Very difficult to determine how accurate those stats are. Given how little testing has taken place in the UK, US and Ireland.

I think the US and UK are being particularly laissez faire.

Edit: US are upping their game in the last 2 days.

I don't think the term laissez faire makes sense in that context.

Sure look it, if your feeling under the weather your not going to go to the pub anyway. Simple really.

My two jobs have been shut down for the time period advised by the government. No way am I sealing myself indoors for two whole weeks, unless the government intervene in the meantime.

You obviously missed the bit where people can have very mild symptoms and these are the ones who can cause spread as they do not know they have it.

So long as he gets a pint and a line who cares about anyone else.

That is libel. I have never done that in my life.

I could just as easily contract it in the supermarkets the way its going. We aren't superheroes. I am following every single self-hygiene protocol at my end.

Off with you, sounds like coronavirus is the least of your worries.


The press briefing guy sitting on the left explicitly said there is a delay from receipt of tests of 48-92hrs.

not true.

If you know anyone working in a hospital then ask them

Well, that would be against the law, wouldn't it?

Can't people stay away from the fücking place for a while?

Sure we are ****ed whatever we do, I'm not sure why we are blaming younger people from cramming into pubs, it's all the older generation who are most at risk who are packing out these pubs.

Everyone is at risk. An Italian Doctor has stated a rise in cases of young people.

You are a sap if you think you will be fine because of your age.

In fairness trump doesn’t differentiate between the Uk and Ireland. He thinks of us as the uks smaller, younger hotter sister.

Yeah I was thinking to myself Italy France and Spain are completely hysterical as well, locking down their countries. I'm really glad we have a head start on this though, so we can see what we're lumbering into in a few weeks.

I’d say our numbers will be much higher as testing increases.
A lot of people walking around with the virus and not knowing they have it yet.
Probably infecting others too.

It's worse than a zombie apocalypse in lots of ways because instead of biting you, which is quite easy to avoid, they just need to breathe near you or touch you or touch something you later touch.

The UK have recently stopped testing cases that are only showing mild symptoms, which is bound to make their numbers look better.

DoH are prioritising hospitalised cases at present. Mild doesn't matter if self-isolation takes care of it and no other infections result. It's the other 20% or so that will put the system under pressure.

I’ve just learned that a person has been admitted to ICU of an acute hospital with complications arising from #COVIDー19.

They are IN THEIR 20s and have NO underlying health condition.

If you were thinking about going out tonight, perhaps think again.

If people test outside of hospital, yes. In a hospital setting 12-24 hours.

That makes loads of sense, only count the ones who are relatively serious. i.e in hospital. Number massaging. We've seen China, Iran, Italy, US, UK and every other country do similar.

Whatever you do don't induce panic by actually counting how widespread it is in the community. Oh and keep the pubs open.


UK was inspired by the Iranian approach. #LickAShrine #TakeItOnTheChin

Dr Holohan having a go at pub goers indicates that they will issue an order for them all to close. Full lock down looking increasingly to happen within the next two days. Perhaps they're trying to persuade Arlene to do the same and that might explain why it hasn't been implemented yet.

He didn't really have a go though. He said they wont order pubs to close as we're not at that stage.
But he said it's up to people to be mindful and basically be on top of their own personal hygiene.

While also stating people shouldn't be locked up at home, they aren't asking people to cut out social interaction, reduce it

American banning all European fights.
European countries closing their borders. Shutting down pubs, restrauarants.
Thousands dead from a new virus.
Ireland closing all the schools.
Leo refusing to deny 50% infection and 100k-ish death figures
Most sporting events suspending indefinitly. Hollywood pushing back movies for months.
The World Health Orginisation desperately pleading for even harsher actions.


But there's STILL people who think this is just some "hysterical weirdos" on the internet overhyping it.

It's mind boggling.

Brits Brits Brits.... are ye not concerned about your own turf. This should be renamed the British Corona virus thread.

Ger Roe

Personally, I think it's good that some pubs are taking the decision to close. But..... while others remain open, they are now only going to be busier. This issue needs an 'all or nothing' response and probably an enforced one rather than repeatedly appealing to people's civic responsibility and not getting anywhere.

Tuesday will be too late for the lockdown. It needs to happen no later than tomorrow with immediate effect. WTF is Leo waiting for? He should be addressing the nation now today. Caretaker Taoiseach or not he seriously needs to step up to the plate.

It is disgusting but spare a thought for them, when the pubs close they won’t know what to do. We only have to suffer their selfish ignorance in this thread, they are stuck with themselves all the time.... :pac:

Borders of EU countries closing tonight but we are not allowed apparently or don't have the courage.
