No need to have cancelled the Parade either I suppose. Great.

We are a nation of gullible fools who believe we are invincible and will not follow the trajectory of other countries in Europe.

Did Northern Ireland release their numbers yet? Then we get see how many we ACTUALLY have.

Also 3 cases is a good sign! Actually kinda surprised considering I thought we would be starting to climb like literally every country around us.

However, maybe this is liulling us into a false sense of security that we only get 2-3 cases a day? Who knows.

flynnlives

3 new cases is great.

Our real worry however is the UK. What happens there i suspect will dictate our outbreak.
When they move to phase two thats a bad sign for us.

Also Trump has ****ed the US, virtually ensuring that this now becomes a pandemic.

Someone I know in the US on the West Coast has been diagnosed with the virus. Picked it up from travelling. Age profile is less than 40 and she’s the type of person who picks up ever bug that goes around.

She is doing well though. No hospitalisation required at present. Was told to isolate at home etc.

UK growth was actually very modest today. If it could stay at this rate for another week or two, the powers that be would be very relieved (for now).

The reason why it's only 3 cases is probably down to the HSE's strict testing criteria

If you ring them because you have all the symptoms, they won't test you unless you've been to one of the following areas recently:

China
Hong Kong
Iran
the following regions in Italy - Lombardy, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont
Japan
Singapore
Republic of Korea (South Korea)

https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/affectedareas/

That list is hopelessly out of date. We're in big trouble.

It was always ridiculous. It's a virus that can spread from person to person. Someone could get off a flight from Milan and be sitting next to any of us on the DART an hour later.

dark crystal wrote: »

People with colds won't get paid to stay in isolation for two weeks.

Have you read the guidelines at all?

Have you ever used your brain at all?

There are plenty of people who can work from home. We're software engineers. Most people already work from home at least one day a week for no reason other than they feel like it. Everyone has everything they need on the laptop they take home with them every day, and their work phone. Absolutely no need for people to be coming in sick when working from home is totally possible, and employers need to get their heads around that instead of sticking doggedly to the idea that people have to be in the office to be productive.

Wasn't the outbreak traced back to an individual from Germany?

Well By Friday they will have increased by a greater number and may still be bull****e because we don't know how many people are being tested and because we don't know how many people are in self-isolation. I am not genuinely disappointed by the low figures, I am shocked that we are believing the HSE controlled narrative. One of the cases flew from Africa into Europe and then on to here and they won't say which countries in Africa and Europe are involved.

I do think - at least in my case - that it's more surprise than anything else. Everything I've read suggests that the virus increases rapidly at some particular point, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet. The rate of increase - while obviously horrific for those infected - is great news for everyone else, but it seems to be that we're bucking the trend, but little explanation as to why this is.

But this is Ireland. We don't do pandemics, we are blessed. Hopefully. And I mean that, it will be fantastic for our tourism, trade, economy, ordinary life if we buck the trend.

I get the impression Leo is trying to downplay what is coming, corona virus will really expose our health system for what's it become under his government

If the coronavirus develops in any way like predicted any health system will struggle severely. If you watch the UK press conference you will will find the same. The NHS will struggle.
The Scottish Chief Medical Officer has appparently calculated that up to 4% of the population may require hospital treatment (more severe cases). Extrapolating that to Ireland would mean about 200,000 people (maths?). That is addition to those more mildly affected in the community. Of course the system will really struggle if that comes to pass. And so will other European countries.



If the broader point is that the current health care system needs major reform, then I agree. But it is a differnt point.
