The parade but not the spectators, standing in the one place beside many others

I'm in Cork and I have full capacility to work from home. We have onnly been told to stay away if we were in hot zones. I have a cold. Runny nose and cough :eek: I'm gonna go in tomorrow but I bet I will be getting some strange looks. No one is taking it too seriously though so it will be more jokes than anything else. This evenings news may change that of course.
Still easier to just go in than explain to my boss that I am working home because of the sniffles.

See in my company the attitude is if you've got the sniffles work from home!

Individuals need to start taking responsibility not waiting for guidance from the government.If you feel sick stay away from large crowds and work places. Need to pro active and in this situation better to over react

A lot of people who don't get sick pay from their employer will still go to work as they won't be able to afford to be absent, even if they are feeling a bit under the weather.

Not even close, April 3rd is when we get 2 weeks.

I think the poster was suggesting schools may be told to take Easter break early.

May screw up some peoples Easter holiday plans for trips to northern Italy!

Anyone here have masks at home? At what point would you start wearing one? I saw one person in super valu with one on yesterday, but at the moment I’d still feel self conscious wearing one.

They don't protect you apparently

Employers need to step up and cop on that giving sick pay is better than their entire staff being infected

It's a mystery though. I mean imagine the same thing happening here as happened in China, south Korea, Iran, Italy, diamond princess. Absolutely incredible. Shocked to the core, I am.

Clusters dont appear overnight, this must have been around for a few weeks

you need a ffp2 or ffp3 for any kind of protection apparently and good luck getting those you would get a brick of gold easier

Masks arent really effective to stop infection they are really only for use if you are infected to stop you spreqding it

Surely it at least helps to stop touching your face.

If people have it and don’t even know, it must be fairly mild for a lot of people. At least to begin with.

It appears the one case in Cork is actually 2 and there are 8 more suspected cases but results won’t be available until tommorow.

Very very good conference, everybody should watch this.

If nothing else it Backs up what runway said, they have been working hard to get ready.

Who says he had symptoms? I doubt someone would be struck off for it.
He should have self isolated if he came back from northern Italy though, incredibly selfish no doubt.

Sorry ni meant if he was showing symptoms, which he must have been at some point to end up getting tested.

Regardless, not self isolating and continuing business as usual is gross negligence and may well be the cause of an outbreak in the area. What if an at risk patient contracts it and is either left with another life long condition, or worse death, as a result of this behaviour? It's not like he wouldn't know about the behaviours of this virus at this point.

A lot of the population probably should be wearing them at this stage . I think anyone who has a cold or is feeling unwell should mask up at this stage.

If they don’t protect you why are healthcare workers wearing them. They don’t want you buying them to protect supplies, of course they give some protection.

I can't see them closing schools early. They seem to be even resisting closing schools with confirmed cases.

Maskes are effective. Just the media claiming they are not due to a shortage.

I feel bad for the people doing LC and JC orals, or art projects. Or even my sister doing college finals :eek:

My friend in Dubai said when when I asked if they officially closed all schools there (mind you only having 28 cases I believe)
“Let’s just say, easter break has come early for 2 weeks, after that we have to do online learning”
