that.

Right, so it’s here. Let’s deal with it.
What are other governments responses to it?
Japan, all schools closed till end of March.
Italy schools closed until end of next week at the earliest.
Uk, emergency legislation to be brought in to deal with c19.

What will the Irish government do? In fact my understanding is our outgoing government IS our government at the moment, which makes Leo’s silence unbelievable on this really.
What measures will they bring in, cause there’s no way this won’t spread, its spread in every other country in the world, bar north Korea “ahem.”

HSE trying to convince people that they have been preparing for months :rolleyes:

Really sick of this. That almost all fit and healthy people will recover was never really in doubt. The doubts are for those with manageable illness who would never have otherwise died in a flu season, or frankly anyone over 50. The more you age after that, the more at risk you are. So yeah I'm guessing you're in your 20s or 30s. Nothing to see here. P.S. 21 year old athlete died yesterday.

We will do the exact same things but not until there is a high number of cases.

France has banned all events with more than 5000 people in 'confined' spaces.

Mater hospital isn't it? There were rumours about a case there two days ago.
