thats the problem with too many warnings, no one will take them seriously. should be a red warning or nothing

A lot of garbage being posted on here from rumours of where this case is, rumours of 500k dead from the virus in China to cheap jibes at the HSE.

I can't believe people think the HSE haven't been planning for this for weeks. F**k sake, public health is their job/responsibility. Of course they'll have been planning for something that's been major news for over a month.

I'm not looking forward to all the nonsense over the next few weeks.

And we have absolutely no idea what the true death rate of this could be as mild cases aren't even been reported. Could be as low as the seasonal flu all said and done.

Not disputing that, in fact it dawned on me that there may be a stigma to it too now so people may not even want to call for advice.

The problem with that, is what defines a verifiable news source. You potentially leave it open to the state to manage & control what can be reported. Not a good idea.

You know pretty much anything that isn't whatsapp or a friend of friend of my brother who drives a taxi for the HSE head

They're not usually so open about it though. It's literally like "it's only the old ones" aka anyone over 50. It really never used to be like this.

Give it a rest. No-one is saying anything remotely like this except very clearly in jest

Because remembering what county you live in and three pretty obvious colours is tough

No can do, no alcohol can be sold to the kiddies after 10pm, they can't be trusted to go to bed. Another fine fg policy. Yay.

Great call. The thread has become a farce

I disagree with this, verifiable information will be hard to come by and out of date by the time it's verified in a fast moving situation?

The HSE has had oh i dunno 20 years to sort the trolley crisis out and you think they can handle this??

Yes but has any other country remained at only one case for an extended time? There might be but I wouldn’t be so confident of that fact next week.
That’s what I’m saying. This WILL spread.
I’m also saying this isn’t a death sentence. The majority will only get mild symptoms. However some will get it more serious.

I doubt it,but it wasn't realistic that we would have no cases imo.
We will in all likelihood continue to copy what the NHS are doing and hope it limits the spread.

Could be, but all we can go off is the who death rate of approx 2-3%, which is multiples of the flu death rate. At a 1% death rate that would be 10 times more lethal than the flu.

That's not the death rate though. It's not even the reported death rate in Wuhan where they suspect it was inflated anyway because there are thousands of unreported cases. The death rate elsewhere has been much lower.

Yes it's more deadly than flu but can people stop pushing fake numbers because it only encourages panic.

That's not China.

That's Moore Street after someone is told they have to spend a night in the Mater Hospital under the care of the HSE.

They will be brought to the Mater because it's the first line dedicated isolation unit.
So will anyone else diagnosed in the eastern region until it reaches capacity.

Ah, thanks for confirming. I have no real interest where exactly he is/was treated.

I've no idea if they can handle it. Like every poster on here, I don't know enough about it.

But it's absolute nonsense and cheap point scoring to doubt that they've been planning for the arrival of coronavirus over the last few weeks as some posters seem to be doing.

oh now we want to take a look at everything that happened in China. It was a disaster zone, 40,000 medical workers flown in there just think about that.

We will have to put the pressure on our government or we'll get a South Korea on our hands. German and French health ministers threw up their hands after 50 cases, which is not an option according to the WHO.

Hey it's Saturday night, most of us trying to relax now and have the craic.

Might be different on Monday (you cannot get sick on the weekend as we know) but we will deal with it.

Well at least back up any statement with a source. That should slow things down a bit.
