If Longford is free, I'm moving up there.

Plans are afoot to annex Cork and Clare and send them off into the Atlantic to sort themselves out.

The rest of us will be grand.

10 cases means we doubled in around 4 days, which is better than expected I think. At that rate we wouldn't peak until mid May (e.g. 500,000 cases by 4th May, so peak over the next weeks). Barring any control measures of course.

I am sorry I cannot name the source and I am sorry for that but it is a very reliable source from inside the hospital

I have also been told 13 patients in Mater not 2 again I cannot name the source but I can assure you it is reliable

this was post that confused me about the mater....if above genuine, does that include cases from yesterday ?

I'm due to fly on a dream round the world trip as a bucket list with my grandfather, first stop is Bologna, then onto Qom followed by a stop in Hubei, then Seoul, followed by San Fran before coming back through Milan, any travel advise?

Do a cruise round San Francisco Bay - I understand there's a ship ready and waiting for some new passengers....

Couldn’t give a **** man. Been working in ED all weekend seeing sick patients with all sorts, ? Covid included. Appropriate presentations are being tested. Appropriate patients are being isolated. Post what you want here. I hope it makes you feel good about yourself. Well done. It’s people like you we need more of. A real selfless hero.

Look emotion does not Trump facts.

We are sleepwalking into a disaster.

Even Dublin airport is fine, not a mask in sight.

Well I did notice a tangible difference in how busy the dart was today. Lot of people staying at home by the looks of it

Great news, at least on my side!

Mother-in-law has decided not to come, and instead fly back to her homeland, Argentina, tomorrow. Best decision really instead of lumping about in Italy or ****ing our family over in Dublin. A huge sense of relief off my chest anyway.

The Danish increase by 3 fold is the news of today with COVID.

Does anyone know if each person is tested just the once, or do they repeat tests on suspected cases after a few days?

Yeah but they're a peninsula!
With a large dispersed rural population with only a few major urban centres and population primarily in the 3 largest cities.

And sure they even have a bridge to Sweden
BoJo hasn't snared our lovely isle with a bridge yet!

We are totally different to Denmark and all those other Europeans

Bit unnecessary tbh considering most cases aren't coming from outside Ireland, they're already in Ireland.

Nothing to do with the coronavirus, we'll just be better with those people never coming back.

The CMO says no at present, but has left it open as to whether it will be necessary but definitely not yet.

What’s the CMO? You seem to have good knowledge of departmental acronyms and seem to favour everything they’ve done to date.

I wonder......

What are the department’s,.. sorry I mean your views on community transmission testing?

deise08

So, say somebody travelling back from not Italy, starts showing symptoms.
If they ring and lie and say they travelled from a hot spot, would they get tested then?
Then if positive, reveal they were in France, Germany etc... Would that open the gates to start testing for those regions?

theguzman

Do we have a county by county breakdown on figures? I heard of a case in Ballyvourney Co. Cork yesterday! Even the Chinese who were criticized gave us a breakdown by prefecture of cases. With 50 cases on the island, we should be getting the information of where the infected are, was it local transmission or imported from abroad etc. Italy has higher death figures per day than China now, Ireland will be Italy within 2 weeks.

It's actually not at all high for the size of the country.

I was expecting it higher , if we can cases low , will help buy more time and stagger hospitisations as best we can so resources can be spread to those who need them most.

The thread is way beyond the point where it wouldn't be out of place in the Conspiracy Theories forum.

Are any countries doing what China ended up doing and adding numbers for people who hadn't been tested, but matched the symptoms? Clinical diagnosis I think it was called.

cameramonkey

Was talking to someone in China today, in Dalian. They expect to get out and about in a week or two with total free movement from the 26 March with all shops and businesses open.

If you now arrive in china by air you are greeted onboard by temperature testers, those that are found to have a high temperature or symptoms are carted off to a facility to be tested and locked up with all the rest of the potential spreaders until you are cleared, if you test positive you are straight to the hospital. If you arrive and have no temperature then its off to a hotel where you will be confined on your own for 14 days. They don't mess around.

Even though we have low case numbers, I think a two week university and schools closure is needed. Stop a spread before it possibly happens.

I am from this town in south Galway. We have had 4 confirmed cases since Sunday. 3 of those cases (we think) seem to be included in today figures, the other 1 in yesterday’s. Lots of people being tested of the past few days.

The GP is right, schools need to close in this area and all events cancelled.

There only seem to be 2 reported in the West today - one male, one female and there was 1 female yesterday also. Are you telling me all these cases (and another one) are from the one small town?

It's madness keeping the schools open.

No I really believe the HSE have been way too strict in their testing criteria.

That poster seems to think myself and others are enjoying this by expressing OUTRAGE.

We still have flights coming in from Italy today I think this is some scary sh*t.

Do not let my sense of humour fool you.:(

Complete horse****. Well done. I hope you and Cinemaguy enjoy your posts. Disgrace.

Look at our number of tests compared to Uk and how we ramped up. Keyboard warriors. The worst.

I don't doubt that frontline staff are working their arses off, but it would have been nice if the HSE had done anything to stop there being community spread cases in the first place.

I could tell you who was infected. It wasn't rocket science. It was people coming back from Italy. I said it two weeks ago. The HSE was retarded (in both senses of the word) two weeks ago, them getting around to doing mass testing now doesn't change that fact.

Guy interviewed by RTE who in isolation gets tested every day when he has 2 clear tests will be 'released'

RTE said tonight about 1700 or so tests done which is not that many. There will be the tests done after the doc in the hospital, they would be testing staff (roughly 175 in iso), patients and their families, those that have come back from Italy and of course the chap in Cork who was release and then came back in.

Then there is the 3 or so day wait for the test.

Yeah, I love throwing stones. It's my only vice. I got thrown out of my squat in the Botanical Gardens for it though. Not sure if it was related
Maybe it's because of my other vice, lying. I'll never know.
