Nobody will be in work so we are getting a good preview of what things will be like under Sinn Fein.

TheBird · February 25, 2020, 9:16pm

I can’t.

Julio_Geordio · February 25, 2020, 9:16pm

Because they are imaginary?

TheBird · February 25, 2020, 9:17pm

No. They aren’t.

Julio_Geordio · February 25, 2020, 9:17pm

I can work from home. Fuck sake.

anon60384913 · February 25, 2020, 9:22pm

@anon7035031 I thought this was dying out last week? It seems like it’s exploded in the last few days. Why?

Have we a homeopathic fix yet. Nasal spray? Kimchi??

BeTimberin · February 25, 2020, 9:23pm

Complacency, figures down in China who have done a serious job in containing it…

Julio_Geordio · February 25, 2020, 9:24pm

Numbers are actually falling. It’s just we don’t value Chinese lives as highly as Italians.

anon60384913 · February 25, 2020, 9:25pm

Has anybody died in Italy? And the age profile please.

Julio_Geordio · February 25, 2020, 9:27pm

11 now. The Italians fucked up and infected a hospital of sick old people

Bollix. Our local pharmacist has a son in HK. He said when China reported 500 it was close on 25,000.

anon7035031 · February 25, 2020, 9:27pm

It’s not dying out. The Chinese changed their criteria for infection, essentially you have to be hospitalized with pneumonia now for them to count you. I wouldn’t pay any attention to numbers from China, they’re just lying. Pay attention to the numbers outside China, Korea, Japan, Italy and wherever there is an outbreak.

It’s looking more like a pandemic I’m afraid, probably no way to stop it now.

Julio_Geordio · February 25, 2020, 9:29pm

I’ll have to go out again this weekend. The country will be shut down shortly

Bod95 · February 25, 2020, 9:30pm

As pointed out on the news there what’s to stop a few thousand Italians coming to Dublin anyway for the weekend. What difference does cancelling the match make? Unless the logical next step is to ban all air travel to Italy and other effected areas.

Bod95 · February 25, 2020, 9:31pm

+1 before we all enter Mad Max mode

Julio_Geordio · February 25, 2020, 9:32pm

No point having money in the bank when civilisation collapses

Only 3% of Italian coronavirus patients have died, and all of them had pre-existing conditions, Walter Ricciardi of the World Health Organisation told a Rome press conference Tuesday. “We must scale back this great alarm,” said Ricciardi, a former director at Italy’s Higher Health Institute (ISS).

Of 100 sick people, 80 get well of their own accord, 15 have serious but manageable problems, 5% are extremely serious, of which 3% die. Furthermore, as you know, all the people who died already had serious health conditions.

He said the alarm “is right, is not to be underestimated, but the disease must be placed within the correct terms”.

Julio_Geordio · February 25, 2020, 9:34pm

So far. You can’t calculate the fatality rate until the rest recover.

The good news is it seems to have no effect on kids

ciarancareyshurlingarmy · February 25, 2020, 9:34pm

I like Walter. His name suggests a safe pair of hands, reminds me of Walter Zenga.
