Well warmer temperatures and longer days(more UV light) kills the corna viruses that we already know about faster.
There is no reason to think this one would be different.

RTE just added "official" confirmation to their feed. The CUH case apparently is the only one not linked to affected areas.

If that is true then it's good to a certain extent that the others can be traced

RTE: More details are due to be announced in the next few minutes during a briefing at the Department of Health.

I wonder if they will reveal the exact cities or let us guess again.

Well Cork is being confirmed in every media outlet.

Good article I thought not conclusive, but lots of daylight and sun could help!

Yeah I cant see football matches, or other sporting events being cancelled at the moment.

Paddys day is a different story given the numbers everywhere

Given the UK is right behind Italy now I can see football matches etc going soon. Government is preparing the people there for it in the language they use.

Our officials went into more pessimistic language today also.

Some seriously bad mistakes made from the start with this outbreak, it should be looked back as a lesson in what not to do and at a time when the last government have let our health service fall asunder the last few years

Sadly too many lessons the 'powers that be' running this country have experienced over the decades and they repeatedly never learned from any of them all while plebs like us were screaming the bleedin' obvious at them and being told to commit suicide by the likes of Bertie

HSE: oh we’ve been preparing for this for the last few months.

Also HSE: yeah we don’t have adequate flu kits.


Couldn’t make it up.

Why not sporting events? Thirty or forty thousand people watching a game for 1-2hrs mingling together, using public toilets, crowded round food and beer stalls.

2 cases are associated with local transmission via someone who had travelled and 1 is unknown.

So 3 of the 7 occurred here in Ireland. (Just read out on sky news)

Circumstantial evidence of recent weather conditions in countries where it has been spreading most rapidly

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.

Or they do some common sense and sneeze in to an elbow or a tissue and wash there hands. There is no need for you have to wear a mask because you sneezed
