Nbc have just said that the US has only done a single contact trace and that was on a lawyer in New York and the results are that 50 were infected.
Crazy that its only 1 contract tracing done

Oh well.

Would not like to be out in the streets of Liverpool during Phase 3/4 implimentation, they'll kick-up a major fuss too when there no toilet roll to throw also.

Could the EU decide to reciprocate with suspensions? Would that not include Ireland suspending them too?

Further to the Homeland press issue, confirmed by the White House moments ago, the Presidential Order covers Schengen countries only, so Ireland is also exempt.

The US is riddled with the virus and they know it.

The more we learn about this virus the more of a concern it is.

Medical chap on radio today said it will survive on almost any surface for 5days no bother. Some EU states are advising 60-70 penetration rates.

We can only hope the WuhanL4 near the wetmarket had nothing to do with it.

I can’t even sleep for worrying. The repercussions of this whole thing is going to be felt for years to come.
I’m thinking about who was around the dinner table just a few months ago on Christmas Day and imagining who might not be there for 2020.
I have more than a few vulnerable relatives who this could potentially kill and I’m asthmatic myself.
I am of an anxious disposition anyway but seeing Boardsies who I would know to be sensible, measured, and intelligent people starting to really panic is freaking me out even more.
I might have to unsubscribe for awhile. It feels like it’s all escalating at an astronomical pace now and it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

What do you think might happen so? Do you think the virus will stop for some reason? Or are you just in denial? This time last week I was agreeing with you by the way.

I don't think it's going to stop no but I do think the actions of governments and citizens will severely reduce the spread so the doomsday prophecies of 5%+ of world population dead by the summer just won't happen.

Immunity will increase over time as people catch and recover from the virus, better treatments are being trialled and will be discovered.

Hopefully it tapers off by the summer. The drastic actions that are being taken will have longer term economic effects that will effect millions more people than the virus itself imo though but they are required.

Still a lot of unknowns. It is scary for sure. These are unprecedented measures in our lifetimes.

And if this isn't a Pandemic of what could be called 'biblical proportions', you'd be right to get your coat.

Anyway expect you'll be awating some sort of bloodbath, to wallow in, Bloodbath, my, what a cherry little name to choose!

I never once dismissed it as a bit of a cold so you are talking ****e. But hey that is what you do best.

There probably won't be any need. The airlines are not going to fly almost empty planes to the US.

And no one will want to fly on the planes to Europe, least they get stuck there.

A ban on US-Ireland travel would have been disastrous. There must be a huge number of business travellers, not just tourists.

Yep nbc saying that and Andrew Couco was on CNN said effectively it is rampant in new york and I’m sure they said there will be hundreds of thousands infected in the US

CNN just said that yesterday the CDC sid no tests and the public health departments did 8. So right now the HSE is testing more people than America.

Big opportunity for Ireland here. Executive types with money to waste from all over Europe. Fly to Dublin, quarantine in a hotel for 14 days (at full rate ofc), build the price of tests for guests and hotel/airport staff into it, test them on day 13, and let them off to US on day 14. Bus them to and from the airport directly to/from the tarmac to minimise contact.

I'd say most business travel has all but stopped. Plenty of companies have either banned all business travel or heavily restricted it.

The only thing we can do is to channel the energy used in worrying, which is an entirely rational response, to productive activities to help keep ourselves and loved ones safe.

Ireland is outside Schengen anyway but also individual countries can decide third party immigration.
