St.Patrick's day parades have been cancelled across Ireland amid concerns about the Coronavirus outbreak in Ireland. Parades in towns across Cork, Sligo, Tipperary, Laois, Kerry and Kildare have been cancelled and postponed until further notice. Health authorities have released a set of guidelines in order for people to be protected from the Coronavirus. These guidelines have been reviewed and considered by the organisations of the above parades in order to make an educated and safe decision as the health and welfare of citizens becomes top priority. Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald has stated that she believes the Dublin Parade will not go ahead due to health and safety concerns. https://www.longfordleader.ie/news/h...rus-fears.html

Better to err on the side of caution, I mean it's just a Parade

You seem awfully sure that it's an over reaction, you couldn't possibly know that you're correct about that.

Ridiculous
If it makes people feel safe, fair enough I guess. But for me, this is unneeded fear mongering. Still think most people have either had it, or currently have it, or will get it soon and its nowt to worry about with the huge majority. Do parades get cancelled in flu season?

ahhh, that's really unfortunate. Must be really disappointing. Imagine if they can't have the title parade after 30 years of waiting. I'm sure this Virus was created in Manchester.

most of that death rate stats comes from China where people smoke like crazy and healthcare is not the same as in the west so id take that stat about death rates cautiously

I was making the point that there is no way the majority of us have had it. I'll keep taking stats from medical professionals though, and wait for them to revise the lethality of the disease.

But mortality rate being lower..makes a hell of a lot of sense given it seems many do present extremely mildly, and children seem to have no symptoms at all in a lot of cases. If you used only stats of those bad enough to be hospitalised with flu..and ignored everyone else, death rate would likely be 10% or something. They do need to do random tests to find out how much its spread though..only focussing on those who ask for one..does not exactly give accurate info!

Flu also does not necessarily kick your arse (mind one time I had it, I literally wanted to die and couldnt move for a week). It does in a lot of people, but others can present mildly, or they can just be carriers also. Test a bunch of randomly picked people throughout the country, and it will be found there are many many more than the apparent 50k cases. Mortality rate I really doubt is as high as it appears, for that reason. Only those needing medical help are being tested, of them, mortality rate seems to be 2% or whatever. But it is ignoring those who have caught it but are not bad enough to need help.

At least its kept Brexit out of the news for a while, so thats been a nice change! Now instead of Brexit apparently ruining our lives and igniting a war that will kill us all, Covid19 is going to kill us all.

Also agree on businesses. 'Just a parade' yeah, but that parade brings in possibly a lot of businesses main income for the year! Like if pride was cancelled in London, a lot of businesses would lose a lot.
