From her Facebook:
"It has been Confirmed that Three people in Cootehill have tested positive for Covid-19.

The Three people are currently in quarantine at present.

Pubs were asked to close immediately,
If you have been in a pub in the area its advised that you wash everything with disinfectant.

And take the necessary steps to prevent it from spreading further.

If you have any symptoms phone HSE Live on 1850 241 850."

Confirmed by who?

That's correct if we are going by the old health board districts.

Agreed to some extend but I’d blame the government more that pub owners. Pub owners are running a business and if they aren’t told there are restrictions i can see how they want to keep the business running. The decision to close them should come from the government.

Some of them have elderly relatives who depend on them. If their businesses are shut down then how will they be able to get food and medicine for their elderly relatives and other relatives who have serious underlying health problems?

It won't be that ordered. There'll be gardai outside each supermarket and everyone will stand a safe distance apart in a queue in the car park until they're ushered in.

Ah god I’m not looking forward to this in the pissing fcuking rain

Temple Bar right now. Shut the bloody pubs.

I live in Offaly and many of the pubs are closing their doors tonight or already closed until further notice.

Bressie posted on Twitter earlier that the pubs in Mullingar were all closed or are closing tonight.

It's getting scary now.

CDC and WHO need to be re-evaluated in terms of their supposed authoritative competence. They are almost a a liability.

But even if that was correct, the wash your hands and social distancing advice still applies.

It's effectively saying that every person you come in contact with might have the virus.

Is it reasonable to accuse people who are going to pubs and restaurants of being selfish?! The only way they'd be putting the lives of others in danger is if they were in close contact with elderly people and those younger people who have serious health problems.

They could pass on the virus to someone else who may be in contact with elderly people. This is fairly basic stuff

Doesn't matter, probably part of today's figures and the location just being released leaked
Really don't see the point of announcing these things to the world as if it's new cases

Those clips this evening ruined it for the pubs.

Of course it didn't. If not tonight then Paddys day. The idea that people with literally nothing else to do or nothing to be home early to prepare for were going to go to a bar and sit distantly and cautiously was always naive beyond belief.

I'm surprised it didn't look messier and more like the last days of the Roman empire.

You can fail once, and still have it because some people have only tested positive after at least 2 plus tests.

Correct. There was even a story of a patient in China who had strong symptoms and the test came out negative 4 times - but doctors still kept him as a covid 19 patient as they felt it was really it. And the fifth time they tested him it did come out positive.

Only those with symptoms are being asked to isolate separately. Everyone else is just being asked to avoid crowds and stick with their family.

Italy in lockdown. Spain and Cansry islands in full lockdown from Monday. France going into lockdown this minute. Germany will most likely be next and Ireland in next few days.

So you think it's okay for young healthy people to contract the virus as long as they try not to go near any old or sick people?

Clinical course and risk factors for mortality of adultinpatients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a retrospective cohort study
Fei Zhou*, Ting Yu*, Ronghui Du*, Guohui Fan*, Ying Liu*, Zhibo Liu*, Jie Xiang*, Yeming Wang, Bin Song, Xiaoying Gu, Lulu Guan, Yuan Wei,

Summary
Background Since December, 2019, Wuhan, China, has experienced an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Epidemiological and
clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 have been reported but risk factors for mortality and a detailed
clinical course of illness, including viral shedding, have not been well described.
Methods In this retrospective, multicentre cohort study, we included all adult inpatients (≥18 years old) with laboratoryconfirmed COVID-19 from Jinyintan Hospital and Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital (Wuhan, China) who had been
discharged or had died by Jan 31, 2020. Demographic, clinical, treatment, and laboratory data, including serial
samples for viral RNA detection, were extracted from electronic medical records and compared between survivors
and non-survivors. We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression methods to explore the risk factors
associated with in-hospital death.
Findings 191 patients (135 from Jinyintan Hospital and 56 from Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital) were included in this
study, of whom 137 were discharged and 54 died in hospital. 91 (48%) patients had a comorbidity, with hypertension
being the most common (58 [30%] patients), followed by diabetes (36 [19%] patients) and coronary heart disease
(15 [8%] patients). Multivariable regression showed increasing odds of in-hospital death associated with older age
(odds ratio 1·10, 95% CI 1·03–1·17, per year increase; p=0·0043), higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)
score (5·65, 2·61–12·23; p<0·0001), and d-dimer greater than 1 µg/mL (18·42, 2·64–128·55; p=0·0033) on admission.
Median duration of viral shedding was 20·0 days (IQR 17·0–24·0) in survivors, but SARS-CoV-2 was detectable until
death in non-survivors. The longest observed duration of viral shedding in survivors was 37 days.
Interpretation The potential risk factors of older age, high SOFA score, and d-dimer greater than 1 µg/mL could help
clinicians to identify patients with poor prognosis at an early stage. Prolonged viral shedding provides the rationale
for a strategy of isolation of infected patients and optimal antiviral interventions in the future.

Pubs closing isn't scary.
The reports some of us are hearing from ICUs in Italy and now even the Mater are scary.

The imminent lockdown / restriction measures should be welcomed by any sane person.
This will be great news if we want to save lives as best we can.
I'm not saying it won't be easy, but it has to do done.

Everyone is rightly saying the idiots in temple bar tonight etc.

But the pubs that are open (bad enough) and allowing jam packed crowds (criminally negligent) deserve more scorn. People wouldn't be there if they weren't open.

People shouldn't be there full stop. If people are not going to restaurants why are they going to pubs?.

The FIRST thing the government needs to do next week is order all pubs / restaurants to close from 6pm at a minimum.


Congrats general public. You thick as **** gob****es.

lainey_d_123

Is anyone else struggling with people who think they're overreacting?

It seems most people on Ireland have a fair amount of cop on and are being very cautious and sensible, and the government have done a good job at shutting lots of stuff down.

I'm over in the UK at the minute and it's mostly business at usual. All the hand gel and toilet paper sold out, yet pubs are busy, restaurants are busy, trains packed.

I'm avoiding being inside anywhere I don't need to be, including supermarkets, and some people here are mocking me and telling me I'm insane. I had a friend come round for a glass of wine and asked him to wash his hands for 20 seconds when he arrived (because he showed no sign of going to do it, and started touching the bottle and other stuff in the kitchen) and he went mental at me and stormed out.

Am I being totally paranoid here? I feel like I'm on another planet compared to the people around me.

So no one knows what exactly the HSE means by the 'North West'.

Jebus wept, when Met Eireann give a weather forecast... it's not a state secret where Malin Head or Roches Point are located.

The HSE should stop this cloak and dagger bullcrap and tell us exactly the town and county where the greatest danger is located.

It might even keep the headbangers out of the pubs in those towns !

Is fair workers will face financial problems,unpaid leaves,losing of jobs...and those ones on the dole that doesn't want to work zero problems
