Isolate and youre an idiot.

Also an at risk group with the asthma comorbidity.

If France and Germany take their cue from Italy and lockdown cities early it might slow it down.

Yes.
Creil in the Oise is still not lockdown and it is 30 minutes commuter train from Gare du Nord in Paris.

What's our highest total so far, 7?

So we are down two days in a row. Bucks the trend of pretty much all other countries on recorded cases.

I suspect FringeGirl is on the money, Ireland's numbers are as suspect as China's.

If it was cattle who were at risk of dying we would get a Wuhan style lockdown.

But it's only old people and sick people so the government don't give a sh1t.

dogs have tested positive for Coronavirus in Hong Kong in the last few days. Thats a whole different ball game.

His GP referred him for investigations associated with a diagnosed condition.

There are in the region of 500+ more cases, undiagnosed as of yet.

Don't be blondly loyal to FG all your life. They cancelled St. Patrick's day and all major sporting events and we had only one case of Foot and Mouth in Ireland. We could isolate one patient without the need to shoot them.

Correction :- They cancelled all many weeks BEFORE we had our first case.

But cattle health is more important than human health... we all know that.

I genuinely think some people believe everything should just shut down, and allow society and the economy to be devastated. They have no concept of trade-offs or the impact of the simplistic decisions they want taken.

If we shut everything down for a few months and emerge, we'll simply see a huge new wave of infections. We're not trying to prevent the wave of infections (that's impossible), we're trying to slow it down so the health system isn't over-run.

woohoo!!!

There are over a million cases undiagnosed in Dublin alone. See how easy this is to make facts up, and how useless it is to a discussion?

It your are correct about what it is, it really can’t be called a lockdown.

The current "red zone" in Italy (Codogno and other towns) with a population of approx 50000, has been in actual lockdown for the past two weeks.
There are 35 police and army manned checkpoints that stop anyone getting in or out (with permits for deliveries to chemists and supermarkets).

If/when this blows over every country should summon their Chinese ambassador, they should be handed an envelope, inside that envelope a letter with "STOP EATING ****!" written on it..

I dont think Irelands numbers are suspect the infection has not grown the same way in every country, clearly. Obviously many cultural factors will have a big impact on how quickly it spreads, for one thing it being an island I would say will definitely mean a softened impact from the virus compared to continental countries

Social distancing is obviously euphemistic.

Most of the 'lockdowns' begin with somewhat lax restrictions. In the early days in Wuhan people were free to leave their houses, but asked to stay inside iirc. Then it was, you can leave your house for an hour. To one person can leave to go to the shop. To some places ending up where everything is delivered to you.

It's naive to think that countries with out of control crises won't try the thing that appears to control spread.

I think the Chinese fairly quickly cancelled all buses, trains and flights out of Wuhan (and other cities in Hubei province) as well as setting up checkpoints on every road leaving the city and turning back anyone driving out.

This is what I would call “lockdown” (ie you genuinely can’t leave the area), but I don’t think we will see it in Italy soon. And actually it might already be too late at this stage.

There are about 1000 Italians roaming around Dublin tonight who would have been over to see the game but they might not fly home to be under house arrest and may defect

This thread is both terrifying and reassuring in equal measure. Unlike Twitter which is just scary and to be honest bloody tiresome.

Yes i remember that. But actually at this stage you could question whether it makes sense as the locked down areas must be surrender by other areas with similar infection rates. Question is would they enforce the same thing for a few million people.
