The WHO has just reported that a confirmed case of the virus in a dog has been found n Hong Kong. The dog tested "weakly positive" after showing flu-like symptoms. Apparently, the mutt's owner has also contacted the virus. This is a potentially serious development as it makes the job on containing the spread of covid-19 even harder than it is now.

Got worse news than that...

QuoteA woman working as a tour-bus guide in Japan tested positive for the coronavirus for a second time, Osaka's prefectural government said on Wednesday, the first person in the country to do so amid growing concerns about the spread of the infection.

QuotePossible that virus may be "bi-phasic like anthrax," said Philip Tierno Jr., Professor of Microbiology and Pathology at NYU School of Medicine.

QuoteThough a first in Japan, cases of second positive tests have been reported in China, where the disease originated late last year.

By the amount of media stuff and 60% of the world getting it, we're doomed!

Doom is indeed possible. The probability is about that of Antrim winning an All Ireland, possible, but unlikely.

There used to be a difference, but nowadays it is the comparison of two infinitesimally small numbers.

The idea or one idea about enforcing isolation on an infected area is to buy time for unaffected areas and allow for prepartions. What is the rationale for calling off the rugby international because some thousands of Italians would be attending? yet the Italians will be travelling to Ireland in their thousands and presumably in close social contact with Irish people over a period of 48 hours or so. Either impose a travel ban or allow the mingling. The stunt to ban the game  just smacks of phony finger in the dyke grandstanding.

Walking past a person in a shop is not the same as sitting beside them for 2 hours.
Switzerland has banned events of >1000 people from now. There is a balance in these things.
Italians will be mingling in airplanes, Dublin airport, taxis, buses, Dart, Luas, pubs, restaurants, hotels, other social events. Not the same exposure as a match, but overall similar.
Exposure is just one factor, health workers aside - susceptibility is a more important factor for most people, it determines how an exposure is experienced.  The vast majority of people who experience exposure, experience nothing or just mild symptoms.

It would be a whole lot better if they didn't come.

It's all about the money, flights should be banned to Northern Italy but no chance as folk will need compensating.

Armagh will win the same number of All Ireland's as Antrim over the next 10 years.
