6 people killed in car crashes in the 26 Cos. In the last 24 hours.
Do we stop driving?

Yes, close the petrol stations and ban driving! Oh wait let's apply common sense
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Driving is a good example. Fatality rates here are about 1% of the worst places in the world per car. There is  a whole range of things to do this, better roads, better cars, driving testing, car testing, police enforcement and people taking safety seriously. There needs to be a whole range of things for the pox, some people will still die but not anywhere near as many as might otherwise die.

Tosser, anyone at the scene not involved wont die of the same car crash. No one knows how this will evolve the flipancy of those it hasn't affected is astonishing.

He's not the biggest eejit in this thread.

Shouldn't the HSE/government be telling us who and where the corona virus patient is? A man in the east of the country is all we know. How can people tell if they might have been in contact with him or been places he has been?

Heard there is more than one in the East. Probably trying to avoid hysteria.

Think this is a sensible call, hopefully Armagh schools follow.

Because most people passing him on the street are not at risk. If you were on a plane from Milan than you should be aware of the risk and sitting 8 rows away from this guy doesn't materially change that.

Will it now follow that'lk there'll be a worldwide recession?

Well, apparently there is now an outbreak in an elderly care home in the US.

Unfortunately, I think we will soon see just how bad this could potentially be if folks continue to be flippant about it spreading  [and govts have been far too slow to act so far].

It's all driven by the economic consequences, no government gives a flying one how many old or infirm are wiped out as long as their economy is ok. The irony being had borders been closed earlier this could have prevented the spread, airlines aren't cancelling or giving refunds as governments are saying it's safe to travel.

Yup I agree. Borders weren't closed because they want it spread. They want a few hundred thousand or millions of us gone, especially those they consider to be a burden to society.
