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.

In that case why haven't events like that been cancelled everywhere. Yes in Switzerland and Italy.

None off in the uk, France etc

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.

Because they put them on when they see the patient then straight after throw it away and re sterilize there hands after taking off there gloves. or do we all now have to go around with gloves on

We'll only do it if the French and Brits do it?

These are suppose to be health leaders

Wont mention if the guy is in critical. They also have no idea how he got it, debunking their 'everybody that is confirmed is most likely the only people with it' theory. They aren't alarmed

Wouldn’t hurt.

I’m supposed to be bringing my 20 month old to A&E in CUH in the morning after being referred there by my GP today (before the news broke).

I see that CUH have now cancelled all outpatient appointments for tomorrow, but should I still rock up to A&E? Can’t say I’m massively inclined to now.

He has conjunctivitis that’s hasn’t cleared after a week of eye drops so not massively serious I guess, although I was surprised to have been referred to A&E all the same.

Thoughts?

Free Movement. And am surprised Brexiteers haven't capitalised on this yet.

But it's free movement from all over the world into UK anyway, and we can see how that has panned out. Sadly.

Is this a pisstake, won't say where they are, expected it to happen, everything is grand wash your hands...

Why did the HSE need to wait to tell GPs (let alone anybody) to self isolate for 14 days when returning from an infected area. This should have been the first thing that was said. That's the only way you could have actually contained this. They are morons.

Really? I don't see panic. They look calm and collected to me.

Good to see Simon Harris taking such a lead at the press conference and giving the answers that we want. Fair play to him. We are sooooo lucky to have him

Contact them first maybe?

Still refusing to give details on location or what county the people are from ... Ireland is to small for saying roughly where the outbreaks are .
