I am wondering how many of the doom and gloom merchants in this thread had the flu jab this season (I did BTW, but then I'm starting to get on a bit....)

Ive never had the Flu Jab, But Ive only ever had the flu once even when living with people around me who tend to get it every year.

Ah no i completely understand it not everyone keeps informed they prefer watching Love Island, and rugby

Anyway i figured be on the safe side if the worst happens which it may not yet but once i seen the directive to build a 1000 bed hospital in Wuhan within a week/10 days i knew it was time to get real.

Well I think people are more clue than we give them credit.

Try buying surgical masks now online in Ireland!

Decided not to go to Tenerife tomorrow. There was 1 case yesterday morning in that hotel and now there are 4 confirmed and a 5th rumoured. Still not sure I'm doing the right thing but my gut says not to go.

It was to be the first trip away together for myself and the other half in 18 months (and the last one was only to the UK), cursing my luck at picking the Costa Adeje!

I really think that the EU should be looking at travel restrictions to slow down the spread but I can't see that happening.

Very sensible and mature call to make.

Can't say I blame you but that sucks.

Any chance of getting any money back?

They were that Doctors traveling companions (case 3,4), if you are in a different Hotel, I'd still go (if you have no one depending on you at home if you did get stuck for a few days extra).

Yes, without any kind of screening on the Irish side.

Yes well done. Need more mindsets like this

As the country hasn't a clue how to inform people what to do. I'm off to Milan myself.

And all that finger dipping on the way in, the haunted bread could also be a risk. They could always install alcho gels at the end of each seating area.

The communion wine could be used as the alcohol dip

Not a hope unless there is a travel advisory issued in the next 12 hours or so - can't see that happening.

I'm also just getting over a chest infection at the moment and did wonder if a doctor's cert advising against travel would mean anything to the Insurers but probably not, I'll ring them later and see.

Suppose to be going down that way myself in a couple of weeks.

As if things couldn't get any worse, Donald Trump is holding a news conference on this later today.

I have a sister with special needs who is staying with us next week. It's one of the things that pushed the decision for us.

It's a different hotel, but close by.

If anyone does not like it I can just ban 'em

The point is though that there are a few people in this thread looking for pretty much a complete lockdown of the State as a precautionary measure. I'm wondering if they were concerned enough about something they could easily have done something about to minimise this type of risk

I hope all the churches do away with offering the sign of peace and shaking hands with strangers. Its vile on a normal day but really needs to stop now. I am not a big mass goer but was at a couple of funerals recently and its still happening

Indeed !....Authorities claim that half of the 900+ cases in South Korea have been linked to the fringe Christian group Shincheonji Church as being at the heart of this outbreak.

At their services in the south-eastern city of Daegu, members likely infected one another and then fanned out around the country, apparently undetected.

Well even if it doesn't hit there. Air travel is still a risk with all people from different countries with connecting flights in the terminals.

:cool:

I did! Get it every year. €15 in pharmacist. Also have the pneumococcal jab, and others.

Not a hope it will go ahead. Talk of the games tonight being called off but it might be too late for that. As a Liverpool fan i'm literally ****ting it that the premier league will be cancelled also. Be just our luck

I think a lot of us are in dire need of some sun at the moment, gutted to miss out. It may well be contained in Tenerife by then, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

ah totally right decision, also if you have been sick too. Try do some extra hand washing, cleaning handles/remotes etc too at home. Bummer but you have to do what's best.
