Well I wouldn't bring a sick out of sorts child near my parents or anyone else pandemic or not. Why do you even need to ask this???..

Just give over. You made a very flippant remark aimed right toward an elderly lady shopping from almost empty shelves.

Think of her of symbol of a generation that sacrificed a lot and helped build modern Ireland and the things people like you take for granted and probably dont value.

If you and the others that made smart and snide comments on that woman are the future of this country, then we really are doomed.

She’s not helpless. Fair play to her getting out and about and taking on the great unwashed. Something about her looks classy and dignified in the leftover chaos of empty shelves left over

Government needs to send out a “notification” recommending that morons don’t arrange “play dates” for kids.

That is not a good way to stop the virus spreading.

There’s a number of “fronts” this battle needs to be fought on but the idiots have the high ground.

Society and law and order are fragile, they always were.

Rule of law can easily break down, human nature takes over when people are scared and feel threatened.

I fear this more than any coronavirus.

Rule of law can break down indeed, and that will be horrific.
Human nature dictates the strongest will survive best, ie those able to compete for food more efficiently

I'm hearing there's works in the curragh, some type of field ward.

There is rumours that local schools will be stripped and sanitised and used as isolation rooms for mildly affected.

Could be something to it, could be nothing either

22 cases today were described as local transmission, while 2 were described as community.

Anybody know the difference?

Local means they known the original infector, community means they have no idea where they caught it.

Spain puts four towns into quarantine

Four towns around the village of Igualada - about 30 miles north of Barcelona - were placed on indefinite lockdown after a significant outbreak in the area, regional police official Eduard Sallent told reporters.

It is the first such restriction imposed in Spain since the outbreak began.

This is probably the wrong forum. I’ve two 17 month olds. If I were you I’d do the usual fever reduction measures and ring your nurse line if concerned. Or your out of hours doc service who will advise.

Thanks all, I can manage the 2 year old & he’s perked up already. I’m just debating the grandparents thing, 70s all in good health but I’d rather not risk it, I know they’ll be disappointed they don’t see themselves as old!

I bet when Leo fly back, Trump will then include Ireland in the travel ban. Unless Trump is concerned about his golf course.

Local transmission is where they identified who the person caught it from. Community transmission they don't know where the person got it from

Would really love to know if I am in one of those clusters or not, would really help to see if its needed to take more precautions... hopefully they will soon but highly doubt it

Local you got it from a known source, community they haven't a clue.

Guys can anyone confirm if the Churches have cancelled religious services. I asked my mother who is in her 70s not to go to Mass for a few weeks and she expressed reluctance.

Meath have and the bishops issued a statement yesterday that elderly and immunocompromised people were exempt from attending Sunday mass and St Patrick's day. They could listen to services on radio or webcam if possible. I presume since a lot of the people going to mass and novenas etc would include a lot of elderly an outright cancellation is on the cards. I know confirmations have been deferred until a later date.

Am i right in thinking the local ones would be likely to be family/friends of confirmed cases and health workers, in the early stages at least? Or am i way off?

As you know with a child it could be anything , from a cold to new teeth causing the temperature . It is common for kids to get infections and because of their systems its difficult to regulate their body temperature. Normally Calpol will keep temp down. Does he have any signs of having a cold or teeth that are breaking through? Best to keep him away from older people. If you are worried get a doctors advice or go to one of the children's hospitals.

You would most likely be correct.

Guys a bit of advice or your opinion needed here. I'm a carer for my mother. ,She has COPD. She's in a wheelchair and I need to hoist her in and out of bed every day, make her meals,wash,change nappy etc. I do it 7 days a week and I have a home help helping me in the morning and takes over in evening. I told my parents (my elderly father also has his health issues) that for the next couple of weeks I wanted to take over the duties on my own and stop the homehelps coming in. There's six of them in rotation , just to be on the safe side,my parents are against it and said no because the women will lose their pay but I'm more concerned about them. What should I do here? What would ye do?

If you stop the homehelps you might not get them back again. I would be very reluctant to do that

Same boat here. Due to travel home to the grandparents . My wife is coughing all week. Probably safer not to travel.

It was only Schengen areas, doubtful he'd include the UK, or by extension Ireland

My understanding is that we're probably 10-14 weeks away from this peaking here, is that correct?

Not OTT. Wise decision.
