Why does the death rate double as you move from 30s to 40s? It then trebles from 40s to 50s, and 50s to 60s, and then doubles in the higher age groups

But I'm most curious why it doubles at that demographic juncture?

No people sick.

Sorry for doubting the poster but I am on mod instructions we will not be sharing internal school communication.

Students were indeed in the infected area all are back non are sick.
Following HSE advice good love them.

Again sorry to the student I though he was a troll I was wrong.:)

Defo a student alright he sent me a pic of his year book. Sounds like he's just worried which is understandable.

I've seen hand sanitizers in hospitals, but nowhere else. Introducing them makes sense, will reduce spread of infection, and is a no-brainer

Such as?

I've seen hand sanitizers in coffee shops and banks.

Why should the government be issuing free hand sanitizers?

Go to the chemist and buy your own for 2 euro.

We've been through foot and mouth disease, swine flu, bird flu, SARS. We'll go through this like we went through the others and it will die down in a few months.

The first symptoms are respitory and take affect between 2 to 14 days of infection so just be vigilant of people coughing in you vicinity.

Hope it's not extended to Belgium yet, as we are playing Club Brugge tomorrow...

Well I’m 6 days home from Cambodia, in a heap with a flu and aches and pains all over, in bed freezing and sweating, now all day have like a lump in my throat. No trouble breathing unless I lie down.
But it’s just the flu even though national rate is baseline and I haven’t come into contact with anyone hardly at all with.
Pointless going to the doctor and the helpline they set up when I called said call back if it gets worse. Still have the runs too. Wish that would stop.

How much worse though? Our government and media seem to be pretending it isn’t happening here.
Despite cancelling the Rugby?
Wtf is goin on?

Another good hygiene practice is BBE or bare below elbow.

Wear sleeves to the elbow, no rings with stones, no nail polish. Much easier to clean deeper.

For every 2-3 times you sanitise your hands, use a good hand cream.

Anyway he is deleting his posts so his school does not try and trace him which I think is wise he got the message out.:)

People coming back from infected areas without being isolated and this is HSE guidelines.:rolleyes:

I know sorry.

We have had two false reports on here already today from Twitter.

Anyway our scepticism did him a favour by putting the breaks on no personal or traceable info leaked online.

I'm talking about schools, universities, libraries, churches, shopping malls, airports, train stations etc...where people congregate.

Its a common sense...it costs little...and it could make a real difference


Not doing so is stupidity. I suspect many posters have not lived or worked outside Ireland and truly don't understand how things work.

HSE will have a lot to answer for in a few days in my opinion. They seem more interested in averting genuine worry than informing people of proper precautions.

DCU installed 70 hand sanitiser stations throughout the campus over 2 weeks ago.

Government formation should suspend for 6 months and they should work on a cross party basis for preventative measures.

The health system is ****ed and far from capable of dealing with it because of successive FF and FG Governments. Let them fall further on their swords.

A serious outbreak of this in Ireland will signal the end of the HSE and FG and FF who will probably merge with maybe 15-20 seats between them. The HSE exists as a glorified social employment scheme for FF cronies who got jobs for life between 2002-2007 on massive salaries to do absolutely nothing at all.

It is kept barely functional by semi-slave migrant medical staff from the Mid-East and Philippines, nothing gets done without Union consent and it is run entirely for the benefit of its own corrupt administrators and quango cronies. 10,000 - 30,000 staff to be fired from it wouldn't hardly go noticed. It drains the state coffers each year to the tune of around €20billion.

The public sector Healthcare cannot function as it currently stands despite record levels of funding, it is like a wart on society which needs to be cut off. Privatise it would be my own nuclear option or else ban trade unions from all walk of Public employment. Having a Public sector job for life should be wort a 20-25% pay drop immediately due to job security, instead these useless individuals get above and beyond the private sector. Look at the NHS where Nurses barely earn £20k a year in comparison.

The difference between public and private is massive yet the only difference is trade unions. The Covid-19 crisis here will be some serious disaster in this country and we will probably come out the most damaged in the developed world.

I just based it on swine flu, bird flu and SARS which were all flu viruses like the coronavirus so yeah, I did actually base it on something. Read the post.

But stick to being an alarmist.

Fully agree with you. It is the usual response - the HSE is utterly not fit for purpose, doesn't know how to deal with this. Likely the first cases will be confirmed tomorrow, and they will have the usual pretentious doctors on RTE saying in their usual patronising tone that there is nothing to worry about
