Italy banned flights form China 21 days before their cases took off from 3 to 23. How did that work for them?

So. Have they traced the source of infection? Also I posted research from lancelet indicating instances of 21+ days incubation.

This is different to an approaching storm, the shops will be restocked over the next few days. It's just a pity people hadn't been throwing in one or two items over the past few weeks, rather than shoving everything into their trollies at one go. We need a public education campaign showing people how to stockpile properly in a way which doesn't cause shortages.

In my mothers time, houses used to have pantries/larders with a stockpile of food that lasted a while as a matter of course.

Somehow, that seems to have become lost knowledge.

Interesting scientific report on Sky News that even dramatic Chinese type restrictions might initially reduce the spread of the virus but there's no guarantee the numbers wouldn't spike again next autumn.

The good news is though they think the numbers should fall drastically once we get into summer, no matter what approach the authorities go for.

So how would banning flights or two weeks quarantine help now?

Yeah I never understood the health authorities here saying its low risk when you see it sprouting all over Italy, Iran and everywhere else. If the WHO is saying it could last through the summer I can imagine all festivals will have to be cancelled and suppose I could do with a lay year hiding in the corner of my bedroom isolating hahaha.

But it currently is a low risk.

What's with all the mentalers convinced the HSE are lying to us? And I'm not quite sure who's pulling the strings either, the HSE, big business or Leo himself.

FG/Varadkar/Harris/Holohan/HSE determining that setting up a table at Dublin Airport to hand out leaflets to travelers in from Northern Italy was the most effective preemptive measure to save lives

I have heard both Irish and UK medical experts say screening at airports is useless. It can be in your system for 14 days before it shows, and remember that governments take advice from people who know what they are talking about.

But hey, don't let that get in the way of your anti gov rant.

Just putting a marker up here. Heard we've had our first death. Hopefully it's just fake news. Just wondering if that's doing thevrounds

Italy were also one of the few EU countries which banned flights from China early.

The scientists told us travel bans wouldn't work, and countries went ahead with them anyway. It's ironic (in an unfortunate way) that Italy becomes the first EU country with a significant outbreak, but it just shows that the science was correct.

Israel banned flights on same day. 21 cases.

In Italy, it all kicked off after hospital staff messed-up, while in Ireland... oh... wait... Limerick...

Fair enough you acknowledge that this is totally unconfirmed.
But can you tell us where you got the info from?

You hold a press conference at 8pm and present figures from a report you received earlier in the day - so how much earlier - midday? The report itself is based in in test reports provided even earlier.

The Irish Times article is closely matching the numbers I am hearing so the media is getting more up to date information.

What article?

Imagine how much worse it would be now if they hadn't?

Temple bar getting busy, just like normal Friday night. See above live webcam. Virus down the road at Trinity not stopping tourists.

Looks very quiet to me for a Friday night!

Do you mean that there are a lot of new cases that haven't been confirmed and reported yet?

Yes - I am talking about cases admitted into isolation units. I am guessing they are not counted today as their tests results came in too late to be included in the press briefing. The briefing mentioned something about time cut off but I did not catch what was said.

In addition, no mention of mid west medical staff told to self quarantine as a result of earlier reported incident.

My sense of what we heard tonight is a picture that existed around lunch time.

It'll happen eventually. Keep saying it each day and when it comes through you will be a visionary.

The RTE report of the 22 cases.

Edit: Sorry I thought it was an actual report.

Ya, the panic buying of stuff in shops is selfish and stupid. Why would there be a shortage of loo roll ffs. People who are not in the at risk groups stocking up.

Wait until our economy starts tanking due to worldwide Covid 19 recession - as the number of cases and deaths rise.

How do you know you are being lied to. It makes no sense to lie to us.

They never mentioned the person in Trinity College plus the fact that I don't think the Irish Times was lying earlier. Oh and the fact that various posters on here have said the correct figures are not been given. But the biggest giveaway is that you can tell they are lying every time their lips move.

Nope the marker is just for an hour or two. Just to see. Obviously there will be a death eventually. Not trying to be that guy

Can’t help but feel that Ireland’s stats are skewed as many of our cases relate to a unit of travellers such as families or groups
