That trip should have been cancelled, he should be back here announcing progression to phase 2 of this thing. Rediculous. When is he back?

I hope he’s quarantined out there for months

There is a video circulating like a cartoon to explain to children about the virus. I don't have the news on in front of my kids but they hear it in achool the 8 year old said my teachers told us no 0-9 year olds have died so we're ok.
I dunno why he told them that maybe another child asked him.
Then she came home and asked me how old are you mom.
They are hearing it around the place.
I took them to the chemist and the woman behind the counter scare mongering people saying we need to be prepared and my kids listening.
Can't avoid it.
So I just told them we just have to be more careful with hand washing etc I said we should always be careful anyway but not to a point of scaring them.

Look the same, my lil lad was asking how old Nanny. But better to talk in an honest way without causing anxiety. All you can do

Anyone (non US citizen) coming from a shengen area in the previous 14 days won't be allowed travel to the US

Except those non us citizens with permanent residency and their immediate families

OK so likely that next Irish cases will come from:
UK and US
Irish tourists back from Spain - where the virus was circulating earlier (see first death in Valencia on 13 Feb) - and other tourist hotspots (Prague, Budapest...)
Irish business people back from Germany, Netherlands

Those of you who know this stuff: most disinfectant wipes (The usual supermarket brands) are anti-bacterial. Do they have any or much effect on COVID-19 droplets, as they’re viral?

I know you are trying to help / forewarn. Don't get yourself in trouble.

Particularly when there is a unique identifier on the top right of said orders

And as a doctor he should have some insight into infection control and risk assessment.
An idiotic fool gone over there to have his photo taken with pelossi.trump wouldn’t give him the time of day.
He deserves to be slated for travelling.

People still need to see that life is going on and that we are not China or Italy. Yeah, it's a photo op but an important one and a sign that the world is still functioning, At a guess one would say he's been tested and has been found negative, As a doctor he'd observe hygiene protocols.

They need to have a very strong concentration of alcohol to be effective but they’re better than nothing.

Aer Lingus cancelled my outbound flight to Milan 2 weeks ago.

Ryanair finally cancelled the return flight yesterday after they made several flight time changes.

Yeah only Italy.

Death rate on closed cases rises to 6.35%
People in critical condition drops to 11%
I can see a correlation there

Indeed but it's not a surprise at all. All of that Bí Ullamh and contingency planning.

Family members travelling to Europe tomorrow, one already there and went out on an almost empty flight earlier in the week.

Well that's a positive, still international travel in and out should be curtailed given the nature of this bug. Outside repatriation type of activities. This bug is infecting over 100 countries globally - halting flights is a good idea

Correlation is not causation.

Mild suspected cases are not being tested, the numbers are skewed.

The annual White House shamrock handover has been cancelled

He is over there for literally no reason, putting himself and his aides at risk.

That's even before you consider as leader of our country he should be in his country coordinating the little matter of the deadly pandemic.

I always had an idea that our leader is self lead rather than a leader.

More than likely he'll be in the Whitehouse and say something like I feel as if im on a scene from some disaster movie or something like that.

Leo you should have stayed at home and lead us out of this rather than turn your back.

I say keep them in there, lock the gates for 2 weeks. Keep the horse races going everyday. Let them run out of money from betting, see how enjoyable it is then. Its not a sport

Many have already returned home with zero quarantine after a positive confirmed case in the town of Cheltenham and have been going about their day as usual. Expect a spike in new cases from these people and any who have been in contact with them very soon.

There's lads on here sending their kids to bed crying because they have them thinking that everybody is going to die.

I tried encouraging my son to wash his hands properly. It didn't work, so I told him the truth that he could get infected and kill his grandparents. He washes his hands properly now. We're (or we should be) beyond sugar coating this thing.

You need a sample of several million cases before accurate 'rates' can be seen really.

It's only individual countries that can do that unless airlines cancel themselves.

No wonder why Turkey have only one case reported so far. They took action very quickly. Suspended flights to Iran, China, South Korea and Italy weeks ago. closed the land border with Iran. I flew in to Istanbul with Turkish airlines last night . The plane goes through disinfection before each flight. All passengers were asked to fill out a form about their destination and contact info. There were cleaning all over the place in the airport at midnight. They have installed hand sanitisers ever few meters. I only saw 1 at Dublin Airport T1 which was very well hidden past security. I am worried that Ireland is not taking the necessary actions in timely manner

Don't fly if you haven't already made that decision

You think most people in critical condition are dying ?
lack of beds ?

81% of cases resulted in some form of pneumonia?

That's bollocks.

That must be a subset of the wider set of cases.

That's not what "Mild disease: non-pneumonia and mild pneumonia; this occurred in 81% of cases." means at all.
