These were Irish people coming home. They went out before Italy became a major hotspot. Are you suggesting we should have prevented these people coming home.

They could have been brought home in a controlled manner such as charter flight and then 2 week isolation as happened in the UK and the outbreak in Wuhan. And once that was completed, ban flights to and from the region.

As it stands, people continue to be put at risk including unfortunately flight crew. Madness.

Unfortunately a lack of brain usage is the norm these days,but have at your share prices,and not use a bit of critical thinking,tech companies are having a field day with this,you might see some short term massaging of the figures for useful idiots like yourself to parrot around to everyone and say its not the tech companies.

But they are making massive gains from this absolutely massive,might not show on the share price in the short term but the gains will eventually hit the share price when the initial furore of this blows over so people don't realise who is really making the most profit from this.

This is genuinely the stupidest post in this thread.

Ivo Cilesi, renown doctor in Italy who recently commented in Italian media that he wasn’t too worried about the coronavirus as it was only a “slightly more severe flue”, has died from the virus: https://www.lastampa.it/cronaca/2020/03/03/news/morto-di-coronavirus-ivo-cilesi-fra-massimi-esperti-di-alzheimer-1.38545327

May he rest in peace, and hopefully this can get Italians and Europeans to take it more seriously.

Everything is panic

There will be no economic effects to this at all.

All panic

The drop in the stock market is knee jerk reactions to things that may not even come to fruition. This happens in a bubble scenario. Everyone has one eye on the exit and are contemplating leaving at the first sign that the game is up.

In Dublin city centre at the moment just saw a group of about 15 Italians going into a hostel type accommodation off Talbot Street ..

Absolutely madness letting them come over .

The same feckers clogging up the path at the bus stop outside the Polish shop. People walking on the road to pass them, some things never change.

Was in two Aldi's and two Lidl's this morning there was no shortage of any products that I could see except hand sanatisers and disinfectants.
Plenty of toilet roll. I dont understand the toilet roll thing, its as if the worst thing that can happen to you in the outbreak is having a dirty hole. Surely we can find other ways of cleaning are arse?

I'll better that. I was in 2 Lidls, 2 Aldis, a Dunnes and a Tesco. No apparent shortage of anything...although I didn't go looking for hand sanitizer.

(Before you ask, I was looking for honeycomb!)

Funny enough now that I remember there was a shortage of another product. Very few chocolate chip cookies, I was wondering about that.

Primary school in Galway told to keep 6th class at home today and for next 2 weeks due to contact with a confirmed case
Other children in school recommended to be kept at home too

I did see Jacinta from Cabra wheeling out 2 trollies full of the stuff...

I'm still very relaxed about this, although I have a feeling our numbers may double or even more later tonight when they announce and there will be a lot of hysterical people this weekend.

We've obviously failed to contain this. We actually didn't even really try did we? One rugby match cancelled. People told to self isolate only if they had symptoms.

We also have basically no actions in place to slow this thing down.
The reality is though, most of us will be fine. It will be fairly mild for probably 80 - 85% of people. Another 10% will be more serious. Maybe 5% or less will actually die.

When all is said and done, our world leaders should really sit down together and review this. Put actions in place to stop it from happening again. Wishful thinking on my part!

I'd be fairly sure the source of most of these are directly or indirectly Italy.

I'd tend to agree; I think the real issue at the moment is the long recovery time (median recovery is 32 days; mild versions of the virus take up to 2 weeks) and also testing to make sure it's gone. So people can be ok; but it's hard to confirm it if all the energy is going into diagnostic of peopl with symptoms.

Question is what is "mild"? The mantra of "80% is mild" in media/TV/radio makes me uneasy. It will likely generate complacency in the overall population here "ah sure it's grand it's just mild in 4/5 cases". I believe latest papers from Italy shown only 30% of mild symptoms.

It is a bit of both I’d say.

Clearly there was a bubble largely creates by central banks (particularly in the US) and some investors were waiting to press the button and take profits.

But it doesn’t mean economic consequences won’t be significant. For know we only have some figures on what the impact is for the Chinese side of the epidemics and it is already significant. And the rest of the world still is to take the hit.

There was a very interesting statistic in the previous thread whereby someone outlined the huge numbers Italians that cross the border into Switzerland for work every day.

If you were proved correct with these numbers you are describing a catastrophe.

We all need to play our part in slowing down the spread. Hand washing, coughing into elbow and reduced social interaction. Time is what we need.

It is too easy to blame the HSE, the hospitals and the government.People have been told to take their own responsibility. If you have symptoms, call the helpline, get the doctors to come to you. If, as now seems to have happened, you turn up at A&E or the hospital with symptoms and put everyone around you into self-isolation, that isn't on the HSE, or Simon Harris, that is on the Irish culture of doing what you think is best rather than listening to the expert advice.

No 'blame' applied anywhere.

I gave the current situation as is

Lack of infection control and protocols means that it will be in increasingly difficult for people to access critical care and other hospital services.

Depending on the same system which results in significant queues in A&E and lack of resources is a disaster in the making.

But hey rant away

If it's a proper FFP mask then yes, they're not pleasant to wear.
