Italy stopped flights from China in January.

How is that working out for them?

Italy's first case came from Germany who got it from a visiting Chinese business woman

If they were alco they would just go buy it in the supermarkets.
People are letting off steam because firstly this is a ****in very serious situation. Secondly its the last pints they will.get for weeks. Pubs will be shut, no doubt about it.

Firstly they are useless cretins.
Secondly they are idiots for possibly spreading the disease due to their alcoholism.

For a start do you know how many people would be needed and the kind of infrastructure to be put in place?!

Well, something may have to be done. It does depend on how much the UK mainland's approach influences what the NI government does which would be, if sanity prevails, nothing at all. In the scenario where this is not the case, however, we'll have to put some measures in place. You can't have a full lockdown on a country but still have a completely open border.

In fairness any pubs I have seen have limited the numbers in.

Right. Lets say the country’s health service will be hopelessly overwhelmed and the death rate starts going Italian.
If I have symptoms, the Hse aren’t gonna be any help.
I’ll probably have a fever so I need to take medication to try and combat this.
I’ve read on here ibuprofen can have a bad effect coupled with having with c19, so what do I take?
Paracetamol?
Aspirin?
Please, people that don’t believe this scenario will happen just hold your tongue on this post and humour me for a bit.

The same service that can't handle the yearly winter flu outbreak won't be able to manage a virus that is now a global pandemic.
No slight on the workers themselves. People will be prioritized and many may not get timely treatment. Some will die. There is no vaccine

You can try and avoid the upcoming nightmare by social distancing, regularly washing your hands and following recommended guidelines.

It might just save your life, someone in your families life and Irish society as a whole.

Best of luck to all

id rather go to pub and get a shot 80% alc prob will kill more then c%nts who let their kids roam for a month now, or those that go rampage on shops when theres no shortage, same ejjits asking for one thing yet will happily go into stores and act like lunatics prepping for doomsday. as if either scenario will make virus dissapear.


5k+ deaths almost in 5 months is peanuts compared to any even in history regarding viruses wars or other diseases.

Maybe stick this rubbish up on your Facebook? Some of your mates might understand this utter gibberish and agree with you.

Just 2 months ago the biggest issue in the world was the US and Iran having a bit of a spat and a few missiles flying in the Middle East.

No tinfoil hat, regardless of how good that quip sounds, the point is, which you seem to have missed, is that it has NOT been reported. Why?

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Probably because the recovered person hasn't met the required criteria to be listed as recovered. I don't know what that criteria is but maybe it's time based or a set number of false test results. If the person has recovered but hasn't completed these steps then that would explain it.
Many have recovered to get 'reinfected' or perhaps just show symptoms again with the same infection. We don't know or don't have enough evidence. Hence I believe the recovered criteria may be quite hard to reach in a way. Gotta be sure.

Should the Gardai not be shutting down any establishment open tonight with more than 100 people? Rules for one and not for the other?

So, wheres everyone going for Paddys day? I might go to the kitchen, then the sitting room... Might even be a rebel and go on a room crawl.

On a serious note, Stay safe Ireland. Huge respect to everyone on the front line.

Stay safe Ireland. God bless you and yours.

Yeah, well there is a far, far bigger issue at hand right now than people's expectation of being able to have a few cans with the lads or some pints.

Some people just don't get it. They may not suffer any consequence, but someone will because of the absolute ignorance of them.



A few staff from a local school have gone off to Spain for the weekend (majority pulled out of trip) and have been sending pics of their great time to colleagues. Cretins, everyone. I hope they're kept over there, shunted into some cheap hotel and told to not move for 2 weeks.

I agree but as i said, its the society we built and enjoyed up until now.

They are acting. Maybe not to the extent that some would like but you would hope that by them announcing that we are in a very serious situation and that this virus is exceptionally contagious, you wouldn't have arseholes cramming themselves into a pub.

It's not illegal and nobody is breaking the law of they cough on your face. You'd hope that people wouldnt because they are responsible and have care and respect for the general public and failing that, at least their family.

Have you a link to the other article or is it the tweet about France? A single stat without context isn't much use and muddies the waters. Percentages of each age group's total cases in ICU is more helpful than a breakdown of ICU cases per se.

It mentions 40-50 people on ICU in Holland currently with half or more under 50

My post was merely meant to address the myth this is a old people only disease. I am not sufficiently skilled to interpret pandemic statistics.

Paracetamol

There have been reports in French media that Ibuprofen should be avoided. I'm not able to back this up with any links to science, but it was widely reported on very reliable French news outlets earlier today.

It's something to do with the anti-inflammatory effects of ibuprofen though.

They're advising people to stick to paracetamol if they suspect they have it and seek medical advice i.e. phone GP.

*edit*
Actually found a link to info in the Guardian : https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/14/anti-inflammatory-drugs-may-aggravate-coronavirus-infection

With discretion being the better part of valour, we decided against going to the local this evening. We will figure out another way to support our local businesses.

We are all in this together.
