F**k off with your parade talk Miriam

It would be madness not to cancel at this stage.
We will see...

If it goes ahead I think the numbers would be a lot smaller, would people really want to put themselves at risk?
Come to think of it takings in pubs and clubs, must be seriously in the toilet as well as cinemas etc.

F***in parade talk again

What the **** is the obsession

Thats me done watching prime time...gob****es

There are at least 40 more cases to be announced over the next two days. Our hospitals are proving not very suited to containing this virus for whatever reason. Many of these unannounced cases represent clusters of 6-10 people in various hospitals around the country.

First step call say you are lying to try and spread panic this is unlikely.

Second step when what you stay is confirmed just say well it was always going to happen but anymore cases are unlikely.


Rinse and repeat.

They are obviously going to cancel the St. Patrick's day stuff, this is just a talking point for everyone in the media to get worked up about.

On the subject of Prof. O'Neill on the McWilliams podcast, he mentioned the drugs that are being trialed that are showing promise in helping people who contract it.

Chloroquine is showing promise, which treats malaria. And there are anti-viral drugs used to treat HIV, and anti-inflammatory drugs to help your body too. This is all before the vaccine comes out in about a years time.

Even Prof. O'Neill says that the seriousness of this is going away.

Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

She’s going out of her way to be really disrespectful to the Chinese ambassador.

Yes. People dont seem to get that the death rate depends on medical treatment.

Beyond a certain number of cases the rate will spike.
It is not a fixed constant.

I don't suppose there's any figures out of China on general mortality rates in the last few months?

That might be the stupidest question I've ever asked

It could actually take out every major A&E in the country.

Quarantine centres should be established.

Especially if infected doctors are working in them!!

What utter rubbish is this?

We sat and watched on for weeks with our gob ajar catching flies. We did the square root of **** all to proactively combat this.

And then we go and permit a doctor returning from Italy to work away in a chockablock hospital. Criminal.

You tried to claim swine flu wasn't a pandemic earlier.

Feck right off with your attempts to pretend you know what you're on about.

Swine flu only infected somewhere between 10 and 20% of the world population.

They’re estimating COVID19 will infect somewhere between 40 to 70% of the worlds population. This is from WHO.

Really 10 to 20% is only about a quarter of the prevalence of infection vs what we are looking at now. Sure you can quibble the details of the definition but swine flu as a pandemic isn’t at all equivalent to what we are facing now.

What kind of diplomacy is this from Miriam and RTÉ...China makes the world’s drugs. The US speaker is talking rubbish that’s she’s fawning over. Read Scary Mommy and facebook comments section and discover how widespread the virus is in the states & people not being tested.
She led the questions with how the Chinese covered up the virus...mentioned that people would be ‘more fearful’ of Chinese guards...how does this help is exactly?

So the American guy thinks North Korea and Iran are lying but all other countries are reporting accurately data... right

Nijmegen

The economic impact is going to be huge. Just ask anyone involved in study travel for example. Already occurring.

How do we know the water is deep if it's uncharted?

Listened to David McWilliams podcast and he had Professor Luke O'Neill on it. He explained things clear and concise.

I am not even remotely worried anymore now.

I recommend people in here do the same.

Ah, Luke O’Neill! Definitely giving that a listen. And I’m pretty sure I’ll be agreeing with him all the way.

Lads and ladies the parades are going to be cancelled, possibly even as soon as tomorrow.

Theres a huge meeting between Department of Health and various other bodies including unions, businesses etc about mass gatherings

I suspect the parades will be axed if not then, very shortly afterwards

They will not go ahead so stop concerning yourself about them.

I have to go to the Mater next Monday afternoon to get blood tests done. I hope everything will be ok then.
